AMANTE DE LA LUNA

I must confess your pretend games

and the web of lies you threaded around my heart,

don’t make a dent in my spirit now…

Somewhere in the silence

I banished the memories that kept my heart bonded

to the incessant laments of your suffering.

I shielded my heart,

I summoned my strength,

And lifted my spirit with the last ray of hope

that was born in my soul.

Our love wasn’t kind to my spirit.

It was more than any law allows.

The blame, born out of your prejudices,

Will forever be the force feeding my insecurities.

I still conserve the remaining of the broken smile,

I managed to manifest…

as I wished you well…

That might be the reason why you never knew

how hard the winter was in my heart.

I know too well,

it has never been easy for you to allow yourself to be,

So, I wouldn’t dare to ask…

What have you done with the smile I gifted you?

Have the flowers I planted inside your chest

refused to bloom?

Has your untamed heart refused to settle

to the unchanging routine of your days?

It has always been a waiting game.

There has never been a real answer,

Just the echoes of your fear,

Calling out my name…

And the silence…

farewells,

And a bittersweet tear slowly falling over my cheeks…
