cardiovascular attack
Vincent Legrand Feb 2022
my mother hoisted my hospital bed
to the top of the tower
she said i could use some sunlight
little did she know
the sun would burn
and i wouldn’t be able to scream
i felt like writing about my dreams. i’ve always been a vivid dreamer and often have nightmares and can wake up affected by them. this piece is about a dream i had recently where i had a cardiovascular attack and what happened after. i woke up in tears.

i command my thought queen
to keep her revolting peasants in order
until i remember
she’s a queen of the people

do i fall in love with people anymore
or do i fall in love with how much they love me
i dont know if i still possess the ability to be romantic anymore. working on my love addiction has spoiled the idea of love i’ve always known. some moments i almost even miss it.

things are ok
until you’re not

sure anymore
if this particular thing
is part of the everything

that will fall into place
in the end

a no I have
a yes I can get
a no I can give myself
i don’t always have to victimise myself

tegen mijn hart in
Vincent Legrand Nov 2021
soms kan ik er nog steeds
moeilijk bij

dat het volgen van je hart
vaak niet de juiste keuze is

het gaat in tegen alles
wat ik dacht te zijn

en toch slaag ik er in
er in te geloven
en te beseffen
dat het geen leugen is

i think back of our moments
and how lucky i was

i wish i could go back
and know how lucky i was

if there’s no new ones to come

and i am always the one
doing the suffering
i wonder if anybody else
were to be the one
whether i’d exhale or run

today, i befriended a spider
they say you should face your fears head on
in a way, i’ve been doing it for years

unspoken words
Vincent Legrand May 2020
sometimes i catch myself
going over the things you said

and wonder if there were things
you didn’t say

if you felt selfish things
you considerately couldn’t say

things
i would have liked to hear

things that would cause us pain

i take back the missing
being an empty one

it is very full

stay
Vincent Legrand May 2020
you wanna have it easy
see me before you leave

have that time be easy
not hear about my pain

what's the use
of this abuse

to see each other
spark my love for one another

to go home
and feel utterly alone

you say don't think of what's to come
enjoy before it's done

as if it would ease
that one more tease
that one more kiss
that feeling of bliss

you say rather now than later
you are right

let me leave now
rather than you leave later

regretless
Vincent Legrand May 2020
i don't regret saying what i did
i felt and saw what it was
before it was

and might not be

homesickness
Vincent Legrand Nov 2021
it’s not that i don’t want to go back
i don’t even know if my grounds are sound

i just don’t want to be the person to return
only when someone has died

2 hours
Vincent Legrand Nov 2020
that’s how long every date takes
until i realise they’re not you
and it’s time to go home
no one compares to you and maybe i wouldn’t let anyone

forgive me
Vincent Legrand May 2020
as i'm breathing shorter
i know i've failed you

you didn't want me
to dwell on you

i should've been better
by now

forgive me
for loving you

(the only way i know how to)

an empty missing
Vincent Legrand May 2020
you said it would get better
in a way it has
the intensity of it
not the missing
i miss you more and more
look for you in other people
it’s not an emotional missing
but an empty one

my last day. mine.
Vincent Legrand Oct 2020
im wondering
if i was told
i had one day
left to live
how much of it
i would spend
-or waste-
thinking of u
would it be more than i already do

my life did not use
to be a minefield

just a field
of dry grass
and dead trees
i have to try my best not to make a move that will drive me over the edge

a smile
Vincent Legrand May 2020
tonight at the dinner table
i couldn’t stop staring
at the empty chair

i blinked my eyes
and you were there
enjoying my mother’s fare.


i gave you a smile

i fantasise about telling you
how i’ve felt all this time
how i knew we’d marry
things i can’t tell you now
or it wouldn’t actually happen

things i could comfortably
tell you later
*** it wouldn’t scare you off
since we’d be together
and it’d only warm your heart

— The End —
