Notes from a future ex-wife

By Hayat HyattPublished 8 months ago Updated 8 months ago 1 min read
Inspried by "Nights of Cabria" (1957)

O constancy

build a bridge betwixt my heart and my tongue

O misery

show me the bridge to the metropolises to come

O memories

they feel like static on my flesh

O lucid dreams

take us to the places we haven't the chance to visit yet

I want missus on my tombstone

but I must think of myself

or I'll be nothing

O vivid dreams

shelter me from expectations that'll never exist

O memories

take me to the places where we experienced bliss

O misery

show me the gratitude to endure this fall

O constancy

build a bridge betwixt my heart and my tongue

or I'll have nothing at all

I want missus on my tombstone

but I must think of myself

or I'll be nothing

O constancy

build a bridge betweixt my heart and my tonge

O misery

Show me the map that leads us all home

O memories

don't make me bitter make me strong

O lucid dreams

take us to the places we haven't the chance to visit yet

but where we all belong
