Mistake love

Went to a poetry workshop with Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib today and he had us do erasure poems based off of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space.” I’ve never done one of these before but I think they’re pretty cool.
Mistake love
I know I’m dying
Grab my hand
I can make good forever

You can tell the pain loves you
I love you
We’re a nasty scar

Love’s blank lips kiss the King
Queen is screaming
You’ll come, darling nightmare, forever

The pain loves love
You love nasty
I’ll love torture
I didn’t love forever
It’s over
