I understood that no matter what I show, you do not see me.

I understood that you do not want to open the door.
I understood that, with everything included, you cannot accept me.
I understood that you withdraw as if from a contagious disease.
I understood that in your imagined world, there is no place for me.
I understood that you reject change.
I understood that your comfort zone matters more.
I understood that you want to walk the path without me.
I understood that in your well-being, you dismiss me.
I understood that your heart is full of self-pity.
I understood that you imagine your life without me.

So keep your faith in the truth you believe in.
Everything you cling to is yours.

I accept the nothing.

I retreat beside the warmth of the fire,
while outside lightning shakes sky and earth.

I let you go.
