It was the only thing that made her happy
not the human interactions
not the smiles and hugs of her lovers
but the life of something which she could never lead
a life that could be shattered with one shot
As the life behind her became a blur
all she could do was sit and wait for the words to come out
meaningful inspirational profound letters
that would touch others
for she did not care of their effect on herself
the black coffee which she had hated as a child became her only motivation
the wind which bothered her and messed her hair
became her only friend
The things
things that were just things
as he left and walked and didn’t turn around
they were all he left her
things that were him but were not
that she loved but wanted to rip apart
What a little big thing he was
how far but yet so transparent he was
i looked down at what he was
but he no longer is what he was
my mother said thin eyebrows are a sign of a weak woman
how weak you are with your pencil drawn face my mother said
but all i wanted was a man, mother
hair pull
pull hair
a handful of hair
gone so I can get to my brain
so I can pull it out too
my dry eyes would not refill themselves
the bone pointing out of my skin would not fracture itself
if I try hard enough
I floated
and I went down
and up again
I wanted to look for something deeper under
and when I wanted to go up again, i asked myself
why?
why go up when I can stay down with the calm sand
why go up and be hit by a wave when I can be safe under.
