Him

anfisa

I open my snap just to see if he responded

Delivered for 20 mins is all I see

But am I really bothered

To him I am just a piece of flesh

Waiting to tear into me like an animal

His eyes filled with desire and he cannot contain himself

This is not what I want and yet the word “no” is at the tip of my tongue

I cant quite spit it out

As if I am scared to lose something

But what am I really losing

The guy who sees me only for my looks

If he took one look at me he would know I’m into books

Yet he doesn’t know my favorite color or what makes me smile

But I know every small detail about him from the cockroach he named to his number that’s ready for me to dial

But why am I so scared to let go you may ask

Well because I’ll lose the guy who I saw one day at dusk

His hair flowing in the wind and his nice little grin

Although he says he is interested is he really

Or is his interest in me just silly

I hide my tears back every time I talk

Because I am making an effort just to gawk 

And yet I cannot give up my passion that maybe one day he’ll be mine

But it’s too late cause all the girls call him fine

            Humans don't know what is true love,
            They love for beauty or wealth only,
            Unfortunately the word love is misused,
            Until the world ends, none will understand,
            The true meaning of love and affection,
            A curse on humanity indeed,
            Some cheat and some are cheated,
            Or all cheat and all are cheated,
            World has billions of humans,
            Wait and choose the right one,
            Still, expect from none gratitude,
            Reciprocation normally is feeble!

            such a relatable write, thanks for sharing
            (when we feel, we do so
            unintentionally/intuitively
            Oscar's actors can try, to imitate
            but there's a reason, Hollywood
            is failing...
            to love, is to feel
            in its most chaotic and raw, nature
            You
            are not at fault for having feelings
            for someone, who's
            proven themselves, as unworthy
            of your feelings
            You
            need only, recognise
            what in you still, genuinely
            like in him
            then carry that, as a trait to look out for
            when you next, fall for someone
            this, analytical
            way of thinking
            may seem, detached or heartless
            but it's a way
            we, who choose to bravely
            seek, love
            must survive, or else
            we may find our heart
            torn to shreds, before
            we find those who can cherish
            us, for more
            than our surface layer, aesthetics)
