the privilege of habit

I have got used
To turn at the same corner,
To sleep on the same side,
To leave you
Just to ease the weight of my heart,
for a while.
Mean person,
who needs
to breathe for swimming in this sea of solitude.
You tell me you wanted to stay.
I chose for you,
against you,
fearing to break again something you cannot fix anymore:
it is a delicate burden.
I have been a bridge.
Now I am too high.
The basis is fading.
I came back to find
How difficult is
To stay.
I came back to discover
There is nothing here for me.
I should imagine another world in which I can hope,
another way to hope
I will learn to fly.
