Prologue:
This poem is about the clashing of a crucial aspect of oneself: self-acceptance. Often overlooked, this process can often look negative or pessimistic, but it is an aspect that many people experience at least once in their lifetimes.
No Reason
You say I’m quiet
You say I’m far
You say I withdrew from what we once cherished
I don’t blame you
Not a word I’d disregard,
Love isn’t my cup of tea
But neither is patience for you
I’m trying my hardest to be there
With little knowledge of what’s meant to be
With no reason, I somehow love you as much as I love me, maybe even a little more
But you want it all
Sorry darling, that’s a bit expensive
You say you want to leave
You make me think I want to run away
You make me believe the lie
I believed it, I don’t regret it
It taught me how to love better
Taught me the value of another
But why so harsh? Tore a wound in me,
A wound that hurts and leaves me sleepless,
I hear you, but ouch, I’m bleeding tears
I’m trying my hardest to be there,
With little knowledge of what’s meant to be
With no reason, I somehow love you as much as I love me, maybe even a little more
But you want it all,
Sorry darling, that’s a bit expensive
The price one pays for the well-being of a relationship,
Is the price one would pay to risk being in love,
But I love you while risking it all,
Actions speak louder than words they say
Perhaps my actions meant nothing so far,
I tried to save me at the cost of your pain
My ignorance, tore you down
We both bleeding tears, just different reasons
We are trying our hardest, I know
With little knowledge of what’s meant to be
With no reason, we love each other as much as we love ourselves,
But we need more than that,
Love each other enough for two,
Stop dividing the love and multiply instead
What’s meant to be will unfold on its own,
The steady flow of our love, may it teach each other to keep going, keep seeing, keep feeling our warmth,
You, I need, I, you need
