On the DEATH of an ex-girlfriend, translated…
As He Was Rejected, He Was a Bit Flustered, the Good-Natured Woman
Suddenly Stopped Being, the Standardized Aloofness, a Week Later
She’d Extended Her Cold Hands for Him to Hold, the Palms Cold the Heart, Heated
Silence Doesn’t Mean Agreeance, Maybe, Belittling, Silence
There’s that Huge Laceration in the Depth of Darkness, the Cracks Split
Dividing Up the Twitching Faces without the Tears, Kept Tearing Apart
into Two, the Broken Hearts Already, Separated
No Longer Young Lovers, But Old Friends
The Beasts within, Pounced Outward in the Darkness, “It’s Here!”
She’d Told Him, and He Couldn’t Understand, Looked Around, Listened Closely
“Time Has Arrived”. She’d Said Quietly
He’d Pulled Out that Pocket Watch from the Pockets, Turned the Knobs Repeatedly
Still Kept at His Ways, Not Understand Why She’s Agitated
She’d Continued, “We’re Out of Time”, He’d Still Pretended that Nothing’s Wrong, with that Pressure Getting Heavy on the Inside, in Dreams
He’d Fought with the Beasts, Blocked Them, Stopped Them from Coming, Attempted, to Fight
in the End, He’d, Rolled Off the Bed, Gotten Back Up, Continued Being in Love with Himself, Tortured Himself Repeatedly Not Realizing that Fear’s, Turned into a Monster
After Being in Love for Many Years, Her Leaving Meant the Coming of the Beasts
The Angel in Armor, Raised that Red-Hot Blade, Stabbed into His Heart
He’s Destined to be Alone Forever———
Everything that Existed, the Deciphering, the Listening
Nodding, Acknowledging, Understanding, Smiling, Were Merely, an Extension
“The Beasts Have Been Here Already!”, She’d Told Him Weakly, the Voice Minimized in Volume, Still Lingering On, “It’s Gone Now.”
A Beast that Devours Time, After It Finishes, It’d, Turned Around and Left
Leaving the Lovers, Out of Time, He’d Finally Understood
and this, is what it looks like toward the end…not my photo
The Rules of the Game, Winning and Losing, Leaving and Staying
In the Very Last Moment Decided, His Place is? Nothing.
For a Once It Pair Who’d Relied on One Another Wholeheartedly, Those Secrets that’s Kept by Their Pasts, Never Disclosed
He’d Worn His Long Coat, Stood Far Off, Behind
All the Friends, Relatives, Best Friends, and Distant Relatives
With an Old Saying from London, “We’re Not Even Related as Our Fourth Cousins Once Removed”.
After Everybody Left, the Autumn Leaves Fell, Became a Huge Carpet
In the Sunset Ours, the Coldness Attacked, He’d Shivered, Turned Around, Looking Around
Became Paranoid, Everything is Dead, and the Beasts, Finally Came
The Beast & Man Became One, Gnashing Their Teeth & Growling Low, Lunged Toward that Emptiness
This is on the DEATH of an ex, and this man was “invited” to her funeral, with so many unresolved issues between them, things unsaid, etc., etc., etc., and in the end, he was still, attacked by that beast called “lost love”………
