I’m sorry for being
delusional enough to think
that I meant something to you.

I’m sorry.

All I can do is remember
how real I thought you were.
In moments that have passed
me by, as you have.

Only to remain pessimistic.
Never to give cheer.

I fear her contact.
Though I want her near.

I still love her,
after her acts of cruelty.

I have to deprive her of my attention.
To let her realize on her own.

That I was good for her.
That I was good to her.

Depravity—
intended with each line.

She has left me—
with no given sign.

Thoughts that I would not have—
if having next to me my lover.

She has left my side.
With no sign to recover.

Nothing is worth the suffering.
The inflicted hurt.

Not even to witness them—
in a flattering skirt.

My efforts are over.
I have been used.

Manipulated and torn.
Needing my skin to be fused.

I hope you don’t leave me too far
behind while you are achieving.

Swept away was my seating.

After it all it is you
that I still am needing.

I will be here waiting—
for when she comes back.

That is said out of a feeling of hope.
That is not a bet.

She is not near me—
sending me into a long moment of fret.

I wait patiently,
hoping that she will not forget.

To hope that this is not inaction
that I will grow to regret.

It is her presence—
that I do lack.
