Whenever someone
compares you to poetry,
be sure
you'll never
let them go.

If poetry is a way
of survival,
then
they'll never be able
to spend
any other day
without you.

This is the day you left me.
I smoked: once
twice
three times, maybe -

But the cigarettes
won't stop me
wondering
where you are.

You called me beautiful,
you called me attractive -
I didn't want you
to look at me
that way.

The only thing
I really wanted
was to be
enough
at least for you.

Dear Mother,
I promise
I'll spend
the rest of my days
protecting you
from the monsters
around you.

Dear Mother,
I promise
I'll take you
to the farthest place
you've ever known
in your entire life.

Dear Mother -
I am never
leaving you alone
in the clutches
of the Evil
anymore.

I would have loved to write love poems

but you left.

All happened in one day,
that **** day.
I was at that bookstore -
Quivering
while waiting for you.
My mind was suspended
for every thought I had.
I was quivering,
panicking -
You arrived.

And then,
every little thought
suddenly vanished.
