This heart of mine
remembers you softly

Despite the dagger
you thrusted into it

And the gushing blood
after your departure

I am repaying my
wounded soul a visit

A distant voice tells me
“I am no longer welcome here”

I welcomed madness
with open wrists

I spent my nights
alone
without loneliness

I waited for you
with a longing-pain

I wanted my soul
to be laced with yours,

but your soul
doesn’t yearn for mine

I am the lone moon
trying to reflect my light
through your window,
but you’ve shut
the curtains, long ago

I am the fallen eyelash
on your cheek,
but you threw me away
with the merciless wind

I am all the dreams
you’ve had at night,  
but have forgotten
in the morning

Love
is the glowing flame,
and you melt
as it approaches

Listen,
be careful
with that flame,
or it’ll burn you
when that love
starts to sting

They’ll decide to leave you,
and you’ll remain with nothing,
but the fading ashes of that love  

You’ll lose the passing-by warmth
that once visited your frigid heart

So light up a cigarette,
and put out the ongoing fire
inside your chest with smoke

I take a pill,
and wait for it
to doze me off

I take double the dose,
there’s no need to wait

Now, I’m holding
a bottle filled with
promised
goodnight sleeps

I’ll swallow a pill
for each night I stayed up
suffocating  
instead of dreaming
