Melisha Kaur Poet Free verse

Paradox

Maybe she doesn't take the covers
Off her furniture because she
Doesn't want it to feel like home

Maybe she painted the walls black
Because her favourite colour was
white

Maybe she threw her vinyl records
Off the fourteenth floor because
She adored them so much

Maybe she drank whisky a little
Too much because it reminded
Her of her father's breath

Maybe she broke all the frames
On her shelf because they were
Her mother's favourites

Maybe she liked to stare at flames
And ashes because it resembled
Her childhood

And maybe that's why she returned
The flowers he gave her because she
Didn't want to ruin him too.

15th of September, Tuesday

Miraj Raha September 16, 2015 at 5:41 AM Such a sad somber tone in this one,the contradictions were greatly implemented and the ending was powerful and unpredictable. Melisha Kaur September 17, 2015 at 2:36 AM Thank you for the very thoughtful comment, Miraj. It is the tiny things like this that warms my heart.
