No, not anymore

 
No, not anymore, I no longer want to feel
that my essence is an exhausted echo,
a whisper in the passing breeze,
in the shadow of an unfulfilled love.
I no longer want half-hearted promises,
or smiles that hide the cold,
or looks that doubt my path,
as if my very being were a challenge.
I no longer long for the uncertainty
of souls lost in the shadows,
I don't want to be the doubt in your gaze,
nor the corner where the flame is extinguished.
Because I am a complete universe,
with stars and seas of calm,
I am the force of fire in the chest,
the serene heartbeat that does not falter.
No, not anymore, not to longing,
nor to words that are not true,
I will love myself again, embrace my flight,
and I will be enough, my own eternity.
