Writing "quarantine diaries" wasn't anything I had planned. I didn't even intend to share any content in this blog at all because I'm in a low creative energy mood, at least for writing. This might be the only post in a long time, but who knows. It's not like I'm a regular poster anyway.

Here's a bit of wordplay with a title I've been saving for a long time.

Solitaire

I felt the first breeze on my face
Air conditioner
Oh, I haven't been out for
What? Five days, I think
And I'm not freaking out yet
Been keeping it busy
Not alone, but still sad
And you're not helping

"Let's play a card game"
You left me hanging
What did you think I was planning?
You never showed up
So now I'm playing solitaire
I've been but patient until my limit
I swear this was the last time
I'm playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire alone

I felt the warm wind of change
Rainy season
People are scared to be out
So we haven't been for
What? Ten days, wild guess
And I've made up my mind
That if I'm always working
I won't be thinking
But there you are
When I was about to forget
I'm helping you
But you're not helping

"Let's play a card game"
You left me hanging
What did you think I was planning?
You never showed up
So now I'm playing solitaire
I've been but patient until my limit
I swear this was the last time
I'm playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire alone

I felt the need to stop messaging
Bitter follow-ups
People are back on the streets
And they shouldn't, but it's been
What? A whole month
And who am I kidding?
Sweet-talk me into believing
And watch me back to the beginning
It was so rare to see you calling
So I'm not answering
(In the same minute)
I'll keep you waiting
(One, two, three...)
"Sorry, I didn't see it"
(My eyes never lifted)

"Let's play a card game"
You left me hanging
What did you think I was planning?
You never showed up
So now I'm playing solitaire
I've been but patient until my limit
I swear this was the last time
I'm playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire alone
