Be patient with me.

Be patient with how obsessed I am with that forever type of love. Because soon, I will learn to love you less. I promise I will learn to stop smiling for you when you don’t deserve it. Soon, I will allow you to extinguish my hope with your pessimisim. My passion will wind down and…

Let’s Not Be Us

If you weren’t you and I wasn’t me and we weren’t us, we would have had a conversation. This conversation would have taken place in a small cafe playing indie music. There is no one else there, and my coffee is cold, but that’s okay because I wasn’t there for the coffee anyway. If you…

Hopeless Romantic – Literally

“Why don’t you write about the happy things, the good moments, the deep late-night talks, the moments we cry of laughter, the beautiful songs we listen to together, the I love you’s we share, our honeymoon phase that never ended, how you fall asleep while talking to me, our first kiss that still gives you…

ይመስለኛል…

የሆነ ሰው ስሜት እና እውነታ የተለያዩ ናቸው ብሎ የነገረኝ ይመስለኛል፡፡ ግን ሁለቱም ተደበላልቀው መለየት ሲያቅትህ ምንድነው የሚደረገው? እኔንጃ…ዝም ብሎ መኖር ይመስለኛል፡፡ በርግጥ እንደምታውቀው እኔ ብዙ ነገር ይመስለኛል… አንዳንዴ በውድቅት ለሊት፤ ሰው ሁሉ በተኛበት ሰአት፤ አእምሮዬ ውስጥ ካሉት ድምጾች ውጪ ምንም በማይሰማበት ሰአት ሰላም ይሰማኛል፡፡ አንዳንዴ ደግሞ በሰዎች ሳቅና ጨዋታ ተከብቤ፤ ውስጤን ስርስር የሚያደርግ ሀዘን ይሰማኛል፡፡…

Forgive me for what I have sinned.

Forgive me once: You take my hand and swear you love me. Sometimes you don’t say it but I think I know. You open me up like a new book and read each page. You tell me to keep my head above the water, but how could I when you’re pushing me in it? You…

Take notes. 

Why do people find forgetting to be discomforting? If you ask me, I would tell you it’s the best thing that ever existed in the world. Forgetting the good will help you not miss it and forgetting the bad, oh well, you already know. But sometimes it’s good to remember. Remember the hurt. Remember the…

There is lying in writing

If you’ve seen my writings, I usually write in third person. Mostly because I want readers to be able to relate to the characters, which you might know have no names. I don’t name them because I want them to be whoever they can be, each ‘he’ and ‘she’ can be interpreted differently by each…

RE-Dead Perspective

How naive of me to think that I would feel no pain at the end of it all? I should know by now that caring leads to being hurt. I should have learned sooner that feelings have consequences too. But it’s okay. Looking at things from a different perspective, none of this matters much. Next…

ተምረሀል!

ከተለያየን በኋላ…ትቼህ ከሄድኩ በኋላ ምነው ምን ሆናችሁ ሲሉህ እኔን ጥፋተኛ አድርገኝ እሺ? እኔን ውቀሰኝ፡፡ መውደድም መወደድም አትችልበትም፤ ስትወደድ ትሸሻለች፤ ስትወድ አጉል ትቀርባለች፤ እንደመስታወት እንክብካቤ ትፈልጋለች፤ ልቧ ስስ ነው በላቸው፡፡ አልቃሻ ናት በትንሽ ትልቁ ታለቅሳለች፡፡ ሳቂታ ናት፤ በራሷ ቀልድ ትስቃለች፡፡ ስለሁሉም ነገር እኩል ትደሰታለች፤ እኩል ታዝናለች ብለህ ንገራቸው፡፡ የምትፈልገውን አታውቅም፤ እንደምትፈልገኝ ለማወቅ አመታት ወሰደባት፤ ያወቀች ቀን…

ቃል ግባልኝ!

ታውቃለህ …ቃልኪዳን፤ ተስፋ እና ህልም የሚሉት ቃላት ድሮ ጀምሮ ያሰለቹኛል፡፡ ‹‹ጎስቋላው አለም ለመንፈሱ መጽናኛ የፈጠራቸው ወጎች›› ናቸው ብዬም ተሳልቄ አውቃለሁ፡፡ ዛሬ ግን ፍቅር ውስጥ ነኝና፤ ፍቅር ደግሞ የማታምንበትን ነገር እንድትናገር እና እንድታምን ያደርጋልና እነሆ የማታከብረውን ቃል እንድትገባልኝ እጠይቅሀለሁ፡፡ ቃል ግባልኝ… አብረን ስንራመድ እጄን መያዝ መፈለግ ያቆምክ ቀን ልትተወኝ ቃል ግባልኝ! እኔን መዋሸት አለመጉዳት መስሎ የተሰማህ…
