speechless
in the face of
the future
the new way

dreamed of
but never hoped
not dared

and suddenly
it is here
just from
another direction
than expected

I wish
I could sell
the memories
like the presents
you made me

I wish
I could bury
the feelings
like your  stuff
I carry down to the basement

only
my love
has went out
like the letters from you
which I burned

finding
my voice
again
buried
underneath
duty
responsibility

now
all this is gone
and I am
free

finding my voice
again
no more fears
no more doubts
just me
and my voice
