Saying Goodbye Poem by Bilal Khoukhi

I want to say goodbye, I wanna get lost
Literally lost in this ugly yet beautiful world
I want to hide in the dark like a ghost
In a distant place to heal my wounds

I asked me to stay for whom I love the most
For whom I admire, for whom I always crooned
It is too much...
I cried, I felt too weak, I gave up and swooned

When I opened my eyes, no one was there for me
I felt happy for a second, I am alone and free
My body moved and I started to run, but I fell down
I am still weak, I am not the king I want to be

I lost my sword, there is no realm, there is no crown
My hand on my face, swept the tears, or was it shame?
My hand on my chest, not for honor, but to feel my pain
Memories rushing back, I touched the wound
