| 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 |
