The whistles of the wind gusting through the street, notifying the agog night owls that a blustery winter is coming their way, to withdraw their disappointments and bewilderments, and to deliver the remedy they were starving for; the trees are finally letting go of their old leaves and allowing new ones to sprout, the session is here to take the leafs that once held much pain and beauty, if only my worries can fade away like these falling leaves, with the splash of charm and the promise of never coming back… …despairingly staring from the window at a flock of birds heading south, searching for a place warmer for them to survive, I took a sip of my dark coffee, to help me stay up through this endless night, I put the cup back on the table and my eyes met the box of the old unread letters on the nightstand, I paused for a moment, smiled and grabbed the heavy old box, as I opened it the smell of the old memories hit me hard on my face, making my eyes sweat and my outmoded wounds bleed! While the lullaby of the neglected recalls playing in the background … … The smell of the old memories and the smell the absenters brought back the heartache, the feeling of disappointment, anger, sorrow and gloom!!! I gently took the first letter in my hand, a letter that is addressed to me, from them… the ones who stole my soul, burnt my innocence and murdered my heart, the dear ones who left my bleeding body hanging on the bridge of loneliness, becoming a nourishment for the crows of depression; I still remember the day I was left alone on that abandoned road, the fingerprints of the cold raindrops still burn my skin every single night, leaving traces of shame to the sun rise, can’t be washed and can’t be recovered, like an ugly tattoo stuck on me for a lifetime! … … Each letter has a story and each story has a wound; I bet they struggled to make these letters look as honest as their lies but we all know that lying always leads to a dead end, where you can’t look back and you can’t escape, that moment when the truth locks you in the hell and cell; where to go, my friend?!
