It’s okay to let go...
something I’ve recently been telling myself a lot
Yvonne Han Jul 2020
Always in flux:
Nothing is fixed in my heart of hearts
It is instead a perpetuating cycle
Of falling in and out of touch
And rediscovering
Everything I once felt
everytime.
Yvonne Han Jul 2020
I am old.
A romantic soul
Lost to the chasm
Of this tethered, mortal body
Floating through speckled memories
Of a life I used to love.

Weightlessly
I can only watch.
Waiting for
this young flame
dancing in the dust
Of past lives and love to
Forgive and
find it’s place.

Maybe one day I'll walk out of town
and say I'll see you around at the movies
Since I know you like to mull over
everything you'd never be

I don't need another perfect summer
lying on your lap
So you can tell your friends you knew me
Over that stale paper cup of reunion coffee

But for now you can pretend I'm yours
Living off couch benefits
till I finally take off.

I've never been very honest with myself.
But I suppose you could tell
from how hard I try to come off as enigmatic,
when in reality the only mystery to me is
how I haven't blown up into a million pieces yet.

But you can't hide everything forever.

Don't be like me
Filtering words
till the only stream
flowing from my lips
is a flat vibration
resonating a fear
you call incompetence.

Don't roll your eyes
when I lecture you.
You've had three decades to **** up,
and two to **** me over,
so you don't have to keep waiting longer.

Tell me the truth
when your tongue tenses up
Spit it out
Make me sick
I don't care
if you've seen it all before
I don't care
how many times you've had to lie
to make those sleepless nights disappear.

Don't you see it's pointless now?
I already know you're dying
to lose yourself.

I know you're tired ma,
but I'm hungry.
Yvonne Han Jun 2020
The bitter cold of Monday morn
Entices every bone within
And whilst the passing freeze forlorn
I'll shake a grin.

Minds wander of tomorrow's fate
With mouths wide open, eyes closed shut
My heart and head can't concentrate
Word's aren't enough.

Surrounded by a thousand stares
The child in me giggles contempt
I revel this secret affair
This smile shall tempt.
I wrote this many years ago when I was still innocent. rip.
