Remember Poem by Stefan Mijovic

An empty box
nothing left from the past crimes
no precious things of good old times
no photo of any dear friend
just the sorrow never to end

An emtry view
no more blue for water left in the lake
no more dogs in the garden to wake
no more trees for the green in my painting
just black which left me waiting

An empty room
nothing left but wine
no voice heared but mine
no life in any corner of this old house
just a starving grey mouse

An empty mind
so many memories left to find
easily end the life if it was all forgotten
but the brain is full of what is rotten

An empty soul
without hers next to mine
without her smile to pick me from this mud
without her warmth for my cold blood

Such emptiness inside the soul
Skin is left to hold the body
Just a touch would be enough
To break the shell of the one who wields
For I was long gone on the never-ending fields

Across the streets the silence breaks
As the ceiling roughly shakes
And our starving mouse ate the rope
For the shell, there was no hope
As it broke, as the body fell on the floor
I wasn't alone anymore.
