Thousands of Miles Away

I still held that piece of paper,

crumled over and over in hands.

The words written was your name

and your poem-

the last poem you wrote.

The first verse:

"You're afraid.

You're scared that they'll leave you all alone.

All alone by yourself to suffer. Just like he did."

I listened to our song again, did you know that?

Your new 'favorite song.'

It sends me back to the past-

to the time when I hid my face

and treated myself as if I were inhuman.

At the same time,

I could see myself holding your hand.

I sit here, all alone,

in the darkness,

in the cold

of the airport.

I just sat there, waiting for you to come.

I know it's stupid

because you were never going to come.

You live thousands of miles away

and I didn't even get the chance to see your face.

These are not tears

spilling down my cheeks-

I will not be weak-

never again.

Why did you have to leave?
