I feel the need to grieve and weep uncontrollably
I feel as if my energy is being drained out of me ounce after ounce,
And my spirit has lost it's fair complexion
My heart feels dry and cold, and I cannot stop shivering
I have lost my petals to your spring-summer serenity,
And I watch myself fail as I realise I only bloom in winter
My fruits can no longer grow anymore because my roots do not know your foreign soil
I prefer loneliness than the warmth of your misery
