When will you realize, my heart, when exactly?

myself

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 2 min read

When will you realize, my heart, that sadness will come

At sunset, it will come in moments?

And turn my life upside down and occupy my self

And imprison me like a bird that delights in my sighs

A breeze crossed my heart with my whispers

On an empty road, my soul went out to meet me

Calling you to know my solitude and the path of my tragedies

But you did not know my voice, so my melodies were lost

And solitude tore apart a prison that used to free my self

From the worries that inhabited my heart, so all my memories melted with it

And I remained alone, repeating with the wind the whistle of my screams?

And the echo around me like a ghost wiping away my tears

And telling me that speech is what told me about myself

So do not tire yourself, O echo, with my company

For sadness is my soul when my estrangement intensifies

And my heart is torn apart by a melody that used to sleep when touched

So what is my fault that it disturbs my poetic soul with my problems

And imprisons the feeling itself in my feelings?

I am... and I am nothing but a child displaced by circumstances

Did my feet slip and accidentally step on the ghost of my disasters?

It awakened my worries and burned my desires with regret

When I visited you, my homeland, I forgot what was in my soul

Did my nightmare repeat my setbacks from time to time?

My worries increased and I found nothing but the sadness that was my anchor

So I said, perhaps I will leave and buy a new soul that will renew my life

Or perhaps misery will look at me with compassion and leave me my pleasures?

If the world carries my illness upon me

Who will take me to the doctor to reveal my tragedies?

And the birds flew to me and repeated my smiles

So I said, if I cling to life, I must regain my happiness

So my mouth opened and my laughter became clearer

And he said: O my heart, come to me, O ghost, and be fuel for my candles?
