Silver Wall

She is my maiden of truth

in the born tissue of nature.

She keeps me shimmering and clean

from the misfortunes of life.

Beautiful to a point when the sun is my sister.

She, who glares seeks answers in me.

I, who have neither time nor breath

will manifest her mortifying mouth and shape.

She stays with me all day, keeps me company,

I adore until he…

 

He comes only when the sun is set high,

when souls are free and water translucent.

He holds her hand and kisses the lips

that will never be mine.

She sees me yet not.

I see, cannot escape the shades my sister makes in revenge.

I can’t help but see the echo.

I cannot listen to the moans that should have been mine

and the body touched by me, I shatter

 

The villain leaves her lonesome.

I am to pick up her pieces, be strong for her.

Tell me, is this fair, reflection is my only caress,

she will not grant my wishes…shatter me.

Pain with the withering skies of my cousins,

she’s crying, torture of eye.

Let the leaves go, my friends, comfort me,

am I the only one?

She sits there alone thinking of him while I look at her.

Sometimes she comes close, looks at me and cries,

she touches my chest, I shiver,

I wish my mind could escape and explain all I feel.

 

On the 13th of snows she looked at me for the last time.

She gave me her blood as she angered and

broke me to pieces. I will never see the whole of her again,

all I see now are bits of a past I longed for…

She never sees me anymore but I adore

and I hear the endless moans of the villain

filling my reflection…
