Twelfth of July
Written by Marielle Iarathelle Trinidad
I’ve promised the stars
I’ll fix my scars.
But let me write my word,
To you who came on twelfth of July
The only one who brightened my sky.
For you who I loved the first
I’ve dedicated you my heart
My words and my tears
Started setting aside my fears.
I’ll start with how much I loved
Every single piece and thing
From the exceptional and screwed
The amusing and annoying
I loved how your eyes shone
Your arms always felt like home
From your smile down through you
I think I’ll just love everything you do
Incessantly, I’ll just look at you
A face without hesitation
Through the world full of hues,
You took on a huge portion.
I never thought we’d ever
Reach a point of never.
I still thank you for that story,
And for everything, I’m always sorry.
Remind yourself that someone,
Out there, trusts you more than her own.
You may be imperfect in every turn,
But you were the best I could’ve sworn.
I think I’ve burdened you so much
Being always under your watch
Don’t worry, I’ll do my best
To fix my life, even without you in the rest
Maybe, this is the end.
But I promise to love you till the last
I need some fixing, I need to mend
But, you’ll always be the best of my past.
