Dedicated to ALL, Who are sentenced to "One hundred years of Solitude": The masterpiece literature by Jose Gabriel Garcia Marquez Crime ***** you "ALL" people out there I reach out for help tell me tell me....... how long is the distance between passion and pity how many days and nights would you stare at phone to hear the pleasant ringing of the reply to your phone call how long would it take to build a shining palace of hope in your foggy dream days, months, years? to drown your love in history seconds, moments, words? how many times would you risk to sow happiness and harvest deep sorrow and still survive? how long would it take to realize you are sold for free and how many more times would you put your soul on sale? how hard would be the penalty of your crime to keep pushing her away till finally sink in the empty freedom how silently would you let it go while not having the right to defend yourself during a trial how many more times one can start again listening to the same old songs over and over escaping from pain and loneliness by writing dull poetry how many more times would you review years-old letters of her sit on the cold stone on the street at nights staring at the small window of your hope wishing her shadow behind black curtain would pass by while sharing your tears with lonely stars how easy would it be to sleep at 4 am and to wake up at 6 am wishing ALL were just nightmares how many more times would you stare at a picture surrounded in your thirsty mind and cry out : " Would you ever come back? " how long would you wear mourning black and not shave after losing your sun how hard would it be to get used to your hopeless empty mail box while it were full of passion every day for months how long would your heart be able to keep these suffering questions as secrets before your chest would explode of pain tell me how many days would be the difference between the date smiling on the last love letter and hearing the breath-taking cold "Good Bye" just 6 days? after ALL tell me you ALL out there how does it feel living in "One hundred years of Solitude" ?
