the gun

if I hate you I hate me too
you looked at me with tears in your eyes
I couldn’t even connect with
the fragile and strong alike
on your face

if I hate you I hate me too
and every person because we are all capable of letting anger become a gun that
shatters
the fragile and strong alike

if I hate you I hate me too
I said it with a tremor because I felt deeply
fragile and strong alike
because I just cannot take these
wounds without a fight

  1. there is an unvoiced part of me, that wishes I could write like you. to say a truth of this depth and magnitude so eloquently, all the while knowing that it is a deep truth of your heart - is so much, so humbling.
