Love poem,
collective words
Not original
But Suheir Hammad said painfully
If you ever come across my beloved remind him of me, because he has forgotten
Oh you who have forgotten me, it has never crossed your mind to ask after me
Oh you who have forgotten me, repeatedly till pain coming out of her teeth
Wishing them to ever walk loved and in love
Know the sun for warmth and the moon for direction,
When you see my beloved
Do not tell him I have cried nightly for him
I waited for him
Just wishing he could speak
Because his words, bring out the god in them
And us poets do not break hearts
Do not intend for ribs to be spoken
Us poets we wail for love and leap warm hearts
While I found myself whole the moment he spoke
Still love aches and I will make him miss that love like sugar aches
