Stuck in Reverse!

I could kiss the stars

For shining so bright!

Was my mantra…

Once upon a time!

Emptiness now sits heavy in my heart.

In this quarantine of misery,

The resonating silence

Makes me want to scream!

You restored me from cynicism

With a smile:

Now I'm hanging between uncertainty...

... en a broken heart

'No measure of time is long enough

To let our hearts tango:

Let's start with forever,'

You used to say!

I made memories with you every day,

In that; our fairytale

Now taking them off the mantle....

E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y!

I have a damn good reason

To worship the Tequila gods:

The thrill of its harsh taste

Cleanses the tears. Respite!

When I look on the inside

I throw words at each other

Hoping they would make sense of my turmoil

But I'm just numb!

My feelings are in plain sight,

You just have to know where to look!

I’m stuck in reverse

Craving for a new verse!
