Secret Confessions Poem by Saphir Malek

I didn't ever know that tears make you human
That someone without sadness is a vestige of a human
Loving you teach me how love can change the map of time
and when I love, the world stops turning

If you're my friend help me To leave you
Or if you're my beloved help me To heal from you
If I had known my ending I would not have begun

I miss you so teach me To not miss
Teach me how to clip the roots of your love from my depths
Teach me how the tear dies in the pupils and not cry
Teach me how the heart dies and desire kills itself

I came as a butterfly to place within your hands,
the colors of my wings.
But you burned my wings by injustice
I screamed while the sword was implanted in my chest.
And the betrayal destroyed my huge hopes.

how can i forgiet you?
you preferred my murder
and loved the sound of my groans.

But one day I will delet your precious name
from my languages.
and my stories will continue to be written without your name..
without you
