No One Poem by Miroslava Odalovic

Because I do not deserve to be loved
I’ll let be loved by no one

Because I do not confess any dream
I’ll let myself dream of no one

Because this heart will be buried alive
I’ll let it beat for no one

Because I smash everyone I touch
Because I break the most fragile cords
I’ll come to no one and reach for no one

Because on the threshold that lies there for me
There are no more steps I’ll walk to no one

Because there are enough cellar rooms to share
With vacuous sounds I’ll descend to no one

Because I am who I ever am
I’ll do my best to become no one
