Poema escolhido:

neither of us is happy

but neither of us want to leave

so we keep braking one another

and calling it love

(Rupi Kaur)

Intertexto:

Ao ler milk and honey me deparei com esse poema, que retrata uma historia amorosa, onde um casal que por algum motivo, não consegue se separar e ficam freando um ao outro. Lendo o poema fiz um intertexto com a canção da cantora e compositora Lauryn Hill ‘’ex factor’’ que exprime o que Rupi Kaur nos traz. A musica fala de um casal que insiste em ficar juntos, mesmo sabendo que não dão certo. Como diz neste trecho da musica: ‘’ No matter how I think we grow, You always seem to let me know, It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (no, it ain't workin')’’

Ex factor (Lauryn Hill)

It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way?
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (no, it ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy (this is crazy, uh-huh!)

I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself?
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we've got to do
You let go, and I'll let go too
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (it ain't workin'!)
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy

Care for me, care for me!
I know you care for me!

There for me, there for me!
Said you'd be there for me!

Cry for me, cry for me!
You said you'd die for me!

Give to me, give to me!
Why won't you live for me?!

Com isso, escrevi um poema.

Distantes

Existe algo maior entre a gente além da vontade de querer ficar juntos. Eu acho que a gente precisa falar sobre, ou então, deixar isso de lado e ver se, quem sabe o tempo possa nos ajudar.

É que tanto você quanto eu sabemos que a gente não pode ficar juntos. Não agora pelo menos. É um negócio meio estranho porque sabemos que há vontade, mas sabemos também que existem outras coisas que influenciam nessa nossa decisão. Se fosse só por querer, a gente já tinha resolvido.
