Threads of Reality [ poetry | prose ]

Poetry

Threads of thought, interwoven to visualise a less than picturesque reality. Or alternatively, some really deep thoughts from my moments of peak societal angst. Formerly titled "The Anti-Fanfic" Highlights: great IG captions, plus a way to get rid...

                                              Your heart, absent
My heart, shattered
If you do not wish to speak 
I will not shove honey down your throat
I know when the distance between us has become too far
And the red string must be cut apart
I will not let you weave a noose and shatter my plans
Nor drag the other half of my soul to the bitter ends of the earth.
I am my own self,
I have my dignity to uphold
I will not lower myself to my knees
Just for you to strike my head
Even as I lose the one part of me I thought I knew 
I know now that I knew nothing at all
But yet, to think what could have been
It tears my heart apart.
