In response to Nazim Hikmet’s “I Think Now You’re Just Like Everybody Else”

A poem

Hi everyone! I enjoy writing kind of a “response poetry” to my favorite poems from famous writers, and here is another one! This time I chose famous Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet and his poem “I Think Now You’re Just Like Everybody Else. Firstly, here are his words:

My eyes don’t see the love in your eyes. My heart doesn’t receive the love from them. I’ve already exhausted my soul, take, exhaust it a little more. Because I think you’re just like everybody else now. Though last night I was waiting for you to come, today I’m running away from you secretly. See, I’d looked into my heart well enough, then I understood that you’re just like everybody else. I completely forgot you, I’m sure about that. Now my promise has gone to the past. I don’t even have grudge for you in my heart. I think you’re just like everybody else now.

And here is my freestyle response:

I have feared this words, for all I have known, I have feared your empty, loveless glances. You say I have exhausted your mind, your soul. When I was the one filling your life with happiness. I was running to you, while you ran away, You didn’t give me a second chance. I thought our love will always find a way, But now I realize, we don’t make sense. You have forgotten me, but I still see you in my dreams, Your absence caused me unbearable pain. I was never like everyone no matter how it seems, Now you have moved on, but my heart is in vain.
