“Quo non ascendam? (onde não chegarei eu?)
- Louis XIV, King of France”
Verbo, Os Grandes da História Luis XIV O Rei Sol

“One hundred years of solitude.

"There is always something left to love."

I think about wanting you back.
I think of not wanting you back.
And all the things in between.

Sometimes I miss you.
Sometimes I don't.

Like my weakness, I go back to remembering you all the time.
So I built myself an imaginary friend, wandered through all its dark shelves.

I made it home.

I brought genie out of its bottle.
I didn't want a wish because you are a dangerous thing to have.
I've been there before, and nothing came out of it.

I listened to music.
All those tears rushed back in.
I remembered the dream I had once.
I thought I had prayed it away.
Then I realized, "I only delayed it."

My vulnerabilities started coming in.

"Do I terrify?"

But no, even my imaginary friend leaves me.
And I realize that, "Hey, this is who I am."
I have to make the best of this.
I have to make your emptiness home.
I have to write you away.
Perhaps that'll bring the clarity.
And these last tears will be the last to fall for you”
J.Y. Frimpong
