70 X 7 (Free Mind) Poem by Anita Khelawan

Can I be what you need?
Can I give you mental peace?
Can we be a blended family?
You, me and our beautiful baby

I love you more than I should
I would move mountains for you if I could
I am, on my own, Fire and Ice
With you, I am lukewarm striving for your like
The games we play, why the fools fall in love
When it is you, I always want

How can I unpaint a blank canvas?
How can I regain your trust?
I got to find a peace of mind
I got to figure out how to leave you behind

‘Do not take all my energy'
‘Do not trap me in your memory'
Do not tell me you ‘wuv' me
It's already hard as is to leave you be.
