The cold hard blowing of an unforgiving wind destroys my stamina, yet the sun shines brightly.
Shining upon my weak and fragile defenseless body
The light burns my skin, my vision is unaffected, for the light doesn’t affect my eyes
But other than that ray glowing on my eyes, I wisely decide to look for others.
There are none.


Enveloped in a sea of nothingness, no feelings to hide because there are no feelings to have.
Emotionless and no movement, I tend to think for a reason
Maybe this reason will propel me to that ray
Although, for hours, I stay in that one position
Thinking of a reason, it comes to me
There are none.


I guess I switched that light off, that filled everywhere.
Each day to me was summer and now my life is a blizzard.
With nowhere to go, I sit by the window and watch everything fall apart
But as I look closer I notice something, no smiling faces in the reflection
There are none.


Maybe if I told the truth of my sorrow, and the pain for my doings
Although they were wrong, I did them, and the consequences are too extreme
I can’t take another second of this you gave me my earthly joy.
That seems to be the reason, for the light is getting closer
There are other reasons, but this one sticks out the most,
It is that
There are others, yet you are
The Only One That I Love.
