Alexandra



My Dearest Alexandra,
I can hear the drops of your tears.
Your cheeks drenched with tears.
The echo of your cries is begging me not to sleep.

Sat on my bed and saw you.
In the corner of your head, you're dead.
Thumping of your heart that you dread,
Is keeping me watching you with eyes wide awake.

Emptiness is crawling.
I gasped and cried silently
As I watched you begged transparently.
And I can hear our muffled cries join together.

My Dearest Alexandra,
Why are you in that corner of the hall?
Why are you facing the blank empty wall?
I felt your hands colder than the ice touched your heart.

Cold wind envelopes my heart.
Why do we keep on burying ourselves?
We keep on forcing ourselves on some full shelves.
And here you are making me cry and realize my fall.

Alexandra, stop staying there.
Dry your tears and go get your nerves.
There's somewhere here you much deserve.
These black empty halls is not worth it for your tears.

My Dearest Alexandra,
You've got to stay away from all the evil.
You've got to do everything just to be agile.
Step on the spotlight and let me be dazed by the light.

Dearest Alexandra go now.
You won't be able to get some help.
Don't wait for me to kill you when I took my step.
Just go step into the daylight and let me go.
