For we who dread love
Today,
my lover visited me in my dreams/ told me he loved me/ but even in my presence/ i see myself absent in his eyes
i do not know how to tell him/ that love is a foreign language my tongue cannot speak/ i do not know how to recite it/ i do not want to know how
cause i’ve learnt/ love is a plot device that knits a girl/ into a heart break story/ & drugs her heart in a sea of red tears
so/ i’ve learnt the art of uncaring/ & how to unlock faster than the speed of light/ i’ve learnt to lock my heart behind closed doors/ say to love/ stay away/ you’re a criminal here
