Hamlet, My love, My Murderer,
Have you said your farewell to the river? I will, i will soon.
Have you said your farewell to the ocean? Will it bring you back to me?
Have you said your farewell to my father, as you sent him where he is now? He said you didn't. He said you just killed him.
I have watched you through the curtains of your mind, and i remember when all i saw was you. Now the Sun and the Moon have grown wider, and i often see stars through the ceiling for how faint has this world become. I remeber you father joking, talking, listening to Yorik, and now i see him roaming, but i don't know whether the ghost is he or you.
Everyone seems so slow, so immoblie, that i sometimes wonder if i'm living amog statues. But statues don't smell like lies, and are much more consistant.
Oh, Hamlet, as you laft, i think i left with you. Most of the times, they act like i was further away than you, yet they await my return and dread yours.
Am i a ghost already? No, i don't think so. Otherwise, i'd understand what other ghosts say, and your mother, who surely is one, is completely unclear to me.
I believe now i could understand you. I remember when you were so mysterious, so difficult to comprehend, but now everything makes a sense.
My father still won't forgive you, though i've tried to convence him. He says the dead don't forget; but how can he be dead if he spoke to me?
Maybe he is. I also spoke to the king your uncle, and he's dead for sure, though he still pretends to be alive.
Should a farewell be sad? How can anyone be sad as the violets are flowering? And the white lilies, which make funerals look so pretty, are all over, all around me.
I have to go across the river and far beyond, but one day, maybe, i'll meet you.
I remember roses living only one day. I've lived so much longer that i barely remember what happened a few days ago.
But for roses, those days are lifetimes.
Sometimes i feel so lonely.
Are you going to come back, Hamlet, my Hamlet? Maybe i won't be here when you do. Maybe i'm away already.
Farewell, Hamlet, lover, murderer, avenger, dear unforgiven.
I will go beyond the river.
Ophelia
