| FADE AWAY
The outburst of melancholy Is like a loss for breathing Like a derelict who has lost his chance Like an impervious prisoner, Who vagabonds in his jail cell, Like an orphan who no longer knows about his future… An awful sense of fortitude, Strength that no longer exists Expectations gone to apathy Like my incoherent love broaches the moment I said goodbye Do I have to say goodbye… Do I have to see your back fade away… Do you have to stare at me, like I’m no longer real… Do we have to ask if survival is a false mirth… How can love be an anecdotal courage… An overrated feeling as they say Why is this prejudiced by mere dissonance… By a simple and unreliable basis that a goodbye means hello… Could it be that when your back is fading away… Forever is inevitable? Staring at the countless raindrops Morning is sometimes hazy and obscure Like a misty glass window… Feeling like a stranger Feeling like a widow… Stare at me once more, Like I’m yours till the end… And I will no longer see your back fade away… © Maya Guzman Santos November 2007 |
