TALKING TO A SUICIDAL WOMAN
Ayad Gharbawi
August 11, 2008 – Damascus, Syria
Too good?
The truth is being
Remanufactured
By recluses
Who were smiling
In front of fake mirrors
Produced by self deceiving professional liars
‘What can I do with you?’ I asked you so many times
But you always gave me such
Twisted answers
With absurd logic
You thought
Was really ‘logic’
But it wasn’t, my dearest
It was just absurdities
And yet
We had all to live
Within these
Claustrophobic days
And pointless heated discussions
Pointless tears
And pointless rages and what did you achieve through it all?
I saw nothing but more of your tears and depressions
That seemed like snarling waves too me
Seriously trying to murder you
Coming and going
But always returning
And maybe succeeding soon with yourself?
