Farewell

by Ingrid Prohaska

You can hurt me once

you can hurt me twice

you can hurt me several times

I do not count

the beats of my heavy heart

But one day

I know it for sure

I will miss my laughter

and this moment

I will not ignore

and silently

I will close the door

to myself

for you

forever.

And I won't feel alone anymore.
