Pretending The World Is Over …. Poem by Wael Karameh

Pretending the world is over and I am not here…
It is hard not to see you, not to call you…
Not to remember you my dear …
The words are dying in my pen and my throat
A strange coldness is invading my shivering body
In spite it is summertime and I am wearing my thickest coat…
What a nightmare to cheat myself
And at the same time to know that
To try to run from your love like a coward cat…
Dipping my head into the sand…
Quitting willingly your holly land…
How can I do that and continue living
It is like I am putting my life into a disastrous end…

Pretending the world is over and I am not here…
Or maybe you are not here…
Maybe you forgot me, maybe you don’t care
Maybe you think our relation was a mistake
And you wanted to say it before, but you could not dare…
Maybe your beliefs had changed
And love isn’t your priority anymore
Maybe your boat has found another shore…
Maybe…maybe…maybe…
Maybe I should face the reality
and scream in the ears of the sky
I am still in Love with you…
I am coming back to you…
And I will NEVER say good bye…

Wael Karameh.
