after separation
she never had a good night
of sleep
often at three am
she stayed up
and thought of how
they exchanged their affirmatives
their okays
like gus and hazel in
the fault in our stars
how she had told him
it wasn't original
and they could say siempre instead
because siempre meant always
and he had pledged
to always stay by her side
to always say goodnight
to always be with her at her worst
but now the word always meant nothing but pain.
he was the son of zeus
who thundered through her demons
struck them with lightning
and stole her heart.
he was the son of zeus
who had forgotten to let the sky rain
to wash away the pain.
he was like a tornado,
so beautiful,
but so dangerous.
and she was the stupid lamb
who ran right for the lion
without any hesitation.
now at four am,
there was no one staying by her side
because everyone had left
there was no one telling her goodnight
because now it was dawn
there was no one with her at her worst
because
siempre
was nonexistent.
because.
