The few corners of the world
my travel diary’s seen it all
I thought I’d make a mark
everywhere
alone!
In no strength to be bound
by love
by strings
by hearts.
For I knew I’d be rigid at one point
was I not ready
to bid farewell
to the tickets I never bought
to the pictures I never shot
to the shores I never walked.
Selfishly with all my arrogance
did I unsee every man
did I ignore all the blue eyes
did I ignore all the tan skins
did I avoid dinner conversations with random locals
did I disagree to dancing
did I say no to ravishing my youth.
I tricked the time
and ran away to a distance as far
to disappear amidst the crowd
but when fate sets the date
I couldn’t trick myself.
I fell in love.
Breaking every grounds and vows
I fell in love.
Days, weeks, months, years, did it feel like just yesterday
that I fell in love
when he now says he loves me no more.
For the world it’d be nothing
but I know I'm hurting.
Days, weeks, months, years, did it feel like just yesterday
when he said he loved me no more.
For the same rigid spot
was what I feared
the feel of being alone and that nobody cares
was what I feared
the strength to adjust in the loneliness
the strength that took me years to build
to finally travel the world
alone
has all gone.
Again!
