Before your eyes I shall die
like a mist, when the sun-rays lie upon the riverbanks
in the morning, for I shall never wait longer than I can live
the days of my life are falling short on every hour passed
and I’ve spent most of them in sorrowful moments
learning how to love something that doesn’t have a heart
yes I know, some things are impossible, but let me tell you
I’ve seen flowers that live and blossom under the sun
and the ones that can breathe and dance under the ocean
but you are the only that can settle and flourish with in my heart
and drag me gentle away from the oblivion
the glow of my limerence is far further beyond ineffable
but soon to die when the end comes forth my soul
