He was jealous, and anxious, and tender.
And I was like God’s sun to him.
To stop her from singing of the days she remembered,
He killed my white bird on a whim.
He entered the front room at dusk and implored:
“Love me, laugh, and continue to write!”
And I buried the cheerful, jovial bird
Near the well by the alder that night.
I promised to him not to wallow in woe,
But my heart turned to stone, cold and bare,
And it seems to me, always, wherever I go,
I will hear her sweet voice in the air.
Anna Akhmatova
- Escrevo em todos os cantos. escrevo porque quando te amava, o dizia todos os dias. agora que já não amo, digo a todos que cruzam meu caminho pois já não sei o que fazer do desamor. - me disse enquanto esperava o táxi pra entrar em uma casa cuja porta eu jamais cruzaria.
