Venus Retrograde

Venus, stop your tricks

I don't romanticize these past relationships.

Ones where shadow let people misuse her loyalty like a puppy,

Where I felt people viewed nothing but badly of me. 

They are nothing but a reminder:

A reminiscent fog that tells me I did well 

They channel their farewells.

These people carry their humiliation 

While never considering that they must change their expectations. 

Venus, unhand me,

I un-hinder my karmic debt, 

And will no longer hike through the west!
