Lonely
Searching for someone,
In the world of loneliness I find myself in
I wonder when the end will come
Stare in the vacuum
Forcing myself to listen to imaginary voices
Calling me to come
I put more chains around
Scared of loving alone
Of not being able to love
I become desperate and run after people
Do crazy things for them
In the hope I will be loved
The way I seek love
Like a shooting star
Burning itself to death
In the hope to rest
In the arms of beloved earth
I cut myself off from the world
Just to be the world of her.
Reach out my arms to embrace
I stumble upon my shadow.
Words I have spoken
Meaning they have drawn
Tears I have shed
Smiles they have stifled
Pain I have brought on
Joy they have buried
A blurred image I see
Death whispers lullaby
Darkening circles around hollow eyes
What a fool I have been
In the six yards I was cursed with
Dreamed to build a home
Grow a garden around
Nurse the flowers of life
Lay the carpet of blooming roses
On which she will walk home
Never shall reckon the truth
An obituary is written in six yards
Made, not the floating castles of love
Waiting for agony to end
I slowly stretch myself to measurement
