POEMS WITH RUKENNY
You reopened a chapter,
In a book clothed in dusty brown coat,
Forgotten and abandoned,
Somewhere in my heart.
That book is my pain!
You remind me of a blast from the past.
It’s the story of what I am now,
And why you might never know how,
I became this sour,
Nursing an unending sore.
I’m drained of sweetness,
Left of nothing but sourness.
I love you too much,
To have tasted such.
I just can’t love you back
You are worth more than this black.
