Premonitions by ~sherrabelle:iconsherrabelle:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Family Life > Open


I don't want children

one day I will abandon them
hide my disappointment in raw eyes
and escape
they will never understand how
much I loved them
how my heart ate itself
in cold blood
never understand why I left
why I chose the world
over their future

before that
I will not get married
and have extravagant affairs
dole out my soul
my lips are storytellers
kissing tales of harsh winters
standing outside your window
waiting
for a part of me
that never left
but also will
never come back

I can not look at you
with your glassy eyes
your stubborn hands
and transparent pen
which won't stop
recording my future

I wish
that I
could erase
the lines
in my palm

The second stanza is dripping with wonderful lines about your storytelling lips :D Very provocative and yet poignant - there is a lot of self doubt behind the confidence.

well
it's about seeing the similarities between
you and your parents
and being scared that history
will repeat itself
like it usually does

I think you should have children and get married,
and keep this poem and these thoughts in mind
as inspiration to be just what you thought you couldn't be.
I think you should have lots of kids,
and teach them the art of writing
about lips being storytellers and kissing tales of harsh winters,
and erasing the lines off of your palms.

I'm not going to ask you to,
but it would be nice,
if my gallery had visit from you.
