I am not in high school, anymore
Adrian Quilty 1990 (Australia)
Love that makes me feel.
I want to take Alice’s potion,
Grow into a giant
I want to feel the size of Mount Everest
Outside of the galaxy, in space
I want to hold the sphere in my hand
Watch it crumble like soft sand
I want to watch all of you fall
Downwards into nothing at all
I want to watch her burn with you,
I want her to burn the worst.
And in my core I don’t mean that,
But this heart in my chest hurts
I want her to see
I want her to know
I know I don’t matter
But I want my pain to show
I want you all to die
I want to hold the world
In the corner of my eye
I want to watch you all
Watch out for her
Her her her
She’s all that’s in my head
And I can’t breathe, I just want to go to bed
I can’t, never sleep, always you. Never think, that’s you too. Im afraid to blink, it will all be gone, I want to blink, it will all be gone
About this poem
It hurts when I feel. It hurts when I don’t. Nothing works anymore. So I’ll try writing again.
