LAMENTATION
by: Ma. Eloisa Navarro
Why should I lament
for a friendship
that has come to its autumn?
for a fad that can't keep pace
to ever changing seasons?
Why should I
shyly bury the spite
or kindle the vague remorse?
tearfully looked at my heavy heart
that was fooled by life's complexities.
Did we not
gaze at each other's eyes?
look at the same direction?
reach the zenith of this
far-flung imagined fancy?
I've always
wiped your scalding tears with care;
listened to your endless sighs
advised you when you're in doubt
and brought out your sweetest smile.
I realized
it hasn't been that long.
have to accept that it has to end;
it was too good to be true.
I got to face this ordeal
alone, as I've always been...
