——————> goodbye to love

I say goodbye to love

I'm closing myself off

completely...

so that no ray of light passes through my chest

I am tired,

of beginnings and new beginnings,

I'm tired of rebuilding myself

every time I let love in

I am tired,

of living on the fine line

of something that can heal me or destroy me

love is a beauty that hurts

I should have left earlier

Maybe then,

my body didn't carry so many bruises,

all love ends in pain

I'm tired of living

with the ghost of the one I loved

in an act of self-love

I protect my desire from what I desire

and so I will continue

living my last days here on earth
