Patiently scraping for borrowed time, elusive time<\/p>\n
Fleeting happy moments out of the 365<\/p>\n
A Pariah, a social butterfly nonetheless<\/p>\n
Guilt, uncoursed, unparalleled<\/p>\n
Restless nights, cold and solitary<\/p>\n
Tear-stained pillows; impeccably clean and soap-scented sheets<\/p>\n
Love inadequacy; stirred from deep slumber but more flammable and waterproof<\/p>\n
A first person, but playing second to the magnificent One, the Loved One<\/p>\n
Delicately principled; wasted, forgotten, uncivilized<\/p>\n
Fiercely strong, custom-built; a jelly-kneed, spineless, yes-woman nowadays<\/p>\n
Shamelessly boastful; but nothing to show, proof-less<\/p>\n
Independent, mind-set; clingy and and reluctant to let go<\/p>\n
Immeasurable joy, for a minute, an hour, a day?<\/p>\n
Hopeful, anticipation, expectation, all in vain<\/p>\n
But courage, self-love<\/p>\n
Trying to accept the absence of her heart’s centerpiece,<\/p>\n
the hugs, the kisses, the intense feelings<\/p>\n
Dreading the looming emptiness, the dwindling intimacies,<\/p>\n
the things not meant for her<\/p>\n
Maybe…someday with still the presence of immeasurable Love,<\/p>\n
another bout of the same? Or of delicadeza?<\/p>\n
Heartbreaking realization, and heart-wrenching acceptance…<\/p>\n
the Second She, the Other She…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
