Impossible to Bend breaking someone’s heart was never my true intention but i have done that at times and it … More

i speak to people
and sometimes
i am not really there
i know,
that i still care

it is the collective imprint
of so many lovers
and the search –
the search for another

this is the one
where the leak in my heart
pours for a while
this is the one with a joke
which i tell with a smile

when you brush past
and in your tactile way
you touch my arm
something happens inside
and the time stops still

you will need to
gather up your things
and start again
find yourself,
a prevailing wind

oh, i know
it is for the best
it is just…
it teaches me
things i always feared

and not sticking
to norms
becomes a condition
and if those
giving out these names
are truly humane

i have always
been on show
they said
i only like you
when your
vulnerability is on show

the person
i really fell in love with
they could never
really appreciate my worth
