I never wanted a love that is consuming,
I only wanted a love that is everlasting,
none that will put my heart to a test,
one that will prove true love is no jest.

They said it was normal,
Another said it was tragic,
Hearsays and whispers,
Filled with bad endings,
His trembling figure,
Her hopeless stance,
Yet everyone has a say,
In this private dance.

Lover over lover, countless kisses on cheeks,
One night stands, filled with ecstasy and bliss,
Yielding “I love yous”, like peppermint sprays,
Amorous love making, fulfilling lustful days,
Linking souls, like butterflies and wildfires,
Tainting and consuming, truly galling desires,
Yearning for warmth, in this love that expires.

She was in love, she thought he was not,
He was in love, he thought she was not,
None spoke as the distance begun,
For both are scared as the world spun.

I am not who you want
I am not who you seek,
Do not let me wait,
For a love that is bleak,
I know my eyes don’t sparkle,
Like the stars in the night,
Nor the spring of emotions,
That keeps your life a light.

You don’t need to look back,
My heart can still breathe,
Do not even dare peek,
If it will eventually bleed,
Fly to the sun, the moon, the stars,
Dare not wish for my weary arms,
Leave me as I am, broken in grief,
I promise, this pace, will be brief.

My love for you
can never be found,
in any book,
in any song,
nor in any poem,
It’ll be lost,
in the history of man,
in the lullabies at night,
in the words of poets,
And just like that,
I will wish none
But to see you smile.

In between these ropes I stand
The other, wound around my arm,
The other, strangling my heart
The Gods told me that I can keep one.
I stand and looked at each side,
The other smiling at another,
The other, at my arm,
They gave me the scissor,
And I cut one.
