REQUIEM FOR YOU

I watch your slow death                                    



cuddling your lies, burying


you every single day as


time flies.






I appreciate the moment


without any regret, vomiting


your words without despair,


especially those that catapulted


me into air.






And your invisibility is so tender,


I have to admit, it is almost


a splendor.






I watch you agonizing


and it tastes like poison


burning my soul, killing


the moon, blinding the


night and the afternoon.






I opened my hands, I emptied


my pockets, I know, I know.


I saw with my closed eyes.






I am watching your death


as I will watch your defeat


and it will be so sweet, so


sweet.
