if ???????????





if i could exist without taking space
if i keep quite everytime you hurt me
if i never notice the things that you do
if i never ask for anything
if i crouch everytime you are around
if i never question your motives
if i never asked any audacious questions
if i could help myself from being just another woman

would i be less offensive to you then?

Lots of lonely spaces, voids bit me when I tried to gaze back.
If I can not see you in those solitudes, and find you darkness instead,
How would I be reminded that someone exists just for me?

I hurt you I accept that. I am sorry; in love I forgot you are mortal.
But we foment where it’s a possibility to be understood.
Be not quiet for your voice reminds me that there is still reason.

I was a slouching youngster, a nomad with no cause. I never knew when I changed.
Remember when I climbed on that cliff to pick those wild flowers for you?
If you would never have noticed me then, would you have fallen in love with me?

My life betrayed me everywhere, and I lost my innocent fantasies somewhere.
Never felt so needed before I met you. I still have a purpose to live.
Don’t stop asking. I loved you so that one day you might ask me for yourself.

My depravities were too hard to swallow. I knew I was not perfect.
Meeting you changed it all. I got my other half which I had left with God.
You compliment me wherever I lack. Stand tall. Don’t shame me by crouching.

I plucked them and I was adamant I would put the flowers in your hair myself.
When suddenly scared you looked into my eyes and asked, “What is our future?”
Then I mustered courage to speak my heart. Go on question my motives.

Yes I get agitated whenever you ask me things. But, I enjoy your desire to rule over me.
Thanks. For even after that you are the one who comes to make peace.
Always in blind love is too monotonous, ask me those questions.

I loved you because you were so different from others. You loved me.
We were madly in love with our differences. Dearest, never be different.
For I loved the woman inside you. I don’t know which one it is.

You never were offensive.
The only offense to your name is stealing me from myself.
