was without you | B |
- | |
You were a lonely butterfly gliding among | C |
the empty meadow | D |
We first met as kids in church | E |
the corridor at the end of the stairs was our | F |
quiet corner from where we would look down at the busy road and argue which car | G |
was ours | H |
- | |
You would try to thrutch your head through | B |
the window protector | F |
and as always I would want to show you | B |
how better at thrutching I was than you | B |
then my head would stick to it and you would as always laugh at how big my head was | I |
- | |
Slowly like nestlings we became a flock of our own | J |
I remember how we would bang at the | K |
uncouth old man's door | L |
and run away like scared rats when he opens the door | L |
I remember being the victim of his hard whoops | M |
- | |
Every Saturday evening I would walk you down to your castle | N |
and we would talk about all your luxurious | O |
activities during the week | P |
and the half glass of water I had to drink | Q |
during the week | P |
You used to say that you felt the most comfortable with the way I made you | B |
laugh | R |
Soon we had to watch those evenings | S |
walk passed us like calm breeze | T |
- | |
February was a Saturday I would | U |
never let to slip out of my memories | T |
I told you goodbye | V |
but you turned bright pink as you asked me | W |
won't you kiss me | W |
My lips didn't wait to tell you yes with the next action | X |
at that moment there was no cage standing | Y |
next to my shoulders | H |
no weight gravity lost memory of me | W |
in my mind I was floating in the quietness | O |
of space nothing can separate us now | Z |
- | |
But then days walked out of the door | L |
and days came in and we had to walk away | A2 |
from each other | F |
big birds now we no longer need the other | F |
to fly we thought | B2 |
- | |
You told me I would come back to you | B |
And I waited like a watchman waiting for | L |
sunrise | C2 |
You called me weeks later to tell me you | B |
are now in college | D2 |
Congratulations' escaped out of my sad heart | E2 |
in my heart I began to wonder | F |
how Saturday evenings would be now | Z |
who would hold my hand while crossing the | K |
busy road | F2 |
who would love me like you did | G2 |
- | |
I was an empty boat at the middle of a wide | H2 |
ocean | X |
like a flower in a once garden now turned desert I begged for water | F |
- | |
Then you came back to me but not alone | J |
you came back with a boy | I2 |
and I smiled like I meant it like I was happy | W |
but I wasn't | J2 |
- | |
Now we are big birds you are the flock bird | K2 |
with a stronger bird by your side | H2 |
I am the lone eagle who decides to write this poem for you | B |
Now the uncouth old man doesn't have to | B |
worry about getting my ass whooped | L2 |
he can go to sleep now | Z |
The window protectors are missing our heads they ask me of you and I tell them | M2 |
you're on your way | A2 |
- | |
These scars you see on my skin are not from crawling my way out of the thorns of | N2 |
loneliness even if I am | O2 |
these scars you see on my skin they are from me flying without you | B |
