Escaspism

Sunday playlist plays in the background
lazy coffee cups lined by the window
An ugly painting half done
with the excuse of an allegory..

Sky threatened to pour over
the kind of weather that makes you want to die slower
I found myself under the sheets
blissfully ignoring the exam next week..

Tangled hair that smelled like shampoo
now laid scattered across his hand
Fingers stained blue stuck to his face by glue
his eyes slipped to mine and he just understands..

I'd cry about my ugly paintings..
and then about all my cravings
Then i rant about my physics test
and then about how i got into liking cats..

He'd wipe my tears and sweat
and then the paint on my chest..
left me in my bed with a kiss on my head
But we'll always be connected by a red thread..

Author's Note

It's a pretty sunday here and i couldn't bring myself to study..and this is what i did instead.. just so you know 'he' isn't a he, i meant it as a symbolic thing.. 'he' is what takes us to another world, 'he' is your escape route after a rough life, and 'he' alone is the reason of existence for some people..

God Bless Escapism! I don't believe in God, but in Escaping I surely do!
My favorites are Writers Cafe, Movies old & new, Ice cream & Peanuts in the Shell :) ...cracking them gives me a sense of accomplishment😅
Great write, August, hits home! :)

AWWW GIRL you are GREAT at this! I loved how you used the ‘he’ but even before that, this poem flows so naturally, and I felt the same… I should study probably…
But anyways. I’m glad to read this.
First of all if you don’t mind I would like to see your beautiful paintings❤️
And; I understand that “he” metaphor, I think we all have that, and sometimes that delusion can save us.
I love this so muchh
