Five Hearts Ago
Five hearts ago of lovers and sweethearts
Five hearts ago of promises and memories
We had something
Each of you in our own sentences
Each of you sang me a different melody
That heart it's own uniqueness
Five hearts ago of heartbreak and hurt
Five hearts ago of sadness and giving up
The road became rocky with each new day
The heart slowly eroded and withered
Its stems synchronized with death calls
Departures, short stays and passersby became the norm
Five hearts ago in the love boot camp
Five hearts ago in the penthouse of something like lust
The heart built a wall of its own
Bigger than the five hearts
Pumping blood further than the five hearts
Writing new chapters, per its language
Answering new assignments, on its orders
No more five hearts
Thank you five hearts
