Messy Feelings Poem by Sheila Rexho

You drown me in the dead sea of insecurities

Painting the impossibility with a bright shade of blue

making me believe in all of those fantasies

of a forbidden me and a complicated you

I'm sick of transcribing the signals you send

I get confused every time you reach for me

Wish all this could come to an end

So I could finally set myself free

Feels like a never ending curse

crawling into the memories of an undone story

It keeps getting worse and worse

to get myself out of your territory
