Crime

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" ?
