Rome: Poems QUOTES

1 " Not sure what of this you did offer me
Never did amount to anything
So with this
I go "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

2 " I watch porn
Cause I'll never be in love "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

3 " Perverse obsessions
And it is only now
That I realize I am bleeding
Now no air now dead
And that it was your careful strike
That made it so "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

4 " With them, it is all horrible
Like anything could happen "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

5 " There are things you want to say but don't
There are things I want to say but I already said them
A year ago or two or five, when we first met
There were times I thought you knew I loved you
You never knew
We never were
I died
You died
That's it "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

6 " And that is what we do with a lover
And no you're not that
That you made sure "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

7 " To get rejected so vehemently
Over and over again
Until some said it was the rejection I was after
No it wasn't
I wanted the intensity that you sometimes promised "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

8 " They took the red string which bound me to you

They sank it in the center of the ocean "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

9 " Complainers

Some people don't want to die
Because you can't complain when you're dead
I hope heaven is just a bunch of men lying around
Ready to do what I say
Ready with dicks and some such
When I'm dead I won't be looking for a partner
As much as a heavenly creature
After all I was promised virgins
But I don't care about that as much
As the eyes looking into me in abandon
Like porn but better
Because there will be no screen
There will be no holy divider then
Between me and my brethren
And the smell of sunshine
Will emit from every brow
That's the kind of thing I expect from death
That's the kind of thing I'm waiting for "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

10 " But what if I don't like anything as much as I pretend to "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

11 " There was a lonely summer

Where I took the string and unraveled the magic circle from everything

It was because of you, and what you did to me "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

12 " There were things I wished I'd said
And done
But it is too late now
So I go
Heavy with my offering
This book, this book "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

13 " It is as if I had made you believe
In me once again
It is as if you knew I was your true love
It was as if I didn't have to know

In this life
All you were to me
Was that flower "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

14 " I put myself in
I mean for what, why,
Or who
Did I manage to do this for if not you "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

15 " You will realize you love me
But it will be too late

You will cry out for me
I will be long gone

This is not a wish
But what I knew to be so "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

16 " I never noticed anything but you
But you but you
So that I couldn't sleep "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

17 " I wrapped myself in leaden sheets
And sank deep into my own infernal ocean "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

18 " Because poetry reminds you
That there is no dignity
In living
You just muddle through and for what "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

19 " In the deepest part
I still loved him
Had gone with him
To the blazing star lodge "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems

20 " What is the dull river Lethe
I don't know, but I think it's evil
And when I drink of it I don't see stars
Instead I see the lime groves "

― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems
