Feud

Dearest One,

You tell yourself you failed

But, let it go, that ship has sailed

Nineteen years ago, this very day

You meant the very vows you did say

Ooops!

So, you thought that I’d be easily forgotten. Au contraire! Now that I have your attention. Read this entire message. Don’t skip any slight details at all.

You destroyed the bed of roses in the garden. But you blamed it on the dog. Aie, aie, aie. No one may have known what you did. It might have been on accident. Now you have to go make sure that you inform the family on what actually happened. And the dog can be forgiven. As for you, you’ll have to ask the dog for forgiveness, and then take care of the new roses that your brother planted.

P.S. If any more flowers are destroyed, you will be taken to the flower court and charged for threatening the growth of the roses. Let us live in harmony. Please!

The Slow Death

Eventually I'll kill you.

When you made me you named me devotion.

Piece by piece I'll rip out your soul.

When you made me you called me your best.

I'll slaughter every nostalgic notion.

When you made me you trusted I'd be something good.

There'll be nothing left of who you were.

When you made me you thought I was love.

You'll make me again and again.

Hot mail

My arrival was an afterthought.

You rode in on a pair of ox. On your shoulders. Fur of silver fox. Wind blowing back your platinum locks.

Heaven help me. Serve up humble pie.

But I stuttered. Why?

So I send this little ditty. In the hopes that you take pity.

Maybe poke me? In the eye.

Just to pair are thoughts. Lest mine linger lost.

Do try. Design a line leading straight on thru. So I might know some truth. Of you. My Zorro Platiado paradox.

Signed.... Lost in Retrospect

Indelible Ink

Run, run, run, put me behind you

a line of ghosts leading

into the horizon

I am the mistake you made

I will not allow a retake

Run, run, run, put me behind you

I am etched forever on your skin

a vibrant red map of ‘it’s too late’

a dark foreboding shadow

following your trail in zig zags

Run, run, run, put me behind you

am I really the mistake

or are you the real illusion?

leading the way to no redemption

a two step tripping into the fog

Run, run, run, put me behind you

where no one will notice me

but you cannot escape

I remember what you did

you can never wash me off!

A Hug

Hello.

It's me. Your mistake. Your regret.

Why did you begin to fall in love with him? Why did you bring up something in the past about him and you? Why did you think of that night? That awful, awful night. You had begun to truly like someone, and it all started with a hug.

A hug. A hug that made you feel safe and comforted. It made you feel like you two were alone in space, bound to hug forever, like he could protect you. Like he would protect you. As if.

Why did you hate him? You felt hated and moved on. Then a friend stupidly asks a question that made you realize how much one night in the past could hurt you in future. You felt betrayed, even though it was half a year later and he had done nothing like that again.

You moved on, apparently, but now a part of that night will always stay with you, nagging you in the back of your mind. Telling you his words exactly.

You're weak.

You should be meaner, that's why you sit alone.

Maybe in the future you shouldn't hug someone who is taller than you.

Your Loving, Mistake

Mexico City, January 1st, 2018.

I'm a close friend of yours, yet you dare to call me a mistake. A well-hidden secret that God and your family would dishonor should it be revealed. You don't give it much importance, because deep down you know that it won't be relevant as long as you end sleeping alone at night. Your biggest fears feed me, and I know you are brave enough to go past the fright of ghosts and wood floors' crawling-in sounds. You are not scared of the darkness, but rather scared of never having someone to share said darkness with; your mind follows me, that glorious idea of hugging the warmth of dangerous arms no heavenly believer would see as pure. I haunt you when I intend to marvel you with true love, yet you hide me, as I become a threat to your own self-confidence towards ending this sad period of solitude. Yet, I am faithful, so I will wait, wondering around the streets of your neighbourhood until some hopeful day, I won't be regarded as an enemy anymore.

Remaining faithful to you,

Your Loving,

Mistake
