Splintered in Flames
DulceMaria Porcayo

Collecting mosaic of dreams that I thought we would one day fulfill, I lay on the floor
My soul bleeds along with the ghost you left behind
How could you selfishly leave someone behind to pick up the ashes
All those months ago, under the roof that burst in flames
I let myself believe I didn't see your daily disappearing
The unknown numbers that made you leave the dinner table
Indiscretions that I tolerated while you built another storyline elsewhere
Did I truly deserve it?
Being trapped in smoke air with no escape
Left behind like something worthless
Everyone talked about me, but didn't they always?
Was I blind all this time, or was I just pretending not to see everything?
All these years sharing everything as if we were one
Only now there's no trace of remorse on your face after what you've done
Everything became strange to you, as if decency wasn't in your dictionary when she arrived
Leaving me, a broken mess stuck in a maze
Filled with snakes and screaming rage
Pricked by your treacherous broken promises
You left me in the asylum with a tormented unforeseen recover
What were the chances of breathing clean air?
