Drunken Vow
There are women who have said that they were in love with me when in fact they didnt really mean it, just as I have said I love you to women whom I didnt really love at all.
It is a brutal game of seduction, a witty ocean of words and a few disarming smiles and innocent glances that best conceal a terrible wave of desire.
I am almost turning twenty and I shall say goodbye to teenage life, oh, this terrible forest, and I shall, too, leave behind me the knowledge that once, when I was young, I was skilled in such a hideous game of touch and go.
Some evening when there is no rain and the moon and a thousand stars will keep vigil with me, I shall hold a special rite for the sake of affirming what I have just sworn to eschew before I face a new phase of my sickening life.
Then I shall no more insist to hear someone’s stories nor shall I dig hard to find secrets buried in deep inside untamed shells. I shall be once more rock that feels no pain, an island that never cries. I shall do poetry and I shall be the poet of my life. Once more I shall be worth my own humanity regardless of whoever tells me that my worth is mine alone.
A vicious story, life.
