"stay right where you are"
And all after she had left
while I am hiding in these comforting curtains
you were mumbling something
out of my reach
"can I go to you?"
not to give you a bucket
or a wind to dry your tears
let me just hear what you speak
let me just hear your grief
let me hear your voice
out of some misery
out of this storming rage
out of your lips.
I'm watching you
With my eyes unblinking
While everything was pouring
You sat down
In your grey seas
You made your eyes to sleep
You sob with no tears
May I ask
"what is love now to you?
Do you now fear it?
Do you now regret it?
Do you now wanted to kill it?
Or do you still
wanted
the very thought of it?
For it was unfair to hate love
Because hate and love
They were different species of time
But they were born of us
It was marveled in our bones
And it was our choice to know
What kind of species
Will we choose for our time?
But I must tell you
Breathe, my dear stranger
It was love who gave you pain
But you can love the rain
Without regret
Even if you will soon get sick
Because hurting
It was the beautiful contrast of healing
And what's better of us to not get scarred and still live?
Living
And
Dying
We could stay right where we are with it
Or just leave it that way."
I put my hands between our barrier
Between my aging fingers
Fitting you in my wrinkled veins
She left you
And I can't tell how much you've been hurt
But with you crumpling that shirt of yours
To keep the pain inside your chest to stop
Never take away that love
No matter how the world took your soul
I'm keeping it
Beyond the death of my whole
Let me stay right where I keep you
Between this fragile heart of mine
I will dance with you.
