LONG AND LONELY
I stared endlessly at
the void,
on the wake of your
departure.
I heard the echoes of
your voice, as your memory cuddled me
through the stillness
of the night
but in my head
How is life at the
other city?
Where were you in the
last few days?
Oh! I know.
I know you just left
We made our promises
too frightened to say goodbye
You asked me to wait
your call
I told you I would be
strong
I am strong, so I
won’t ring you.
I am strong
Like when you mumbled
your goodbye without looking back
I waited endlessly for
a gaze
I assured myself you
would wave
I am convinced, I
missed both in a blink
I am strong,
Like the the light
footed,
heavy hearted, walk
back home from your departure
Long and lonely, you
took my haste along
I am strong,
Like the never-ending
night without you
You took dawn along
I am strong,
My only fear is
your goodbye is
beginning to have its real value
I hope the gods hasn’t
taken side
on that which was
forbidden.
