Adios Amiga

Adios Amiga

Words fly, old venoms begin to inject,
Then diffuse, in petty, small lies, accuse me
Of treason, cheating and posing with my
Deceitful smugness

She screams; blood pressure begins to ascend
Then plunges as wild-unsteady vertigo, enkindles her
With red-faced rage, a descent into madness
Accusing; wretched

I don’t need to tell you about this lovely
Insane girl I’ve long been an ardent man of:
We were hooked up in a gentler time with
A loving spirit

We began as lovers, poignant, enamored
Filled with passion, bursting with blind pride
Wrapped up in each other like Christmas presents
Lost in each other

Times have changed; we sleep in anger and dream
Of places far away in separate worlds
Of unfulfilled promises and secret desires
A painful nail bed

Tomorrow I leave; she’s impossible
To live with, to sleep with, to do anything with.
She needs a new beginning, so do I
Far away from her
