how is it so easy for you
to be kind to people he askedmilk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answeredcause people have not
been kind to me
Rupi Kaur Poems
i need someone
who knows struggle
as well as i do
someone
willing to hold my feet in their lap
The Type of Lover I Need
on days it is too difficult to stand
the type of person who gives
exactly what i need
before i even know i need it
The Type of Lover I Need
the type of lover who hears me
even when i do not speak
is the type of understanding
i demand- the type of lover i need
The Type of Lover I Need
you tell me
i am not like most girls
and learn to kiss me with your eyes closed
something about the phrase - something about
how i have to be unlike the women
You Tell Me
i call sisters in order to be wanted
makes me want to spit your tongue out
like i am supposed to be proud you picked me
as if i should be relieved you think
i am better than them
You Tell Me
you leave
but you don’t stay gone
why do you do that
why do you
abandon the thing you want to keep
You Leave
why do you linger
in a place you do not want to stay
why do you think it’s okay to do both
go and return all at once
