To the one who awakened courage in my heart,
Who lifted the abyss from my mind,
Sending it to the heavens of your heart—
Like an apple from the tree, let it fall.
To the one I gave my heart,
We let our demons dance each night.
But none could tame their wild dance—
Piece by piece, we lost it all.
A love we cradled in our arms
Melted daily,
Like ice beneath a scorching sun.
To the one for whom I cried,
Like the rain in July,
I wonder now—
Do you recall?—The thin smoke of our late nights.
To the one I dreamed in my mind,
Illusion was my guide.
Blinded by your autumn eyes,
I linger still on the edge of your smile.
To the one and only I loved more than life,
Both of us, patients in the mental hospital,
A sorrowful journey for our hearts.
We each battled since the start.
To the one reciting poems every night,
Your words still echo in my empty halls,
Pain and love, same side of the coin,
Grasping one, you take both.
You, dear lie , you paid the rent,
One room, one bed,
Forever inside my tent.
