Another Badalona Girl


I don't want to be stuck on you

I don't want to be thinking about you every day
Wondering about your happiness
Your state of mind, what you’re feeling
I don't want to be distracted, diverged, deluded or deceived
I can no longer trust being enchanted to the point of vulnerable
I know I am
Thin skinned
Naive
All the flattery of the potential fool
Who wants romance to be a good thing
Not a joke waiting for a punch line
That reveals a poorly thought out plan
Why should I care how you eat popcorn?
What value is it pretending to watch you pass the foot of the bed 
with me thinking an angel was present?
Why is the heart such a callous task master?
Or is it heart at all?
Dare I embrace, a benevolent God who gracefully sends help
In my letting go misconstrued ideals
About worthy
About deserving
About anything I've chosen to claim as 'real'?
Once more I am taught the subtle character of nature
Change is slight
A soft whisper
An inevitable, unmistakable invite
As my senses trigger klaxon
It is not danger whose alarm is sounding
But attention to be care full.
So for you, these prose...these butterflies of words
Gently, colorfully, delicately
Paint a gratitude to heaven's messenger
For your visits

And here you thought you were just another Badalona girl.
