No One Gets It
A sestina about the rollercoaster of love
No one gets it like art
No one lives it like love
I sit there laying on the top of the water
My eyes closed, all is dark
I’m surrounded by the killing silence
Waiting for my body to sink.
Blink, I try to blink but again, all is dark
Is this supposed to be love?
I fight to breathe, against the waves of the water
I fight to survive against this silence
I remember your eyes, better than art
But still, I wait for my body to sink.
The angels became demons in the dark
The soft violet sunk in the silence
Oh how you were my beautiful art
How would you know reality when mind and body sink?
Time passes slowly when you try to know love
Now my body is floating on water.
Colder, the nights became colder in the dark
And now I am morning for my love
He used to catch my attention with his best art
Now he speaks like silence
Now it’s all gone, and I sink
Just like my tears mixed with the water.
Lover, I thought you were my lover, my art
But you left me in the deepest dark
You introduced me to music, then threw me in silence
Looking for the sunny side of love
You showed me the roar of seas then left my ship to sink
And left me fighting against heavy waves of tears, of water.
Matter, it doesn’t matter anymore, love
I’m drowning in the red water
I’m not fighting against the dark
I know now a new form of art
A melancholy silence
I will just let my body sink.
