Review
I can't tell you why I love tragic poetry but it's just beautiful. As the name suggests it's a collection of poems arrnaged alphabetically by title. You can find Jon Lupin on instagram as the_poetrybandit. Here are some of the ones I loved in no particular order; for when you want to feel the beat of someone else's heart on paper.
BETTER
For her whole life people have been calling her weird,
but the truth is that her version of normal is just better than theirs.
FIRE
No one builds a fire like you do.
No one falls into it like I do.
SKY
Come,
find me on the other side of crazy,
where the sky is darker than normal,
and where the lost have come to die.
...
Well, it doesn't matter anyway
because I can wait.
You made ruin feel like a picnic.
and mine was no different.
When I met you,
it was like drinking from the fountain lost to tales only children had the courage to believe in anymore.
DIFFERENT
I went to the dark side of beautiful
and came back a different person.
SAINT
Weep not for the sinner,
but cry your trenches full for the saint who has no fear of himself.
KEEP
She is a keeper;
she's just not yours to keep.
KARMA
Karma must have been resting when we were kissing.
