Joseph Pinto, the barflypoet

‘anakin’

train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. still i clench her tight within my palms. shimmer of stars lighting the cluster of my nerves and she shines straight through. tell me, how can i release her, how in this universe can i ever move on? black hole within a turning heart, she pulls me deep. deeper. every ounce of strength lightyears from anything i gave before yet our promise once lambent now alabaster. expect me to step into light when all i’ve wanted fractures? bring the other half to my whole only to cleave her free?

i hate you.

i hate you.

i hate you!

anakin

prophesied to be the chosen one who

would bring balance to the force; his

fear of loss proved to be his downfall.
