Departure Poem by Metin Sahin

suddenly
the stars silenced
without you
departure
began to knock
on my door
slowly and slowly
ı am accustomed
to lıve without you
every delicate senses
rusted off
ı am as numb
my hopes depended
on reckless longings
your picture
melted away ın humidity
deparure has become a past
forgotten
evenings are different
nights are different now
ı swear not to fall ıon love
again
the song on my tongue
is singing a different song
deparure ıs takıng its lesson
