I wish I could read your poem
As easily as you could wake at dawn
And I'll read it, eventually
It'll be written on the side of the mountain
It'll be written in the colors of the leaves, of the dead trees in the Fall
In a place where flowers would never die
Just to witness that
For you, harder I'll try.
To get once again lost in that grove
Where I wish we'd never come out
Because in there it was so terribly beautiful
With the breeze we shouted
Our two bodies, in the air, collided
And on our shiny limbs, let a warm shiver run along.
Once I get back to this place
I'll read it in the water
From the river that ran through the crooked house of my old town
And I'll read it in the sand
It'll be written with a branch
Then it'll wipe away with a wave
And only one thing would be left to say
That for you it never has been true
"I'm sorry I made you think that it was all about you".
Reality isn't as crisp as it used to be
But at least now I'm free...
Am I?
For now, you watch me sleep a couple hours more
But in my heart I already feel pain
A forshadow that would hold on to me like a stain
That you'll be soon gone
Already I can feel it in my bones
So I wish I could equal your strength
Before it's too late and you'll put us in chains
Prisonner of the orchard where trees grow
I never thought we'd once turn into foe.
And yet,
I don't know what you wrote in that poem.
