I’m holding on to you,
My dear,
I’ll never let you go.
But what if space
Is what I need? I may be
Here, physically,
But my presence isn’t present.
I love you
Don’t you love me?
Yes, but I
Love myself more.

Ricardo
Ricochet
Into my heart
Crashing fatally
Against my ribcage.
Resuscitate me. Bring me to life, but
Don’t disrupt this fantasy
Of you and me.
Farewell to a Friend
I bid adieu
To the friend I once knew
With a swift “Adios!”
And a glamorous toast.
I’ll wave and say “ciao”
Without knowing how
To say our final goodbye
Without a good cry.
So let’s make this fast
Held with memories that last
And say our concluding farewell
Before my eyes begin to swell.
Gossip
Secrets shared
From misheard statements
Creating false beliefs
That spread
Like an illness
Crushing ecosystems
And organisms
Standing in its path
Hoping to create a barrier
To save society
But the illness grows
Overcomes
And swallows it whole.
Despise Me
I know now
That I’m the one to blame
For all of the misunderstandings
And creating a rift
That kept growing
Until it was so large
That both of us collapsed in its depths.
I know now
That my actions are irreparable
In your eyes
But that won’t stop me
From trying to say sorry
From trying to sew up the wounds
That are evident all over my body
And have yet to scar.
I know now
That it takes two people
To make a heart break
And also two people
To put the pieces back together.
I also know
That you will never forgive me
That you’ll go on with your life
And I’ll go on with mine
Wondering
Do you ever think of me?
Are you happy with the way your life turned out?
Are you happy without me?
For the simple reason
That you despise me so much
To the extent of withholding yourself
Of the apology you deserve.
