All my sonnets were about you (but then I stopped writing)

I cared the way Patroclus saved Achille in despair.

How every burning words,
Were digging in my soul begging for a place in hearth
How now only you could have made it this far.

In the poet's home
There was none but the muses,
It was empty without you.

So I wrote every poems,
Placed them down the walls
It was pretty, I felt alone.
I read them then understood

Now I wanna scream,
«it's you, it's you, all of it, it's all for you !»
I wanna scream it with a paper and a pen.
Until someone stares at the page and gently says,
« Oh darling, it is too real to be true »

All my poems were about you,
But then I stopped writing.
Does the ink was my blood
Or my heart hated beating ?

December had sweet nights,
I still carry the weight of those.
You were in dreams, so kind, glowing,
On midday sky, I still recall

(It was your voice, I picture you)

«Sometimes I crave to be loved»
I painted that with poetry.
It was some simple words,
They meant the world to me.

But now your waiting by the sky
As I water every poems
(in case they turned into flowers,
I need some memories bouquet)

And I will leave the poet's house
At the end of summer.
Slowly regrow a part of youth
I'll learn to ask,
                         carefully.

«When you see the stars Héloïse,
Do you still, think about me ?»
