Day by day
the rubber band stretches
more and more,
just a little bit more,
until one day, eventually,
perhaps unexpectedly,
violently,
it breaks.

Day by day,
behind my concrete face, my mind,
my rubber band,
immersed in tension,
drained,
yet saturated with pain

and when I thought no one cared about me
I saw you standing there
and it's all thanks to you
I won't go away today
