Amante Perduto*
Melbourne. 2022.
I
O P E N E D myself
to
you.
My heart
full of pearls.
Precious,
but we all know about precious things,
everyone ends up robbing,
tainting them,
like my heart.
Broken oh,
broken so.
My words spoke the
honest truth.
You,
we,
clicked…
like two magnets.
The journey,
I grew
more
and more,
so much more,
falling
like Alice in wonderland
losing
my sense
of vulnerability.
I fell head first,
face planted on the ground
in love
with you…
Earthquake.
I thought only
of running.
You were leaving,
eventually.
The inevitable was going
to be in fruition,
it was going to happen,
so…
I ended it.
Picked up the phone,
rang
said goodbye
said it was the end
when really
I wanted
you
to fight for what I thought
was real;
The feelings-
transpiring.
Did you feel that
kick?
That whistle that it was
love?
I didn’t think so?
so I ran
far from you.
I miss you,
though.
Cupid you
fucked up.
two tangent lines
meant to meet
once,
never to cross
paths
again.
Fate
oh how I lost my
faith.
So much
in common.
My soul sang
with his presence.
we couldn’t spare
a glance
elsewhere
besides the beauty
set in front
of us.
The most beautiful thing
always inches from
my face,
lips,
arms length,
now my arms
aren’t long enough,
damn the distance.
A good heart
gone.
Open to another
oh dear what have I done?
I mourn.
