How many more days

am I to be around you

when you hardly speak to me...?

How many more nights

am I to be in the same house with you

when alone in our bedroom

I spend my time writing poems of sadness ?

How much longer

am I to nurture myself only

from our few nice memories

we created many years ago ?

What is left or our love

when you hardly look at me

and when you do

it is with so much resentment and anger ?

Am I praying in vain?

My silent screams and sighs

are heard only by strangers...

My weeping eyes are seen

only by passers by

who wonder what am I still doing here.

Your blindness and deafness

are shortening my life.

What will it take

for something to change ?

Perhaps I am the blind one

not seeing that you let me go

a long time ago...

What will it take for me

to let go of you ?
