The Writer Never Speaks

But she doesn't want small talks .

She wants you to text her without saying hello .

Write her paragraphs about nothing at all .

Call her when she's half asleep and tell her about your beliefs .

Tell her about your smile and laughs , and about your grief and tears .

Come to her window in the middle of the night and ask her to sneak out .

Say you can't be with her forever and please do explain why .

Kiss her in every beautiful place you can take her to

so that she can never go back to them without tasting you like blood in her mouth .

Then remind her that she can't fall in love with you and when you'll leave ,

she'll understand why storms are named after people .

She doesn't believe in forever , but she hopes you would stick for a while .

She broke her rules for you because she's not ready to lose you .

And countless times a day , she has to force herself to stop thinking about you .

Because she knows you will destroy her in the most beautiful way .

And yet , to her , you were not a mistake and loving you was not in vain .

For she is a poet and you are a walking metaphor .

But of course she would never say any of that to you .

She won't tell you about the constant meltdowns and the endless tears .

As she writes about thoughts on her mind that never reached her lips .

For she is a writer , and the writer never speaks .
