J'AI QUITTE MON PAYS (For my father)

Today,
I found your picture
In between the pages of a book
Which I forgot to read, or got bored....
With that look on your face
And that smile once I adored
I'm a little girl again,
Begging you to hug me,
Begging you to kiss my pain.

I didn't know then
Time was too impatient,
Time was too hasty.
I thought days were vast....
Now, I need only that day, trapped in this photo,
Now, I need just three minutes of your past
So that you can put me to sleep one more time
Before I put your picture away.
Put me to sleep whispering that song,
Whispering like you used to.... J'ai quitte mon pays...

END OF A FRIENDSHIP

Strange,
As I erase your messages one by one from my phone,
You become more forgettable.
It's a pity that you wanted this,
With the fear of unknown
And chose the comfort of keeping far
Comfort of singing all alone...
Soon,
The eye of my mind will close completely
And the olden will become transparent, I know....
As you told me once
Now I am like that cat who got enough petting
And it's time to go....
