Woman in the park
Since he left, she takes long walks
At night, she talks with birds
And squirrels, she likes when lights blink, and
To be talked to.
There’s nothing new,
Perhaps, that she dyes her hair black
Every two weeks or so,
And the way she wears it (now,)
That her smile is more ambiguous
And her face is covered with fresh winkles.
Paper ships
How, when or where
I don’t know
But something changed.
And now
When the waves, violently
Hit the shore
I don’t feel the need to greet them
With paper ships.
Stay
Please! Stay a little more
Maybe you’ll forget to leave
And when time comes
You will notice you´re still here
I can’t ask for it directly,
You might think I am selfish
I know that you have dreams
That you need to rush and make them true
Before you’re old and scared
But stay one moment, a little more
I haven’t seen your eyes enough
