Blue Has Turned Black

You didn’t have time

to converse with me

giving me a quarter of an hour

to speak

my mind and heart

*

I felt like I was on death row

ready to be shot

You said you had to go

I thought then that it would not happen again

yet

it was the same whenever

you were worried about yourself and your family

I was left out of the circle of gallantry

*

You didn’t have to pretend

when we met

that you like reading, music, movies

I thought you were close to me

I was wrong, so forgive me

that I’ll call you a coward

a phoney, a piece of sh**

*

How could you possibly think

mentioning my intelligence

all the time

that I will not figure it out

what was going on behind my back?

*

How could you lie and smile the next minute?

Always ready to jump to the plane

to your homeland

to plan

your future

fortified and fornicated by your wife

*

F**k you and her lovers then

Now you have them every day

So, I’m not needed, I never was

Blue became black

So, it was

just joke

which spoke

at the wrong time, I suppose
