Spell

“I find myself reminiscing about you –
About your ways and your polished knowledge
On how to enchant people you wanted
To take a bow in your honour.

I try to reflect on our pleasant hours,
Forcing myself to find the common factor,
A lie or a simple pattern
That may help me understand my error.

For I thought we had something special,
And it has been hard to face the reality
That whatever spell you put on me
Would only last as long as you wished.

Today, my heart can finally see
You’ve been using the most powerful source there is,
In the shape of a word, to make a heart believe
Someone out there loves you by saying lovingly,
One’s name when casting the spell, deceptively…”

Ana.
