unhurt
hurt was here before we were
someone you love will eventually disappoint you
maybe even break your heart or hurt your feelings
this will happen
accept it
sometimes repeatedly oftentimes
repeatedly
we will be hurt
and it will feel lonesome and sickening
and you will wonder what has gone mad in the world
you will question everything
beginning with yourself
you may even wish you owned a rifle
a knife
a proper fist
the perfect word to scar an inside
but you will cry
someone will hurt you today
tomorrow
the next day
three years from now
and you will love them one day
you will love them for it
there's this thing
this twisted appreciation for suffering
you can only know love through the lens of neglect
joy though the lens of pain
and it's fascinating actually
how we wound with our wounds
and call it humanity
the first time you hurt someone you love
you will question the last time you tended an open wound
you will vow to never do it again
you may even pray to some god
some yemaya
some universe
anyone listening for forgiveness
or the greatest death
you will not care at all
be prepared
be prepared for a hurting is coming
and it will come and it will take you suddenly
and maybe you will be dancing
or laughing
or remembering
maybe you wont even notice it at all
and you will hurt yourself
you will hurt yourself with all this hurt thought
and you will love
hurting
and you will love
no one really wants to hurt
you will say no one really wants to hurt
and it will turn from blame
to revelation
i don't really want to hurt
and you will love
did you know that?
did you know you will love?
never mind the who
never mind the when
it's of no importance
you will love
and it will unhurt us
all
someone you love will eventually disappoint you
maybe even break your heart or hurt your feelings
this will happen
accept it
sometimes repeatedly oftentimes
repeatedly
we will be hurt
and it will feel lonesome and sickening
and you will wonder what has gone mad in the world
you will question everything
