I Also Know How To Keep Misgivings
in my patience
i also learned how to keep misgivings
like a sponge
i absorb everything that wets me
everyday
i keep the secrets of my life
adding them and putting them all together
how hurt i am
how i keep the pains like they were precious gems
in my secret pockets
of my memories
i do not complain
i have no reasons to support them
except that
i have surrendered myself in the name of love
someday i will be full
like a cup unable to keep the foam
overflowing
i will not burst like a balloon
i will not explode like a bomb
you know me very well
in my passive silence
there will be no wars or unkind word uttered
there will be no questions
i will just take my long vacation
taking all my necessary belongings
with a note
that never will i be coming back
i always think of a new life
i always have in mind another new beginning
there in the place where i can breathe freely
finally without you
