Chapter 30: the art of romanticizing life

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 1576

nothing...

you're nothing to me,

until I get myself

to think you are more,

and suddenly you're something -

I think I could make you be anything.

It must be like Kurt Cobain said:

„thank you for the tragedy

I need it for my art" -

and so we begin and sin and depart,

I'm drinking, you're driving, I'm lying -

to myself,

we're spinning around - blackout.

club lights and long nights,

relentlessly reckless -

and my mind is wherever yours is, darling -

out of sight,

„hurry up! - it's late and we've got the time to fight"

just me and you -

we're Bonnie and Clyde.

I think I missed the comfort in being sad,

intentionally tricking myself into being into you - it's bad,

listening to deep lyrics and poetry,

until eventually -

it becomes reality.

talk to me,

and I promise you I won't steal your heart -

'cause you'll be giving it to me,

I won't even need to ask.

and one day you'll thank me for the tragedy,

'cause that will become

your art.

nothing,

you were nothing to me,

but I got myself to think that you are something

and now I don't know anymore,

what's true,

and you know the worst is -

that I can't even blame it on you.
