Israh Sadan Poems

She has your heart on a string
And plays it like a yoyo.
Up and Down.
Reel you in and toss you out.
...

Bet you think this post is about you. Don't you.
Well maybe it is. Or maybe it's not.
Maybe it's about no one I've ever met.
Or someone I've always known.
...

Here I lay him down to rest
Careful of the knife stuck in his chest
There’s no chance he will awake
Not after the poison I had him take
...

Today I seek it.
A pill to calm the chaos in my heart
To slow the flow of emotion to my brain
Something to soften the sharp shards
...

I was stupid
I was blind
Believed he was
One of a kind
...

I have all the pieces but the picture
remains a puzzle
and I remain clueless.
Cannot make sense of the chaos.
...

I've put you in the past.
Stay, I pray.
You haunt my happiness,
Leaving me literally
...

More then this
I cannot do.
More than me
I cannot be.
...

I'm the monster you moulded.
My fresh flesh compressed
by your filthy fingers.
...

I grow stale of this tale
And with deep regret
I try to forget a kindness,
a confidence
...
