Please don’t leave me
Now that you have been too dear
To me, though it might be queer to say that
You have been a huge part of my life
(even if your purpose remains unclear)
You have already struck my heart like cupid
It’s just that
You shot me not with an arrow
But with a spear
–
Like a javelin thrown with such tremendous force
That I didn’t have much time to prepare
For it, and I can only do nothing (for I am not aware)
But to shed a tear
A tear not of pain
Not of anger
Nor sorrow
But of joy
Joy of knowing that somewhere,
Someone is thinking of me
Joy of knowing that for someone, I am special
And it makes me feel special, and anyone can see it
For loving someone gives happiness in parts
But being loved back is the soul of the art.
–
But what happened to all of these?
Why does it have to rain
Whilst a child is still enjoying the sun?
Why does it have to turn into a drastic nightmare
And tear my heart apart?
Not only my heart but also my soul and
Everything that completes me, I lost
All the emotions that I tried to keep
Safe from harm, ruined
My visions of the future, our future and
Everything else that lies ahead of us.
What emptiness awaits me? I dread
Of becoming a mere vessel, without a soul
Without any chance of being whole.
–
Alas, the time has come for your departure
I don’t mean to be rude but
Is it not right for a soul to hold on and not let go?
Do you really have to leave this heart you have encaptured?
And now leave me in rapture
But did not dare to mend me
Because you cannot touch me
And I cannot touch you either
Because you are only a ghost
And I am only human.
And now I am left with one solution
To end this confusion I would give up everything
Just to stay forever in this illusion
Because to live without you makes life not worth living
And every moment turns to grieving.
–
And now for once in this winter
I feel warmth from deep within
The sadness starts to fade and
All the pain that has been
Turned back to joy
For I know that on the other side
You wait for my arrival
Along with all the emotions I lost
On the garden by the sea
And that we will be together
For all eternity
And for all eternity it shall be.
