You Pushed Me Away
You pushed me away
And I remained rooted
On the spot
Drenched, in the pouring rain,
Having no strength left in me
To even walk away!
The winds surging forth saw me,
Pitied me
And blew me away
As easily as they could
Lifting me up as if I were a mere
Dried up leaf!
I landed somewhere else
Somewhere where Death is revered
As the deity of all life,
Since, in the end,
He rules all of humankind
Even if the latter chooses to remain
Blind to its truth!
You pushed me away
And now
If I would see you
I would probably not recognise you
As there where I fell
Is a land powerful enough
As to twist and turn my memory
Into that which it desires!
You pushed me away
And I now live solely for Death,
In love with it
As would be a maiden
Waking up to the fresh pulls of her senses
At the dawn of her being!
You pushed me away
And may you enjoy my absence from your life
Since my presence
Was always some sort of disturbance!
