It's life, she said

the daughter I never had yet talks to me,
in my dream she tells me
First I lost my homeland

then I lost all of my best friends

some to marriage, some to school, some to odd ends

then I lost my lover

then they , everyone started moving towards better places,

my sister left first

then my best friend left,

then another

and another

and another

then  I stopped smiling

then I lost myself

and when I turned to my mother

I said: its unfair

she smiled and said, its life.
