Dedicated to ALL, Who are sentenced to "One hundred years of Solitude": The masterpiece literature by Jose Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
CRIME
you "ALL" people out there
I reach out for help
tell me
tell me.......
how long is the distance
between passion and pity
how many days and nights
would you stare at phone
to hear the pleasant ringing
of the reply to your phone call
how long would it take
to build a shining palace
of hope in your foggy dream
days, months, years?
to drown your love in history
seconds, moments, words?
how many times would you risk
to sow happiness
and
harvest deep sorrow
and still survive?
how long would it take
to realize you are sold for free
and
how many more times would you
put your soul on sale?
how hard would be the penalty of your crime
to keep pushing her away
till finally sink
in the empty freedom
how silently would you let it go
while not having the right to defend yourself
during a trial
how many more times one can start again
listening to the same old songs over and over
escaping from pain and loneliness
by writing dull poetry
how many more times would you
review years-old letters of her
sit on the cold stone on the street at nights
staring at the small window of your hope
wishing her shadow behind black curtain would pass by
while sharing your tears with lonely stars
how easy would it be
to sleep at 4 am and
to wake up at 6 am
wishing ALL were just nightmares
how many more times would you
stare at a picture surrounded in your thirsty mind
and cry out :
" Would you ever come back? "
how long would you wear mourning black and not
shave
after losing your sun
how hard would it be
to get used to your hopeless empty mail box
while it were full of passion every day for months
how long would your heart be able
to keep these suffering questions as secrets
before your chest would explode of pain
tell me
how many days would be the difference
between the date smiling on the last love letter
and hearing the breath-taking cold "Good Bye"
just 6 days?
after ALL
tell me you ALL out there
how does it feel living in
"One hundred years of Solitude" ?
