Sold my cheapest thought to a man asking for “change”
Refunded and forgot,
The currency exchanged is blame
Wrote a message in a card for a smile
Drawers hiding pictures
A heart without file
If I could see from afar
I’d close my eyes in front of your stars
Hear you breathe
Inhale emotional sickness
I’ll set you free
In the company of clouds
Tears going out of business
I found myself looking down thinking about gravity
An Angel whispered “it doesn’t last long”
The sensible insanity
Strays from home
A winter running from spring’s ease
I’m still here,
Disputing all we were,
All we are
A closing statement reduced to a card
If only my watch forgot about time
But if you’re inclined
Bury the hatchets that we find
In the last field on the heal,
called “Valentine’s”.

An interesting write, very well done.
Melancholic ... but hope is not lost.
Love, Margherita
