A You to Unlove


F 0.5 I am not freezing but melting
Shedding skin tread on water
Heart on a ship which I just jumped off
Body like a hole in which you dig for pleasure
Make me sweat in your fist
Imprison me in your 5 minutes prayer

A river I can't cross over
Swim in quick sand down to your throat
Take my blood, repaint your heart
Teardrops on peony are transforming
Reshape their soft clay in fire
Evaporation of long-lost dreams
Residue of undaunting tries
To reach your highly defenced realm
Was there a door I failed to approach?
Was I on a ladder to your beautiful springe?

Doom to fall
Role in your sinister drama
A deep carved cross on my heart
In which you are buried
By these hands that ever touched you
Wanted you, polished you
The color of the cuts still fresh
A pain to remember
A you to unlove
A me to rebirth on the borderline

I can feel the passion and drama behind the scenes, your anger and disappointment and determination to move on and be done with it. I think? I can't pretend to understand it all but I think I get the gist of it. What, as a matter of interest is F O 5 at the start of the poem.

I love the rhythm of pain and anger in these lines:-

Body like a hole in which you dig for pleasure

Wanted you, polished you
The color of the cuts still fresh

Oooo, very nice Gattaca. Cinematic writing.

~Much Love~
