Broken

Broken 

by Feb Francisca Chaves  

I never realized until now  
that care not only for my love,  
but also for the pain that turned me blue.  

No more apologies,  
for they cannot heal my scars.  
I do not know you now—goodbye.  
I have nothing more to give.  

I do not want your presence.  
If you come near, I will no longer  
stand by your side.  
That is why I have decided to let go.  

It is better for me to tear away the memories,  
to end the misery you caused.  
I regret our romance,  
but soon I will let it go and forget.  

This lesson i know was,
So much pain for someone so young.
Especially of what a person shouted to you from his tongue.
I'm glad that I'm free to him at last!

And I wish upon a star  
that you will find a love  
who will share in who you truly are—  
not just with me,  
but in a new direction for where the place were never us meant to be.
