0030

I don’t know why but I still want to try,
this tear seems like it won't dry
I’m here standing at your front gate
wishing you still see me under the peephole 
or maybe just for the last time, you actually twist the doorknob

perhaps luck was never on our side
or to begin with
it is like we were in a battle or something
we own this Achilles heel
we know the antagonist
but what can we do?
we stand on this desert field
choosing a team and counting score
while our feet sink in this dune

so go back to all the catastrophe,
we are just two birds
too young and bold
we just wanted the same thing
to fly free 
to live happily 
in your shades sky of blue
it was enough for me

I wish you were on my side
even when I lose
I still got you,
not how they pry
but in the way
I saw they hate I try,
you choose to be the front line
to your bloodline 
instead of mine

We got the oasis
you teach me the tastes
of figs, olives, and dates
in a quick snap
and now you are away,
I’m running fast
chasing your silhouette
but the only thing I got
is some mirage

I don't know why I still try
they got what they want
you made your mind
and now it’s my cue 
to say goodbye
