Sur toi

I write about what I endure
The little deaths, about the wounds
I write my fear
My lack of love
I write from the heart
But it’s always

About what I couldn’t say
Couldn’t live, couldn’t hold on
I write in verses
And against all
It’s always hell
That pushes me

To throw ink on the paper
Blame those who left me
Writing is always stepping back
To the moment everything fell apart

We don’t write
About what we love
About what doesn’t
Cause a problem
That’s why
I don’t write
About you
Don’t worry

I write about what hurts me
The list of strengths I have left
My miles of missed screws
From bad in prose, from broken verses

I write like one howls at the moon
In the night, I dip my pen
I write the abscess
I write the absent
I write the rain
Not the nice weather

I write what can’t be said
On the walls, I write on the rooftops
Writing is always going back
To those who made us leave

We don’t write that we lack nothing
That we’re happy, that all is well
That’s why
I don’t write
About you
Don’t worry

I write when I hurt for others
When my pain resembles yours
When the world turns its back on me
I make it take the blame

I write the indelible blues
It seems less difficult
To tell everyone rather than one
And to have the final word

She has to be gone already
To write "don’t leave me"
They can’t live under the same roof
For him to come tell her he’s leaving

We don’t write about the luck we have
No love song when we do
That’s why, my love
I write nothing
About you
Don’t worry
