Oh my Goodness
I could convince myself to fall inlove with anyone as long as there was a hint of kindness… I would fight friends my fam over How beautiful you are…
Am I that good a liar?
I think it was not love I was hungry for but kindness…
As if the kind words would mute all the selfhate…
As if hearing – you are beautiful, would convince me of being one.
As if the kisses would erase the robbery out of my flesh. Out of my bones, out of my memory.
It was truly kindness I fell for…
For love was not enough
Love did not wait
Love did not listen
Love came and left
But what I remeber The most is the kindness.
