Time To Go: A Poetry Collection

Brother

Your lips were moving,

But I didn't get a single thing

You were saying.

Brother, what is it?

You were running,

But you were still far,

You weren't getting closer.

Brother, where are you?

You were changing,

But I couldn't tell the difference

Between the new you and the old you.

Brother, who are you?

You were fading,

But your face was still haunting

For a long time since you left.

Brother, what did you do?

You were smiling,

But you seemed as harsh

As it has been for the last years.

Brother, what are you thinking of?

You were standing

On top of a skyscraper,

Reckless, sorrowful.

Brother, why are you so mature?

The sunset was early

As you roamed the streets

With no destination.

Brother, did your life have no purpose?

You said, sister,

One day you'll understand me,

One day you'll feel the same.

Brother, what are you talking about?

But I hope you'll be wiser, stronger

And won't repeat my mistakes,

Because I can't take this any longer.

Brother, I don't know you at all.

But you left quickly

And mysteriously,

Brother, I'll remember you.
