Multilingual mess

Your loneliness echos in me,
Distant memories, ghostly futures.
“C’est la vie, baby, c’est la vie”*
“Es cierto, te quise mucho”**

We are stuck in this multinational
Multilingually stinking mess.
You’re over me, clean and rational.
I behave like I couldn’t care less.

All the distance, the years, the politics,
All the heartbreak, the tears, the pain
Can’t erase our mirrored solitude -
Our choice of diverging lanes.

Why, oh why then the nagging feeling
(Pins and needles, and stomach knots),
That somehow my path is leading
To a new crossroads with yours?


*Такова жизнь, детка, такова жизнь (франц.яз.)
**Честно, я очень тебя любила (исп.яз.)
