Symbolic burial

when it is too much to bear..

Symbolic Burial
headoverheart

i shall end it now before it'll begin again;
despite the clamor, all i can hear is your voice;
deep,
inviting,
compelling me to come...
but i shall end it now before it can begin again.
your voice, i shall blend it with the uproar
and it will disappear for good
never to gain contact to my ears again.

from this point onwards my tears will never be alone;
i shall make sure that as my vision starts to blur,
the sky will darken too.
and before a single speck from my eyes can kiss the ground,
thousand drops will fall first from the sky.
and as my tears get lost with the waters,
i know that i am not alone.

now, i shall let go of trust;
to have waters first before i approach the fire,
i shall keep in mind that it can heartlessly burn me
...despite my clear intention to befriend its heat

now i shall let go of transparency;
to have a wall between what to share
and what to selfishly possess
i will never forget the painful fact that what i've genuinely given
can be used against me --
despite my willingness to get close.

lastly, i shall let go of the memories,
together with the pictures and letters and hopes
i shall burn them into ashes
and scatter them to wind...
i shall start anew...

without you
without my pain
without my faith
without my generosity


and so it begins.
