the balance



I'm dreaming of awareness
I'm dying for life
my lover born in me tonight
I see,I'm his wife
wondering how could you stay
not a day bot age
when your heart bit song bounded
in the silences cage
*
I'm aware of my dreaming
Im living like dead
there's a whisper of a termite
in a lonely bed
wondering how could you leave me
if you loved me so
but you are my grave stone, no place to go
