Mere Light
Short struggle
Fading with failure
Results in a long run pain
Ruptured heart
Why won’t it fade out?
Keeps on burning ablaze
Over and over again
Fallen life running from its image
Being long and deserted
Intense hopelessness
Touches inside myself
Why?
Heat’s burning.
Today once again
Fighting with the past
I’m waiting a mere light
Swallowing drug dark as night
I’m unconscious in the crowd.
I don’t know, I won’t understand
Deep is the cut
I’ll say nothing, talk nothing.
My nights, insomniac
I don’t know, I won’t understand
Hollow are the peaks
Today once again
I, being so silent
Hearing a speechless speech
In walking sun
I, waiting death
As I’m cutting my veins.
