Goodbye, Sweetheart

When you came you conquered

The damage you did was irreparable

I ask forgiveness

For I failed to resist you

I forgive you

For your unintentional tyranny

As you leave

Pick up every rubble and go

Let no sign remain

Of your footsteps

These 4 lines stands out speaking some thing.

You always used to say that u r not a poet, I could never agree with you except this time.

I wonder, why are you more poetic when u are not writing a poem?

I am not comparing, but asking out of curiosity, was Orhan Pamuk ever wrote poetry??

One more thing, out of context: Do u remember me asking you to inform me when u publish your first Book...?

Keep writing.:-)

The poem is very interesting, simple to read but complex in its meaning. Looking forward for more from you.

Kudos!
