We Used to Exist
I
Every word has a meaning
able to bring up
what is felt and hidden,
but all the words have become useless
and we have become fragile and bitter
just like this world.
II
Every feeling has to be revealed
as the time extinguishes
and the heart stops throbbing,
but all the feelings were oppressed
and we were chained to the world
which is created and destroyed by us.
III
No memory will last until tomorrow
because we changed a lot yesterday
and now we don't even remember our names,
but no memory lasts
because we learnt to forget
everything and everyone.
IV
No name will be shouted
when something happens to us
because we never met,
but no name is shouted
as the name of that who allows us shout
(and some still believe in men).
V*
Every life fades away
when we see it as something forbidden,
something accostumed to finish.
No existence will last...
I know that because I used to exist
and as a human, you too.
