Spear

by Ed Lazadas

 

I adore you since day one,

An angel that captures me and keeps me confine.

I love the smell of yours,

your smile is the loveliest sight in this world.

 

Love will set you free, they say.

but why it feels a penitentiary to me?

Like a bird locked in a cage,

this feelings for you can’t fly and spread its wings.

 

A passion that bleeds my heart,

this love for you is a spear that I can’t block;

it just strikes at full tilt,

I did not notice ‘till it already pierces.

 

I have accepted the fact,

that our love will not blossom the way that I want;

because we are both a man,

and I knew that you want an Eve, not an Adam.
