A Lighter Fast

You wish Me a lighter fasting

Not knowing I’m fasting on You

If I didn’t miss You, I’d just drink water through

You left Me two chestnuts alone

And I’ve let You go, left You behind

Two chestnuts, that’s all

Yet I almost believed, almost chose You, so small

And if You stay, You’ll wait with such grace

Could I ask You for that? Patience fades in this chase

I wish it were a different time, yet in Love, there’s a drought

While in Me there’s satiety, but it’s hollowed out

My Ego’s grown wild

Expanding with each exchange

How would I respect You?

My Mind feels deranged

So I study, I work

Read a book, make a buy

Then I sell, close a deal

Count the coins, scrawl a line

Transfers, appointments

I run, feeling numb

And pride swells within when the night shadows come

I wink at the mirror

Whisper meafar bati

And pride swells again as deals close, all it with that ease

And by candlelight, on the table, lie two chestnuts still

You work, and I study, We forget, lose the thrill

Yet the thought comes at times, that this Love might have died

But I hear word Djokovic and reason collides
