Read this poem and more in Rudy's fantastic book, Helium:
I did not give consent for you to touch my soul, sir. Touch it, you did however.
“I bet if we dusted her heart for finger prints we would only find yours” what a beautiful way to be able to express bitterness but not hate. People think the two always go hand in hand but that’s not necessarily true.
"loving you was the last thing i felt really good at"
what i love about these poems. Rudy in particular, is that they have millions of views but I know for a fact that it’s the same few thousand of people coming back again.
Man I hope this isnt about the girl who worked in the coffee shop
"there is nothing logical about cutting off the most important part of yourself and then putting them inside of hands that shake, that trembles, that crack like a Haitian sidewalk"
'Cupid is fucking irresponsible and I'm tired of him using me for target practice'..... that hit deep 😫
The 108 dislikes are from the new boyfriend
What a gift to be able to articulate human emotion so vividly.. I love Rudy.
"But the definition of love is being robed in an alley 8 times in a row and hoping there is something about today that makes all of this different!"
Whenever I am going through a writers block I come back to this video. Reminds me how powerful spoken word is. Will probably forever be my favourite
The first time I watched this, it was
He made me cry and laugh in the most vulnerable way possible.
"Love is clumsy and my heart refuses to wear a helmet." Oh my!!!!!
Ouch. 😢 Always speaking to the deep parts of my pain that lay hidden in drawer never to be found.. until you write them on paper and speak the words right through me.
it's been almost a year since you've left.
Rudy. Your words are beautiful.
his book is becoming my absolute favourite book of poetry. he is phenomenal. I wish he would do an audiobook so I can hear all this passion off the pages.
Damn.. It's breaks your heart a little bit.. And he makes you laugh at the very next moment! :( :D
