About
I missed you when I never had you “A mind full of who I made you” But I lied, you are all I wanted- How I wished you saw what I did. But you’re not what I wanted. Truly, you’re not. A future unaligned with mine of divine design Dream...
I missed you when I never had you “A mind full of who I made you” But I lied, you are all I wanted- How I wished you saw what I did. But you’re not what I wanted. Truly, you’re not. A future unaligned with mine of divine design Dreaming of you Has become a pastime of mine No longer a desire To have our lives entwined You couldn’t love me right If you tried So I drink of the tea I made you As your cup still sits idle I reminisce our days of the summer And I find myself with a smile.
Rubeen Salem's Perspective
Artist's commentary
I made this to put to rest some of my emotions of inadequacy in the eyes of someone who’s eyes were elsewhere. I realized one may want to let go of unrequiting relationships, unsure of when to call it quits, if ever. At first, I wrote the poetry in the white as a way of letting go peacefully, and I called this Mind Full. I later accepted not only my feelings of sadness, but my feelings of rage. It’s important to be honest with ourselves and give our emotions their time.
