Comfortable with Loneliness


 

When did you last look at the bright moon hugged by the dim light?

When was the last time you closed the door without feeling any regret?

When was the last time you lent a hand to help someone in trouble?

When was the last time you admired the moon without feeling sad?

When was the last time you sat and reflected on every mistake you had made?

When was the last time you looked into the eyes of your loved one

And asked if everything is okay?

When was the last time you actually felt anything?

I see you thinking hard before you answer, wondering when the last time was that you felt like a living being.

I see you barely holding your pose, trying to remember when you last cried over all the important fuck – ups.

Are you still trying to play the game of being blameless, truly guilt-free?

Or maybe your heart has grown used to being cold… Just tell me.

When did you last look at the bright moon hugged by the dim light?

When was the last time you sat drawn in the depth of your comfortable loneliness?

When was the last time you enjoyed your life just as it was?

When was the last time you were filled with glee without feeling shame?

Have you forgotten what a pure emotion is?

Have you forgotten what delight tastes like?

Maybe there is nothing worth remembering,

Maybe every question is another locked door,

Maybe every piece you buried should stay where it is.

Maybe you refuse to remember because you have given up.

And now that the bright moon rests within the dim light again,

You no longer ask where you have been or what you have forgotten.

Maybe this calm night is for me to finally understand that you are no longer my friend,

Maybe I need to realize that you are now a stranger wearing the face of someone I once cherished,

Someone I no longer know…
