I Bite Poet Free verse

I'll be Alright

I'm no one's love story 
My words spiral back to me 
My love letter never reach the right address 
I sing my love poems apologetically
As if this piece of broken links 
that connects me to feelings that are forbidden
Isn't even mine to give
To others

 
But I borrow time from people 
To recall the memories that 
I pray I didn't waste


My lifeline is short 
I already got my heart broken twice 
Another punch lends itself on my face 
In the usual fights where I'm beating myself
On days I can't bear my own presence


I need someone
To witness my traumatic episodes of 
Shaking furiously every time 
The similar nightmares chase me around


I put ice cubes on my tongue 
And numb my feelings as I swallow 
My sentences with a smile 


I am not asking for a love that lasts eternity
But hold me for just another second 
Just read one more line where I distract you
With my metaphors 


I don't want to be lonely with myself tonight...
