I Will Disappear

You are a dream

that cannot be escaped.

You are a memory for which

it is worth departing

into the unknown.

 

I remember those times

when happiness

was in sadness. I will not get rid of

the memories that have saved my soul

many times.

 

I am looking in my dreams

for such a desire

that will not be quenched

by real tears.

Still in love with your fantasies,

still savoring the silence

of which so little is left.

 

I am still here,

though the world has long been dead.

I'm not leaving here

until the final scarlet star falls.

I will pass

with the first breath of time.

 

I will disappear

when your heart calls out

for my loneliness.

Such a brilliant composition of emotion, all entwined. Loneliness, life, death, hope, fear and pain. Your strides of literature may not be native, but they speak in a tongue of truth and promise. I am thrilled to meet you, Katarzyna!

I found this to be a beautiful write of a lonely soul, love the flow. The words echo a deep sadness. Love your emotions ;-}

Who would pick up if they called if we weren't here to answer?
Or conversely, who would be here to know you chose to ignore their call?
We don't really need to depart to find the unknown, do we? We're already there.
