The Moment I Broke
Melle Oct 2017
The moment I broke
Quick and then slow
Merciless and then cruel
When I could not stand up for myself
And you did not either
When I realised I could not do it all alone
And people started leaving
When I needed a way out
Not knowing where the exit was
When I needed peace and silence
And you kept disturbing it
When I needed a parent
And you told me about your father
When I took some time to reflect
And you thought I could handle you
It was when you grabbed my arm
And I wanted you to let go
It was when you let me go
And then you let me go again
Quick and then slow
Merciless and then cruel
Any comments, suggestions, praises;) are welcome

unwoken
Melle Oct 2017
You don’t know what it is to have and to hold,
from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
You don’t know what it is
to love and to cherish,
till death do us part,
according to God's holy ordinance;
and thereto I do not pledge thee
my faith
And/Or
pledge myself to you."

Signed: Your unlawfully almost partner for life
He was never ready for me, and I blame him for coming up to me. I blame him for initiating something too big to handle. Wrong place, wrong time I guess..

if you were a girl
Melle Oct 2017
I dreamt you were a girl
A beautiful girl
That girl was you

Trying to hide
Embarrassed, fearful, cautious
But that is also you

It is also me
You revealed yourself
And I saw me

I saw parts
Of all mankind
I saw humanity

That girl in you
Is everyone reflected
In beauty and vulnerability

Through this and therefore
We are lovingly connected
Even more

— The End —
