Poetry survives as long as we believe the magic of words. I don&#39;t. Not anymore. I had someone wishing to forget things I&#39;ve said. I didn&#39;t say anything that wasn&#39;t love. It got me confused. It caused me to actually lose a language, it caused me to hate those things I said, to look at them and feel disgusted. Love words. I can&#39;t live with hate. Still I wanted to make him something really special: 100 poems. A gift. But halfway to the end, I realized they wouldn&#39;t change anything, would they? Again poems are made of words, mine come with a history on hatred. It&#39;s nobody&#39;s fault I fall in love with impossible guys. But I lost my second language. From now on I&#39;m keeping my thoughts to myself. They are safe inside me, no one will ever hate them there, they won&#39;t hurt anyone or make anybody uncomfortable, either.&lt;/div&gt;
