ACH!

ACH! DIGITAL VERSION BY CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU 2014

Deformed

Ugly

but remarkable

we're sitting in a little corner

of the digital garden

and sigh AH!

"Ah! I will die

Ah! There will be life after me

Ah! There will be seas 

and ships will travel on them

after my disappearing

from the face of the earth

Ah! The stones are eternal 

not me!

Ah! I won't live..."

Yes, you won't...I won't too.

Perhaps I will survive 

some years after you

But we're sorry 

about something

we never really knew

we never really touched

we never really tried to catch

at least seriously...

I think we imitated life

We do not live

Anyway we never had let ourselves live

passionately

the only kind of life

which could have some meaning

for persons like us

Ah! Even if we  had tried

the net we have thrown 

around us

would have never let us 

escape too far

You chose to imitate life

through dreams

This way time will pass

till the end 

with no danger or problem

You already have a lot of problems

You wouldn't need more

I chose to live for others

To throw myself into oblivion

to never exist in fact

There were some moments

we tried together

But it had been to dangerous

Hadn't it?

So we let it go

We threw it to the wind

We let it be forgotten

You see, it is too 

painful to remember

at least for me

You can soften it 

through your dreams

I cannot 

I learned to see things 

as they are

I could never dream

of something

already dead

before my eyes

on something

which will never happen

So I prefer to return

to the non-existence 

of my oblivion

and wait for my death

I think I even long for it...
