Simile

As empty as…the desert

As weak as…a little girl

Gathered together like…prisoners

As rough as…burlap

Trembling like…a first date

Praying like…a nun

Bouncing like…a ball

Smiling like…a clown

 

Metaphor

Heart of…gold

Mountains of…laundry

War is…a drug

The ocean is… a hole

The moon is… meditation

This house of… horrors

My love is…magic

Writing is…work

 

Trembling

With my eyes closed

Talking about what happened

Trying to put words together to not cause much harm,

My words gathered together like prisoners yearning for freedom

And I’m still trembling like a first date

 

He caresses my face and closes his eyes tightly

And brought his lips to mine.

I squinted

It was a bit like a big, wet kiss on the lips,

But I was sure that I don’t wanted to be kissed by him anymore

I felt nothing

I was empty as my silent face

 

Mountains of agony washed over me

I was trembling like a first date but it was the last one

He was trembling too and crying and trying to make me change my mind

But every single word from his mouth I didn’t want to hear

And I just left
