There is something that ceased to be

There is something that ceased to be,
a smile that I will never see again,
a second that was trapped
between the palms of your hands,
among so many promises
that were extinguished in vain...
Look at you, look at us... So close and yet so distant,
avoiding to save that last sigh
that kicks, drowning breathlessly,
tearing the sheets in a violent way,
we see ourselves there, watching the heart collapse.
And little by little that last heartbeat stops
that made us feel that we could rescue
something lost, but we let it all end.
Still with our eyes open and that last sigh
emanating, passing by the forehead the hand,
to finish closing that gaze,
this body was not recognized,
and since no one knew my name and surname
a label saying "unknown" was put on me
and when I opened my body it was already more than rotten.
There were traces of love with which the body was consumed.
was consumed with, the coroner only said....

• "There it goes... One more for oblivion..."
