leaving behind
I m on my boat nowleaving my home land, home n you.
The wind brushes against my face
last time I realized this
it was bliss
You were with me
talking, fighting…
I always knew you loved me
Have I lost you
I ask myself
for a hundredth time
‘no’ says a small voice within
‘yes’ screams the whole world
making me deaf, making me blind
making me lose all my senses
I open my eyes, I can’t see a thing
All is fair in love and war
but love is not fair
when there is war.
My name is changed
I am a refugee now
you stay but fight
for your smaller piece of the pie
in the bottle-necked island
I ve always loved you
but I never told you
My love buried in the lankan sands
amongst those land mines
The long wait begins now
of a hopeful dawn
We part to meet again
in this world or in the next
