''Do not fall in love
With people like me.
people like me
will love you so hard
that you turn into stone
into a statue where people
come to marvel at how long
it must have taken to carve
that faraway look into your eyesDo not fall in love with people like me
we will take you to
museums and parks
and monuments
and kiss you in every beautiful
place so that you can
never go back to them
without tasting us
like blood in your mouthDo not come any closer.
people like me
are bombs
when our time is up
we will splatter loss
all over your walls
in angry colors
that make you wish
your doorway never
learned our namedo not fall in love
with people like me.
with the lonely ones
we will forget our own names
if it means learning yours
we will make you think
hurricanes are gentle
that pain is a gift
you will get lost
in the desperation
in the longing for something
that is always reaching
but never able to holddo not fall in love
with people like me.
we will destroy your
apartment
we will throw apologies at you
that shatter on the floor
and cut your feetwe will never learn
how to be softwe will leave.
we always do.''
I am not entirely sure who wrote this. I first I thought it was written by Gabriel Gadfly but he posted on tumblr he was 99% sure he didn't. And there is this poem tumblr account claiming she did.
So, I just investigated a bit more about this. It seems like this poem is a combination of Caitlyn Siehl and another person who I have no idea who it is.[lol the girl from tumblr was Caitlyn and when she replied to me like 5 months ago I had no idea who she was until now. woops.]
But anyway, this work is perfect. Lets admire the beauty of this masterpiece.
