Why do I write about you?

Why do I write about you?
Because I want you to exist as I see you :
Beautiful, broken, sharp edged, honest, clear -
That is my selfishness.

Why do I write about you?
Because I want you to live in my world :
Quiet, grey, sharp, bright, confused -
This is my curiosity.

Why do I write about you?
To kill you so that you will cease haunting my dreams -
Because I'm sleepless,
Lonely,
              Forbidden,
                                    Locked,
A book with blank pages,
               A grey blackboard,
                                     A broken pen spilling ink.

Because,
I'm bleeding at the sight of you
And killing you in pages
Seems to be
The only way I can hide.
