Some people spent their whole life trying to put it into words, while others placed it so deeply in their elegies, that the whole world got to know their greatest love of all time. They say the one who has created a piece of art, always had someone in their mind while creating it, and as they stroked the paintbrush on the canvas, or formed the right phrases after each line, or the musician who made the right melody, all of them immortalized the feeling they were feeling or the person they were reminiscing about. It shouldn't be considered just a piece of art but a piece of their heart.
If You Leave Me, I'm Coming With you is a collection of poems, not really written by a lovesick poet in the woods, but rather by a teen from a small town with big dreams. The girl who felt different feelings that confused her, the young love, family struggles, loss of someone close, in a simple way that people could relate to in different ways. It's not properly necessary for literature to be a tangled sorrowful setting of vintage words to be entangled by the readers. It could be simple, elementary with the same deep sorrows.
The thoughts of the raw years of life where we start the trail of our destinations, where we learn from things, when we make the mistakes for future, and grow out of ourselves both physically and emotionally.
You were my First Love; toxic, unhealthy for my state.
But i learned Love from you; you taught me what it meant to spend nights
crying at the edge of my bed and how it felt to really smile.
*************************
This is a collection of poetry for one series- love, pain, toxicity, heartbreak and memory. This is the first experience at love I had. I share with you my experiences, my thoughts, my recollections, my struggle and everything I felt. If you grew up having been deprived of love and then suddenly found yourself carrying what seems like the world's amount of love for someone else- I don't doubt you won't be able to relate, at one point in this poetry book you'll find yourself in me.
