I lie awake waiting,

As heels on cobblestone streets vibrate this European road,

Writing novels to capture every detail of this affair,

While I wonder if you will spare me a chapter.

I pour out dedications for every publication,

With the torment of your words,

My irresponsible poet.

Walking like a dream,

Behaving like a nightmare,

As long as in my slumber, I envision you.

Roses bloom in my iris,

Playing bondage with veins,

Never reading again.

Realizing that I have outgrown fiction,

Tears stream to stain parchment.

Time has run me dry,

Leaving a book without an ending.
