"again" by ArinMaya

Have you ever read something that hits so close to home that you have to stop and read it multiple times to make sure that you're reading it right?  Yeaaaaaaa.  As soon as I read this poem by artist ArinMaya I couldn't help but laugh and shake my damn head at the situation....


again

I don’t ever want to see you again

Bumping up into me in a crowded railway station

Forcing lies from me like noise from a siren through a red light

I never want you to tell me your secrets again in hopes of opening

Me

I will only give you back my lies

Words like ‘maybe,’ ‘sure’

Smiles

Phrases like ‘I don’t know’ when really, I do

Discomforting silences that falsely give hope

I never want you to be so near or close to me to be able to smell my fears

Harmful more to you than me

Like a deadly fume coming from an innocent car, ready to combust

Please don’t get burned on my behalf

I’m really just not worth all that

I’m really just not into you


Be sure to check out ArinMaya and if you're in Brooklyn this Thursday 12/3 come out and support her show happening at the Dajeh Restaurant on Fulton Street @ 8pm!
