Once I did, as fresh blossoms seek
The sun, drenched in morning dew
Pouring galaxies into spaces that never fill
Arranging those stars ever so carefully
Into patterns, fatelines, memories
Smudged into greys, blacks and reds
Oh I did love you, once
I loved you like scar splashed stories
On skins which wrinkle, but never pale
Here, right now, in today’s history
The world has come to an end
Tomorrow, the virus might have
Killed us all, or just you, or just me
But today these words
Put an end to me, to us.
I don’t love you anymore
because you see, what is commonly
Called love can hurt but can’t bruise
It doesn’t seek to burn and be ashes
It’s ice-creams in winter, flowers and laughter
Parties, texts, airports and kisses
What love is it if it stretches open
A ripped soul and lays it out to the skies
Be that as may that the fingers kept
Swiping right, drained, empty echoes
Of those that just wanted more,
More voids to fill, more emptiness to seek
More prayers to forget because
I don’t love you anymore
I once loved, not you, but her,
Untouched as she was by any other
Those dark-eyes seeking in me
Alcohol, airplanes, fames, fortunes
And beyond all of those, a need to belong
But all around her, her need to run
I caught in her eyes, a glimpse of our past
It’s simple, it’s sad, but it needs to be said
I loved you once and now
I don’t love you anymore
