GOODBYES

in the memory off the beauty 
that lies within the chaos

the city that taught me a lot 

how to be hard and harsh 
how to be sweet and nice

sweeping within the negativity
and denying the positivity 

four years of war within yourself 

iam finally raising the white flag

iam leaving a part of my brain
and my heart,

Famagusta iam finally saying my
goodbyes, and all I can say 
is I love you full heartedly 

as iam sitting at gloria 
the place where I almost 
lived there

the novels that where written 
here

the poetry that people thought of
sipping their coffees 

boys watching the girls,
while they slayed their looks
with confidence (that i wish i had)

each person had a
different background 
from the others

while they all had still 
laughed at stupid 
jokes

to be honest this time 
is the hardest time 
of my entire life.
