Eternalized

I remember writing the first poem

Where you were the inspiration

The topic, the foundation

But the moment I wrote about you

There was no going back

I know when I'll read those pieces

Months or maybe years later

The feelings I felt then come back again

As if the poems kept them 

Like food in a refrigerator

But I guess that's poetry

Working as a translator

Turning struggles into art

In those moments I just didn't realize

When I immortalized you on paper

I unknowingly eternalized you in my heart

And I could rip those pages apart

But you will always stay in that place

In my soul with your own section

And despite my objection

I could never erase that connection
