Through sleepless night my demon plays A discreet prelude soundless and damp Only to show the song it never able to sing For its voice was tombstone as heavy as life
They said, find a demon who walks with yours And since we can neither walk nor sing a song We shall exchange letters in various forms I will write my blood into words and yours into notes
And in the letters you sent to me at night Are countable melodies that turn into bats Which morph my nocturnal agony into dreamless ballad With uncertainty of a sincerity I can never pay back
We are in different worlds but our demons are in the same It was your countless letters of wordless phrases Which keep us sane in a dying perfumed universe Of self-abhorrence and longing never attained
And in my contemplation towards my ancient lover still I came to reek that immortality and eternity Are just unrequited sorrow for stories and blatant history Of unfathomed longing never has been fulfilled
In a sorority painted by degraded hopes Nothing mattered anymore as long as we walk Upon the different dreams and on the same pavements Caged by cracking skin and melted bones
And when we meet again in the letters Or in outnumbered dreams I hope it would be a blessed hell Instead of broken old tales
