“Do not fall in love
With people like me.
people like me
will love you so hard
that you turn into stone
into a statue where people
come to marvel at how long
it must have taken to carve
that faraway look into your eyes

Do not fall in love with people like me
we will take you to
museums and parks
and monuments
and kiss you in every beautiful
place so that you can
never go back to them
without tasting us
like blood in your mouth

Do not come any closer.
people like me
are bombs
when our time is up
we will splatter loss
all over your walls
in angry colors
that make you wish
your doorway never
learned our name

do not fall in love
with people like me.
with the lonely ones
we will forget our own names
if it means learning yours
we will make you think
hurricanes are gentle
that pain is a gift
you will get lost
in the desperation
in the longing for something
that is always reaching
but never able to hold

do not fall in love
with people like me.
we will destroy your
apartment
we will throw apologies at you
that shatter on the floor
and cut your feet

we will never learn
how to be soft

we will leave.
we always do.”

Do not fall in love with people like me.
people like me will love you so hard that you turn into stone
into a statue where people come to marvel at how long
it must have taken to carve that far away look into your eyes

Benim gibi insanlara aşık olma. Benim gibi insanlar seni çok sever ki; bu, seni inların uzaktan gözlerinin içine hayretle baktığı  taştan bir heykele dönüştürür.

Do not fall in love with people like me, 

we will take you to museums and parks and monuments
and kiss you in every beautiful place so that you can never go back to them
without tasting us like blood in your mouth 

Benim gibi insanlara aşık olma. Biz seni müzelere, parklara ve anıtlara götürür ve her güzel yerde öperiz, böylece sen; ağzındaki kan gibi, bizim tadımız olmadan oralara asla gidemezsin.

Do not come any closer 

people like me are bombs when our time is up
we will splatter loss all over your walls
in angry colors that make you wish
your doorway never learned our name 

Sakın yakınlaşma, benim gibi insanlar bombadır. Zamanı dolup patladıklarında, herşeyini kızgın renklerde duvarlara sıçratır ki;  adımızı asla öğrenemediğin çıkış kapılarında olmayı dilersin.

do not fall in love with people like me.
with the lonely ones we will forget our own names
if it means learning yours we will make you think
hurricanes are gentle  that pain is a gift
you will get lost in the desperation
in the longing for something that is always reaching
but never able to hold 

Benim gibi insanlara aşık olma.

Bizler, yalnız olanlara isimlerimizi unutacağız. Eğer bu senin isminin anlamını öğrenmek demekse, sana acının kasırgaların hafif kaldığı bir hediye  olduğunu düşündüreceğiz. Özlemle ulaşmayı bekleyeceğin bir şeyi asla tutamayacak ve çaresizlik içinde kaybolacaksın.

do not fall in love with people like me.
we will destroy your apartment
we will throw apologies at you
that shatter on the floor and cut your feet

we will never learn how to be soft

we will leave. we always do.”

Benim gibi insanlara asla aşık olma. Bizler evini yok edeceğiz. Ayaklarını kesip paramparça ettiğimiz için özür dileyeceğiz. Nasıl yumuşak olmamız gerektiğini asla öğrenemeyecek ve terk edeceğiz. Bunu hep yapıyoruz.....

Too heavy words. I hope s/he can understand how you are feeling now.... 

Thank you so much^^, but it is just a hanonym poem I found beautiful! Thank God and I wish I will never have to say or hear someone tell it to me . Those words, as you said, soo heavy yet what a beautiful declaration of love (or hate? )
