Blue

I live on Regret Boulevard
I am full of rue and blue
There are a hundred roads I wish I had not taken
A thousand words I wish unsaid
A million silences I wish I had shattered
But loving you was a risk worth taking
I take that risk every day I leave my
Bloody glass heart in your quavering wet hands
And it’s worth it!
Loving you
Being loved by you
And if somehow, someway, someday, you drop it
You drop me
I will break
Into words
People will call them poetry
I will call it heartbreak
Still
No matter what the wreckage
Love will always be worth it.

My new book, “Birdsongs” is now available!

Thank you for reading!

My name is Jenim Dibie. I'm a poet and writer. I've written four poetry books so far - Scarcast, The Calligraphy of God, How To Dance In Time, and I just released my fourth book - Birdsongs. I started writing poetry at an early age, and it has been the sole passion of my existence. I’ve written over 500 poems since my childhood. I love writing, music, movies, reading, dancing, and The Office. I decided to start blogging to give the world a warm hug, just as words have embraced me all my life. I hope to one day live in a house by the sea, with 10 dogs, and write a 100 books. May you find color in my black.
