Desire X Melani: To My Unknown Lover: This Heart

2017 I fell in love. Never looked back It was all crystal clear I wrote to my anonymous lover once Or so I dreamt A serenade to win his heart But he was taken, he said I was heartbroken! Unromantic is what they called his kind But his touch, oh Lord His eyes, those deep lover’s eyes that caressed my skin Those eyes that undressed me, by but a look Those pools that made my heart bloom A forbidden tale he was And that beautiful smile, the jaw Lord, calm my soul I talked We talked Uninterested is what they called his kind He was a lover Bless my soul, but of too many I knew I had to stop But a philosopher said once... Our souls know each other and who they belong to Mine to his His to many That then was why I kept my heart to me But it yearns still for my unknown lover. I was past that I had learnt to live with this broken heart Because the glue to make intact this heart Is yet to be manufactured But he wrote to me today (14 February 2021) He said: “You fell in love with me You crushed on me From a distance Because you failed to show me That you were up for romance Sorry unknown lover You were all wrong about me I am not as romantic as you think Im a bad lover By not finding an inciting trick You were your heart’s saver Infact your ancestors are clever I am an unromantic player You were gonna spend your life in prayer Because everyday was gonna be heartbreaking Meeting strangers who romance with me everyday I don’t even know what love is As long as I see a girl, beautiful face Then my heart could say yes I fall for everyone with boobs Is that the man you need? Maybe you don’t mind Maybe you love this drama Maybe you needed to change me But I was afraid to tell you I love you Because I don’t know love I know you know I needed you This time, not in bed like I do for other girls But I needed you in my life Im sorry unknown lover You are too delicate for this You need someone who will love you honestly Someone who will take you out Someone to buy you roses on Valentine’s Someone with whom, your life, you can start I don’t think that’s me! I hide my destitution, I’m so poor I’m not Christian, of religion, I’m not sure I don’t reason, my conscience is not clear There is more I cant say But I don’t see myself being yours” My heart is in fractures It bleeds! This decaying dark red blood floors I hope it clots!
