secret

'the one everyone knows but doesn't talk about

I was loved the way you wanted to be loved.

Behind the words that made you write poems,

I know you know who I am or who wrote me songs.

But I won't show myself among the phantoms.

And I will keep knitting with my threads.

As if he never existed.

Because when he left,

he thought the past had never happened.

As if I never knew him.

Because turns out I didn't.

Leaving isn't part of poetry.

Poems aren't written for those who left.

But we'll meet again in another poem.

And you'll wish for me to heal.

A ghost's stab wound lasts as long as a butterfly's lifespan.

The line "won't show myself among the phantoms and will keep knitting with my threads.
