One grain of rice is cut in five
To feed a large family one must stay apart
And watch
As their bothers and sisters starve
A sixth is all he can give
To make sure their teeth don't clink empty
When they close on that *grain de riz

I was lost in the past
Where the smiles you keep hidden
Were out for me everyday
I was looking all over the planet
For the thief who stole your smile
Away from me
At the end of the line
I found
You

*(I cried so much that day I didn't see the sun)

I travel back to the time you
Wanted to memorize my face
In each corner of your soul
I cannot fanthom how
It was easy to forget me
In the blink of an eye
I was gone
You never bothered to wonder
Where

I wanted you to ink my face in your mind
Stamp my love all over your heart but you,
You didn't need to remember I
Was only a figure of the past,
Blurry and often forgotten.
It doesn't matter how long my hair is
How my smile is gone and the life in my eyes…
…Gone.

You and I were impossible
An equation
With no resolution
A drop of rain
In the desert
We were impossible
Like the sight of snow
Over the ocean
Beautiful but
A natural impossibility
You and me
We could not have come closer to being
One
Possible equation
Everything screamed at me to hold on to you
While
Every fiber of your being roared to get away
And I don't want to chase you around
My mind is in quarantine
All the smiles you gave me are under lock and key
They way you looked at me is buried deep
In the corner of the prison my heart created for moments like this
It hurts too much to be betrayed and you cannot roam freely in my head
What is one more cell in my prison-clad heart
Everything is hidden or taken away from me
My heart knows I am too emotional
I cannot stand the memories without crumbling
Although you bring colours in my world of darkness
When you invade my mind all is stained of your departure
