Some Things I Still Can't Tell You by Misha Collins

5.0

---

I'm not a big fan of modern poetry but I absolutely adored this collection. I think it takes a lot of courage for someone to open up and write poems so personal and let the world read it. I love Misha Collins but this was way more than I ever expected from him. He has me not only as a fan of his acting career but also a big fan of his poetry.

A little heads up: You are going to cry with this book. More than all with the first chapter.

This is one of my favorites by the way:

The clouds out the small window
And the sound of rain running down the glass,
Along with the fire,
Could add up to autumn coziness,
But in this nest, there is no you,
So all I see is damp and dark today.

And also this:

Last night, my knuckles nudged the screen to the right,
And a picture popped up.
Us side by side in Bali with parrots on our shoulders.
I teared up and stupidly texted it to you.
I wrote, “I will always feel this way about you.
I will never not love you.”
Retyping that now, tears again.

When I was learning to act
And needed to cry for a scene,
I would often imagine the unbearable emptiness
Of a life without you.
