i once put
my weakness
in a black box,
tied it
with a golden ribbon
loosely,
for i didn't want you
to struggle
opening it,
and i watched
as your eyes sparkled,
like a little boy
who has received
the best gun toy
in the town
and a target
that never dies.

my love
is the only thing
left
after the war,
so we play
love songs
and dance
on tiptoe,
you don't want
to trigger
the unexploded ones,
in a war field,
the ruins
are considered strong,
but i'm waiting,
i want to see love
finally being outweighed
by pain,
- when do survivors
start to move on?

i'm still learning
how to not apologize
when i'm not wrong.

don't get me wrong
but
i don't love you
that much
that i want you
to find
someone better,
i hope
i'm enough.

i keep
looking for reasons
for doing
something
selfish.
as if my
own happiness
is not reasonable
enough.

i count
as i wait
for my mind
to reach
the surface
of my consciousness,
i don't cheer,
instead
i count seconds
by halves,
point five,
one
one point five
two,
am i the only one
who noticed
that a second
becomes too long
when you're drowning?
