Do not mention my name
and do not touch my hand
as I stare at you
and all that you are.
Do not mention my name
for you had chosen this path
away from mine
away from who I am.
Do not touch my hand
as I have not touched yours for a while
for an eternity that is endless and it is sad
an eternity that is not enough to freed me from your harm.
Away from me you decided to walk
away from everything that surrounded our hearts
so far that mine became the lonely one
and yours, I am sure, has become the empty one.
Do not mention my name
it might sound just hollow and flat
for you have nothing to offer
and poor excuses will not suffice.
So I became the lonely one
while you explored a greedy path
and constructed a reality
for you to fill up your life.
But no amount of lovers
will give you what I did have
my brilliance and my dreams
my early years and my big blue eyes.
I can’t let you touch me
as I stared at you and you empty heart
for you abandoned me
when I came to you directly from the sky.
Do not mention my name
for you are not my father
Do not touch my hand
for you are not my mother.
Rejecting me was your choice
and my pain is totally your fault.
But now, indifferent to your voice
I finally know how strong I have become.
