For you, my love only for you I painted autumn landscapes with thousands of colors over ashy mountains burned by my inner fire.

I painted you a blue sky under a golden sun reflected on giant mirrors of living water.
When my skies where as colorless as the eyes with which I looked at you.

I built trails so your feet wouldn't tire.
While I walked over paths of lust trying to make trails worthy of you to walk upon.

I killed every single woman in this world to show you that I only had eyes for you.
When behind your back and under the cover I gave my eyes, lips and passion to half of those women.

I recited you poems to your ear swearing that there was something about you hidden in them.
When every single word had the name of random women.

I composed you lullabies and I sang then to you as a poet.
When in my mind there was nothing but regret, a coward hiding behind doors, and a joust man trying to tear down that door to tell you things as they were.

You laid on my chest to hear the beating of my heart.
When in my chest I introduced a machine to mock the beat of a non-existent heart.

Every thought, every idea that you had, I broke my soul trying to make it happen rather than breaking your heart telling you the truth.

I loved you so much that I kept my hell to myself.  I put up a show of a fairytale before your eyes.

And is that you never deserved to see the other side of the coin.
I loved you with such intensity that I made up another reality to see you smile as much as I could.
But the body and soul of a mortal can only do so much..
And mine succumbed.

That's why when you were close to finding out I pushed you away and I left.
Because I prefer you staying with a good memory than with the bad mouth taste of my hell.

Because in the world there has never been, is, nor there'll never be someone purer than you.
My arms wont hold such light.
My eyes won't ever behold such paradise.
And I will never belong to someone else but you.
