The last kiss you stamped on my neck when we made love
Flooded my eyes with tears
And it made me lose a trace of even myself
since I was soaked in a storm of fear
When my lips got cracked.
Because the radiations that you emitted burnt my soul
With a sensation that was cosmic in kind,
I entirely felt it in my heart that knelt on its muscles
to plead for another day to stay in your chest
But you kicked me out saying our love couldn’t drive
any further since it was stagnant.
Your mind was blocked with departure to the one that was new
So you decided to leave me alone
In a circle with no one to share my thoughts with,
Since there is no point of intersection between me
and the rest that are still a part of my small world.
The last smooch was poisonous to life
because my eyelids fell to the ground
And I was left in soils having no channel
of joy to flow towards them.
