Empty spaces - what are we living for..........

Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, Ill leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess Im learning, I must be warmer now
Ill soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark Im aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
Ill face it with a grin
Im never giving in
On - with the show -
Ill top the bill, Ill overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on...

"The show must go on" -Queen

This song is the most depressing and at the same time the most beautiful......
This is the song I listened to over and over again in 1997 when a very dear friend of mine died from Aids..........
And it is the song that was going through my head all week as on Tuesday a very dear great aunt of mine died....
This is the aunt who gave me a place to stay rent free when I first came to Athens in 1992.....
This is the aunt who would stay up all night waiting for me to come home from work I usually got home around 11pm....
This is the aunt who would wait all night just to see me for a chat and a gossip to catch up on all the neighbourhood gossip and to tell me the latest about her grand daughter...........
This is the aunt who gave me what ever she could spare in sheets and blankets and other household items when I moved into my own apartment..............
This is the aunt with whom I used to fight with because she would secretly eat chocolate and she shouldn't have as she was diabetic......
This is the aunt who would call me every month to check up on me as i am not very good with picking up the phone and catching up with people.......and she knew that.......
This is the aunt who i had to see buried on Tuesday because she felt it was time to die as her body was tired...
This is the aunt who even though her body was tired with failing eyesight managed to read philosophers like Socrates in her old age......
This is the aunt who had such a thirst for enlightenment in her last years...
This is the aunt that i wish a farewell........
γεια σου θεία μου γλυκεία..............
On with the show -
The show must go on...

Later........................................

  1. Well.... what am I supposed to tell about all these... I know the feeling and this isn't just empty words... or words had to be said! I only hope that you had your time to mourn... something I haven't done the right way yet... only because there are people who need support more than I do... my mother for loosing a brother... my grandmother for loosing a son out of 8 kids... his wife and kids...
    I only want to say that.....
    Sometimes God you are so unfair!!!

  2. Γλυκιά μου κουμπάρα, να ζεις να τη θυμάσαι ... και ναι, ο χρόνος δεν γιατρεύει τον πόνο, τον κάνει απλά πιο γλυκός!
