PRACTICAL ADVICE

Close your eyes

Fast forward

All the stolen kisses

All the times you missed him

All that you could have

written on a piece of paper

His warm body

That you’ll never hold again

For you have never actually

done it.

Take the bottle of brandy

The one you drowned all your dreams in

Early,

In the foggy mornings,

With no sorrows

But with a little bit of forgetfulness

That you can use next summer,

Under the Sun,

When your retina

And your soul have no more stains

You must keep quiet!

You must definitely be quiet!

Truths cannot be uttered!

Cause silence is necessary

so no one can hear

how Love is killed.

  1. Poignant. Nice lines, Rita. I like this one just like it is.
