Not the admission but
The fascination I have with
You
That feeling of wanting
Never letting go? I say
It must be that something is in the air
Giving way to the distraction
Words leaving my lips
Unchecked
I want to dedicate this picture to #TreeTuesday by @old-guy-photos. Show me your trees!
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
