I grew up in a very abusive household and was sexually abused. My first love was from 8th grade to sophomore year. I broke up with him because he was just “too nice”. I didn’t know how to accept his kindness and cherish it. This boy sent me bedtime stories every night for years knowing what I was going through. He never asked one thing from me. He was my best friend. I’m thankful I was able to experience him when I did even though his love felt foreign and uncomfortable- I needed it.
I’m very glad you had him and I’m so sorry for what happened to you - you didn’t deserve it.
Sending warm hugs and love to you :)
Try listening to another poem of Sarah Kay titled "THE TYPE"
Makes me think of a relationship (or rather, multiple with one person) that I had. She also grew up in an abusive household and was abused sexually and taken advantage of. She was the love of my life and I gave my all making sure that girl was safe, happy, and I was doing my best for her. Over several years, my feelings never changed for her but I think something along the same lines as you talk about got in the way. Our first breakup had to do with her feeling like too much of a burden and not wanting to hold me back. Later on, we got back together. Down the road, she gets all wishy washy and her feelings change along with her once again mentioning how she doesnt want to get in the way of my schooling. She ends up jumping into a relationship with one of my friends. We reconnect a while later, things are great until similar stuff happens and she jumps from our relationship into one with a coworker she recently met. I carry around a lot of pain from all of that. It hurts beyond what words can describe, the stuff she did and ended up saying to me after all the amazing memories and good times. But I also realize how much trauma and childhood experiences will mess up your brain. She says she's looking for someone she can build up trust with, she's searching for "the one" and not looking to just settle. I hope she's found it, or that she at least finds peace within herself one day. I'll always be thankful for the times we shared, even if we never meet again.
🥺😍
Do you already have someone? If you don’t… find him and ask how he is… there’s a chance he could be thinking of you.
I never wanted this poem to end. Her words sound like silk. She is an amazing poet.
And me too.
That Other Woman will forever wonder why her man's eyes never lit up ...

"We didn't grow up. We grew in."
That line hit me. Another awesome piece :)
+Revolution Hive im sorry but could you please explain this clause? I am very grateful ^^
+Nguyễn Thanh Sure. But first. What do you think it means? :) Even if you were to guess
:D I think it means we werent taller, bigger, but we develop our inner emotion, our awareness ^^
oh, it got me too!!!
hive repect
this was really wholesome. "we spell 'love' G-I-V-E."
"sanding down the edges of our jigsaw parts that used to only fit each other"
This is my favorite line.
Sarah Elizabeth almost made me cry a little
What does it mean? That they don't love each other anymore?
Bridget yes bc the guy have another woman
That's my favourite line
I could listen to her voice all day, it's so beautiful
"And the years spread us like dandelion seeds, sending down the edges of our jigsaw parts, that used to only fit each other"
This hit me so hard. The poetry itself speaks for my first love. He never saw me naked physically, but, he saw the whole me, through my dreams and passions, he saw my naked soul. 3 years have passed long enough for him to forget me, but for me. He'll always be.
I'll bet he still remembers
She's saying that sex with your private parts is not what constitutes intimate love. She's saying that intimate love is giving the private parts of your life to another. She's saying she regrets not knowing this as a kid since she'll never have those parts of her life since they left. She's letting us know that our ancestors got it wrong when they told us to guard our private parts when in fact it was the details of our hearts we should be more careful with. Intimate love is giving the details of your heart so give it wisely.
WhiteStone beautifully said
Thsi couldn’t be more true
Oh no, you’ve got that wrong. She’s saying you don’t need to have sex to feel real love, and she’s right. I think you’re making the story self convenient.
@@crispinswainstonharrison9042 Are you stupid? that's literally what WhiteStone said...
Greg Horsky there’s a subtle yet important difference. Did you go to school?
"Reaching for things I have long since given up"
This line hit me hard!
I didn't get this line, Will you please explain???
@@shaziyasheikh1137 She gave her hands and knees to the person she loved, thus she couldn't feel them as her own anymore. When she touched them she always remembered the other person.
@@CellGames2006thank you
I love this because whilst she is talking about her literal private parts she is also talking about her mind and thoughts as her private parts. This is because when people know your inner thoughts they know your private parts as these are some of the most intimate and private things about yourself.
Her voice is so gentle, as is the way she moves her hands while she talks. It's very peaceful 😌
oh god when she speaks ...❤ honey drops into my ears its such a beautiful experience 💕
Same 😍 it sounds so peaceful.. 💕💕
Her voice is so soothing
😛 You're a pink potatoe 😄
Sam B I know right! She's like the female version of Markiplier!
This is truly the most real and non sexual expression of erotic love that I have ever witnessed. She knows how to reveal her heart without turning herself into an object or degrading the beauty of sex. Truly human, therefore truly beautiful.
Argenis Peralta it's not about erotic love, you dimwit. Did you even listen to the poem? 😂
Argenis Peralta w
I have now listened to this poem four times today, and it took me until the last time to really hear how heartbreaking her story is. So eloquently written and performed.
There wasn’t even anything erotic about it wtf
Argenis Peralta I could say the same.
Sarah Kay has such a pleasent voice, i could listen to her talk 24/7. Very beautiful poem :)
LightCloud ❤
I don't like slam poetry. It too often feels like they're trying to punch me with words. Like I have to listen, not like they were asking me to. Sarah Kay is different. She asks if you wanna listen, and smiles if you do, and smiles if you don't. She's kind with her words. I like that.
Stefan Massyn Ironically, this comment sounds like a poem I want to hear. You have a way with words as well.
@@Hannah-en7wv It's lovely
this is how love should be.
"We held each piece we were given like a nectarine." So beautiful.
Awesome simply awesome
I love the flow of her words, the deep meaning of the way she smoothly recited every syllable. I love Sarah Kay and her poetic soul
English is not my first language, but here I am feeling deeply connected to her words. the meaning seems simple and at everyone's reach, though we all have different interpretations. I felt like she never gave her body fully to her first love, and still she has the strongest bond with him, so that when she thinks of him she reaches the parts that stopped being private in the years. even though you open your body to someone it doesn't mean you can replicate an old empathy.
I might be wrong, but it's late, I'm lonely and I feel this way.
"I did not know it was possible to save something for myself"
This is a beautiful interpretation
love this
Now I'm crying even more.
I don't know what it is in your words, but it made me cry. You have a beautiful way of thinking.
I'm discovering this poem for the first time today and after listening four times, I finally found my interpretation of this poem to be extremely similar to yours. Her eloquent storytelling and performance distracted me the first two times from hearing how deep this heartbreak is.
her voice makes me feel at home.
ok i LOVE her voice
I absolutely love Sarah Kay's poems, for some weird reason every time I watch her perform I can't help by the way she speaks and her expressions that she would be such a fun teacher for young kids like kindergarten or first grade.
Hi baby Am Ben easygoing person I like good and do good I like friends that have understanding and fun to be with I love arts, museum and music l lunch luxury every Eve I compose poem and scripts I need a woman who understands What love is all about, to be my own I saw your picture and I am impressed you're beautiful and baby you shines like a diamond springs In Sky nicely like flowers in the garden of Eden's I close my eyes all I is you at first sight I felt the energy of Sun rays angel'wings written love on it I love you so much baby I want a wonderful woman will love me and know who I am and be mine forever i hope You will reply soonest thanks.
beautiful and deep. her voice is gorgeous
we were taught to save our physical but never taught to save our mental virginity.. sad but very true.
🙏
Mental virginity.......wow...?!
Mental virginity? What does that even mean haha?
One of my absolutely favourite Sarah Kay poems, intimacy with innocence and eloquence. I've memorised this poem and made all my friends listen to it hahaha
I wanna memorise it too 😍
If anyone was meant to be poet, it is Sarah Kay. I could listen to her work all day.
"He never asked for more." That's such a gift; she was lucky.
Of all the amazing poets that RUclips has helped show me, Sarah Kay has got to be the one I hold in the highest regard. I've never heard a weak poem by her. She has no niche. Everything she writes about she writes amazingly. Unbelievable.
HER VOICE IS SO GENTLE BUT SO POWERFUL AND GAHHH
i can't help but hold my breath when i listen to sarah kay. i dont want to miss a word because it is all absolute treasure
She's like the older sister I always wanted. Forever inspiring :)
I read all of Sarah's poetry books. She inspires me to overcome my Autism and my suicidal thoughts to win a Oscar. Love you forever Sarah from Jerusalem Israel.
Sarah has expressed the fulfillment of knowing and trusting another person with her soul. Very touching.
"Breathing his exhale into my inhale and back"
Damn! You kill it with the words
this poem made me cry. I always watch the poems of Sarah Kay, but today, after watching it for a few times in the past, I cried buckets. I dont know, I just felt so sad and lonely for her. I dont know if Im just imagining it but it's as if she wants to cry while doing the poem. :'(
Her voice. It's so beautiful. Her poems are perfectly put together. And together; her voice and her poems are extraordinary💖👏🏼
this is the first poem i've heard from her. i love it soooo much + she's so pretty and i love her voice
Her voice is so calming. Could listen to her forever.
I find myself holding my breath when I listen to her poetry, so beautiful. agreeing with everyone, her voice is soothing. I can listen to her poems over and over, each time I learn somthing new.
she is one hell of a poet
"We could've survived under water or outer space" ♥ This line was enough for me to hit like and replay this video over and over again :')
Damn she got an amazing voice as well.
I LOVE her style. It's graceful with beautiful imagery, indicating vulnerability without being all "woe is me."
Her beautiful voice can take you away on a cloud of visualisation. Flawless.
Sarah Kay is legendary and wondrous forever.
Such an exceptional woman. Everything she says is art.
"we spelled love, G-I-V-E" wowowowowowowowow

Wow I could listen to her voice all day it's so beautiful
Her voice is so calming...

Her voice is magical.
Her voice is amazing and her gestures and movements flow so well
When a poem manages to bring tears to your eyes, thats how you know it's a great poem, sarah kay you have a brilliant voice with which you speak beautiful words
Her words and her voice is so mesmerizing.
This is simultaneously the most happy, beautiful and sad and haunting poem I have yet to hear.
Fresh takes in old poems are always awesome to watch. To see what emphasis changes and to puzzle out why is definitely one of my favorite passtimes.
She is much more positive than most of the poets I've found so far.... Love her voice, learn from her words!
I never noticed until watching a couple of these videos how much she and Phil Kaye mirror each other in their speech cadences. 😍
Her voice is like silk! She’s an amazing poet
Just woooooow!!!! She is amazing, her words are brilliantly thought out. I could listen to her forever.
i love how sarah delivers her poems
I always come back to this poem. It has a lot of twin flame energy.
These words felt like a soft conversation between the person I was and the person I am
this is the most touching poem ive ever heard! she did an amazing job
Her voice is so calm and soothing...
Sarah Kay is amazing! Her words sink in me and stay there.
her voice is so soothing and beautiful. such an talented writer and speaker. thank you for sharing this.
Wow she put into words the feelings I have had for my first love and only real love..her words were a rush to my brain...i remember her breath her edges wanting more but we agreed to wait..someone came along and she got pregnant I've been devastated..its been 50yrs since last we spoke a virtual life time but I can wait till the end if necessary
.
i love her voice so much, its so beautiful

Amazing. Made me cry. And then smile. Thank you for sharing it.
The most beautiful live poetry I ever heard. 4 years. Where have I been?
Thank you Coronavirus for giving me a break from the Rat Race.
You left me speechless and reeling with the way you revealed yourself. Deeply thoughtful!!😊
Her cadence is captivating foreal
I'm imagining her doing a poem with Clementine Von Radics and smiling. Soothing voices.
she was made for poetry. everything she writes is beautiful and so perfectly described
she was seriously made for poetry, her words are so smooth and her voice is wonderful... i think im in love
No poem has spoken to me at this intimate level. The fact that she has put what I have long felt as well has made this my top favorite. x
YAAAS GIRL! I havent even watched it yet but i know its going to be good
I love Sarah Kay! She was a guest poet in my Creative Writing Class at Rowan University and she was phenomenal! ❤️❤️❤️

'we didn't grow up we grew in'....so so very true!!:')
That was amazing! Blown away by the honesty. How can you be that honest being aware that your mate, or potential mate will see this someday? Wow
The more of this lady's work I hear, the more I like her and want to hear more.
The most fav piece of mine is this... i've listened to so mny... bt this one literally pierced my heart...
