light of my life, fire of my griefA Poem by gunagya sokallight of my life, fire of my grief.i loved you so much; the deafening silence in the quiver of my bones; you drew a dagger, forth, a ton, of warm steel; tearing every clothe, every niche of me; as you passed through every crevice, as your own light; i stood, in incandescence; my arched ribs extended out to yourself, when i searched for your unfettering light; i protruded, and walloped, i missed you like the yearning i'd felt; and my rocks came crumbling down, of the only sombre of what you had left behind of me. i was struck when i first heard from you again, was lathered in brown foam; a shampoo suicide; i had a childish whim; i wanted to tell you, that i was now enlightened for only a month later; i had learnt everything you wanted to tell me that i never understood, but i only bore guilt; now halo; crushed under my suffering; my insufferable grievance; the light of its warmth had already brushed me, and i'd often fell to the footsteps you'd trudged along, the frail of my blossoms; chestnuts, textured; you ruptured open bones; this vine stuff you left behind had already twirled me, scathe, lightheaded; i was stuffy, a pale beige of your dough, slate; from the tears i'd scarfed myself through, a ruin; i had soured the dough, i was in your kneading, splintered; when I heard a cutting, a blade that severed; through, piercing me, concorde took route out of my throat; i gushed from the walls of my throat, out, wounded; screeching, and you felt it in the gut; darling, i stood ashamed, leaving me bare, in this new sun; and i swallowed, but we withered different; in the last text of yourself, my sorrow only humiliated me; i grew so frantically restless; the shiver of my body set apart a quail; a silver tongue, "do you still hate me? would you still come back?" i missed talking to you, my head bowed lower than the weight of uranus; blue, cold; a stern stubble; i couldn't stand next to you, next friday; next weekend; a sunday daughter, i pleased; for, the only reason that kept me alive was this pain you left me with; enough to seep my eyes above; the surface, i carried you literally anywhere; your heartbreak had taken root into me; a kayak dream; and i was left with everything; and everything else, * i concurred; i hadn't showered in six weeks, now, my eyes burned when I rubbed them, strings or chords; pitched cuts; i screamed seething, cuts pitched me; and for the longest time i harbored fear, i was fearsome; i cut myself a million other times; i wreathed breathless; gasping, in the sinew of my bridge; please don't leave, © 2025 gunagya sokal |
