AMANTE DE LA LUNA

I waved goodbye,

as tears poured my sadness,

and relief flooded my fragile bones…

Your memories

can’t hurt me anymore,

I have shielded myself

with the kindness you denied me.

Everywhere I looked

for the answers you held captive,

I could only find that my errors accounted

to loving you, with the strength of goddesses.

Maybe that is why it hurts,

when I look back into the path

we weaved with our hands.

I beg you,

don’t call my name,

allow me to savor

the sweet nectar,

of not knowing about you,

of creating a world

where the memories of you

can’t carve spaces into my heart.

Allow my fragility to build walls

around my exhausted soul,

so your hands can’t reach

the part of me

that boils with love…

for you…

that love you left unguarded

when you sailed the seas

of untamed passions.

I waved goodbye,

while swallowing my love and fears,

as you sailed free from my port,

and I…

I forgave myself for loving you…
