contradictions;
they say the world's
made out of contradictions,
but i don't see myself
as this important to the world.
expectations;
they ruin us.
we sew fabrics inside our heads
and end up falling in the hole
of the needle we used.
eyes;
they told me my eyes
held the whole universe
yet everytime i looked at my mirror,
all i could find there was you.
fingers;
the most dangerous
human feature –
they could hold a rose
as easily as
they could hold a gun.
mind;
if you could read mine,
you'd drown in tears
faster than i drown in
my thoughts
every. fucking. second.
plants;
i either water them too much,
or forget to check on them for days;
i either drown them with love,
or let them suffocate.
you;
the things i do for you,
the things you do to me.
