Milk and Honey

by Rupi Kaur

she was a rose in the hands of those who had no intention of keeping her

you are the faint line between faith and blindly waiting - letter to my future lover

i didn’t leave because i stopped loving you i left because the longer i stayed the less i loved myself

a thousand times, this.

i am a museum full of art but you had your eyes shut

👆🏻

losing you was the becoming of myself

👏🏻

of course i want to be successful but i don’t crave success for me i need to be successful to gain enough milk and honey to help those around me succeed
