when you look into my eyes,

my tears don't lie

so many shrapnels in

my heart and I don't know why

I don't want to believe

it's true that you're gone,

or maybe that's why

I'm hearing the cry of the dawn

My mind rewinds

and I remember the times

we used to laugh endlessly,

and my chest broadened

with the bravery of my heart

only you could hear the song

of my pulse,

and I would play you like

 a harp with comedy,

till everlasting tunes of happiness

could be heard from

your soul rejoicing,

glad that we had found each other

But your being vanishes,

in the fiendishness of time

and my will turns to dust

and my whole life drowns

in the quicksand of shame

There was no magic of gallantry

since you left,

no immortality,

my soul died and still continues to die,

there was no ailment

to heal my wounds

only your name

I remain breathless

there's no air,

I'm dying of suffocation,

but I can tell from the

frown of the clouds,

that you shall no longer come back,

so I have to move on,

goodbye.
