Fenix Poem by Alejandra Olivas

Today Aphrodite brought you
back to me
But it was not you who came
It was not who my heart mourns.
It was not who my heart loved.
The man I loved did not return from his journey.

I look back to the memories together we made and
My heart no longer beats remembering them.
My heart no longer mourns you.
What happen to the us?
What happen to me?

For once I can look up
Once again my heart is together
Once again I feel the warmth of life
Once again I joined the living.

In the memories of
a great love you’ll always live.
Just as a memory you will stay
Because today my heart
no longer beats thinking about you
Because today
I stopped being numb
Because today
I joined the living once more.
