harmless conversation
you called me angel
'cause of my childlike smile,
and the romantic era has sprouted.
 
our simple greetings
that went in daily doses
of pleasure, seduction,
and security.
 
it became a harmless conversation,
a young and uncensored upbringing,
trading good-nights and good-mornings.
to an egotistical entrepreneur
who owns a big box of toys.
 
leading you to ask me 
how my day was,
how my ankle works,
and tell some jokes that only we understood,
we talked 'bout my high tides and low tides;
we talked 'bout my plans and frustrations;
we talked 'bout my dirty secrets,
my anathema,
my trauma.
 
and your unspoken proposals
to subside my healthy chambers
spoiled me with love
i was afraid to lose.
 
then it goes into an abyss of expectations
deeper and deeper
till we learn each other's flaws and realize
that we're not meant for each other.
 
four was quite a number
to summarize the pain
in the spectrum of
harmless conversation
and dismal separation.
