Two Poems by by Sophia Kapkova ‘22

Life never stops. It spins you around like a carousel. When you get off The carousel never stops turning.

You get dizzy and want to get off, But when you do The bright colors of the carousel Are luring you.

With or without you The carousel never stops turning.

Your name is the strongest weapon. It shoots through my heart in a second, I lay there and bleed, Hopeful I’m what you need.

Not living –but existing. I’d do anything for you Even build myself up with glue.

One day you show me an ocean of love, The next it is all dried up. But a little love is better than none.

So I stay, hoping that I’ll be ‘the one’.

I hope that one day you wake up and see that all the glued pieces of me are falling apart. I’ll always hope I hold a small piece of your heart.
