Leaving

Waiting in an airport with all my bits and pieces
Waiting to leave
Me and my memories
by the wings of an aeroplane
Sitting in red chairs between blue ones
Beside strangers, beside birds with forgotten wings
Waiting to fly
On economy class.
Leaving
Tears, love and indifference
Worries with someone else
People’s faces carry this weight
People’s cold hands
A wave
And goodbye.

Leaving
Waiting
Looking at emptiness
I let go
I let go of you
From those aching commitments
From those lies fooling ourselves
How do you leave someone you loved?
“Loved”
Yes even that can be said in past tense.

The only way to leave
“I don’t love you anymore, goodbye”
Brutal ?
I don’t know other words
No compassionate words in this ruthless world
For you and me, tired of lies and euphemism
Gone black and white
All the anonymities lost
What is left is weary
Of colours
Of love.

The coldness between bodies
Spaces between touches
Uncared for
Waking up alone
Even if you are there.

Being only a man
I wanted to live with my wants and dreams
the reasons that an animal can give you
And I did all this being human.

All those unshed tears
Without even a words
We managed our depart
Thousand miles away from eachother.
I left
All the things
Even the air you breathed.

I let go myself
And changed into somebody else
The only way to leave
The only way to live.
