I died

Sait Çıkrıkçı 21.03.2023 184

Everything I found on the road
I set off

Thorns stinging my hand
I gave it to the rose

I'm tired of crawling
I flew

I raised my hopes so that they would grow
I gave it to the Nile

I counted countless knives on my back
I laughed

When I say my troubles are over
I'm done

My loves that I hold on to and never let go of
I released it to the skies

I accelerated, accelerated, ran out of fuel
I put the gear in neutral.

My harvest that I collected
I gave it to the flood

Your gaze pierced my heart
I followed you

You shattered my heart
I gave it to you

I just love you
I thought

It turns out you never loved me
I died
