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.

Karla Bardanza

‘Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish it’s source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.’
-Anais Nin-
