“The Last One”

By: Dona Claire D. Oposa

I started to admire you from a far

Drowning myself with my fantasies
You become the dream of me
Hoping that you and me would come into reality
But it never happened, it will never happened

I dreamt to be a Queen
Thinking that you could probably my king
Living in a castle just like in the fairytale
But our castle is sand, it never exist
And reality is no fairytale

The admiration turn into something heavy

I couldn’t carry it anymore so I divulged it to you
A massive emotion that even you wouldn’t dare to hitch
I bear its weight
I live with it for a while

He broke me, I bust myself

 The connection between us is in recess
I kneeled and cried in front of him
Begging him to stop the storm inside me
Hoping that he could put some rainbow in me

Those dark brown eyes affect me no more

Those grins wouldn’t melt me anymore
Your presence doesn’t matter at all
Thanks to him, he didn’t put rainbow in me
Instead he puts peace inside of me

I am no poet but I used to write one for you

I wrote a lot of you
This would be the last one for you
Our story has ended thou it never started
Thank you for the bittersweet experience.
