valentines

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

today is the day 
that started it all
 when two years ago
 the dice were cast
   and I refused to play
so afraid of making a mistake
 that I forgot the purpose 
of the game itself
   fearing there would be no fun
   in being forced to play
that was the time
  when blue skies became 
 another name for pain
   when crystalline eyes 
  turned into knives
and cut wounds through 
  the invisible
 that was the day that changed it
   everything and nothing
 that made me lose so much
   by watching;
 unable to compete by unknown rules

wishing that someday
   the time would be right
incomplete...
  as every other thought
