Falsely Yours

I remember when I read this poem for the first time, it blowed my mind in a certain way I hadn’t attained to comprehend at the moment, However, I finally realized its great depth and audacity in all its splendor by reading it over and over again. This poem by Charles Bukowsky has become one of my favorites ones, because It makes me understand how to be evaded by true love in a boldly and wildly way that every word may seem aggressive but it’s a symbolism about an audacious love. Love doesn’t kill you but a true love makes you vulnerable if the right person comes to you some day. I will share with you:

“My Dear,

Find what you love and let it kill you.

Let it drain you of your all.

Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down

into eventual nothingness.

Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.

For all things will kill you,

both slowly and fastly,

but it's much better to be killed by a lover.
