Metaphors

………………………………………………………………………………..

I like to believe that
you don’t deserve to love me.

How can you love someone
who can’t even love himself?

I’ve been living in the world of metaphors,
and I wouldn’t hesitate to give you one.

Love me not because of who I am,
but with how good my metaphors were.

I’ll give you all my best metaphors.
All you need to do is to find someone who does better.

Find someone who do as much metaphors as me
but is still a rocking chair after serious swings.

Tell him to create something more than metaphors
and it’s my pleasure to see him make you poems.

How can you love someone
who can’t even love himself?

How can you be with someone
who is strong enough only to give you metaphors?

I like to believe that
you don’t deserve to love me.
