I haven’t betrayed you, my hometown

 

by Mirela Sula

 

 

I’m leaving…

My poor shadow remains

There, wandering on the streets

In the grip of gigantic shades

Though sick, I’m leaving

Hidden under covered wounds

Without medicine

I’m leaving…

How am I leaving?

I still hear earthly songs

Following me down the Childhood Mines

My skin chapped of the saddening epidemic

Makes me suffocate with its yellow color

I’m leaving…

Roads winding downwards

No one knows where they lead to

Cold weather

Hanging itself on my eyes

The never made sins stay locked

In the prison of my body

I don’t know

Why I’m carrying them with me

 

You killed me…

Unwisely, but you killed me

To spare your own selve

I saw the culprits seeing me out

At the door of my hometown

I was sorry

To leave them behind

I was sorry to leave you behind

My hometown

Melting away like a snow

Didn’t you feel sorry to see me go?

My ears red with innocence and the cold

 

I haven’t betrayed you my hometown!

Since I first touched your body

I’ve loved you

I’ve been defending you

Now, I’m leaving you

This is all I knew

I’ve been feeding with the freshness of your sky

Your body and soul…

How can you deny me?

My hometown,

You killed me

Because I loved you beyond my consciousness

 

I am leaving now…

Carpeting your streets with the gravel of love

People keep walking with their eyes closed

Unceasingly, I’m carpeting the frozen ice of your streets

With all I own, so the other people won’t fall down like me before
