Sarajevo

Sarajevo

only the good die young,

she said, on her way to Sarajevo

I saw her face again

in a former life.

As the rain spatters

against my window pane

I am reminded of the

love which left a stain

that just don’t wash away.

As she walked away, I felt

a tidal wave, I dreamed

this day, but in the dream

it did not go this way

but that’s life I guess

I know.

Flying cranes and

paper planes

remind of her voice

it was like swimming

in the daffodils

and surrendering to

all you fought against

I wish there had been

another choice.

For when you go

I do not know

who I am again for

months. It hurts, oh God

there is so much inside

of me, I think if I were to

explode I would be a singularity

and destroy everything from

before.

When she walks away

it’s a tidal wave

pulling me away from shore.

I know I will not

see her in time

but that’s life I guess

I should, I would

better than before.

If there was a door

to that girl going to

Sarajevo, I would jump

right through, without

a thought of anything

but another way,

to find another day,

that the good would

not die alone.

      1. The other day when you and I were talking about not writing anymore I actually said OUT LOUD nnoooooo! Because you’re talented, you may not see that, I can understand I often don’t myself, in my work, but you are, and I can attest to that and so you see, you can never stop.

  5. Your work is evocative and so truthful and altogether incredibly human and this piece is no exception. For that reason I’ve nominated you for the Mystery Blogger Award. I am not asking that you get involved, unless you want to, but at least this way I can share your blog.
