Poesie

Singing in the pain

I scratch obsessively my body and
I eliminate stubbornly my cells and
I occupy constantly my mind and
I drown emotionlessly my feelings in
the last desperate attempt to forget you,

[I already have forgiven you,
it wasn’t difficult, my dear, you were
my dawn – a glorious morning

to lessen the physical surface
that has ever been in contact with you
– undoubtedly,
a lifetime wouldn’t be enough for my nerves
to forget the pressure of your fingertips.
