I Miss You

Missing you and thinking of you, 

bound by loneliness,

crowded and leaking

of despair,

my heart beats fast,

I suffer in my absence,

I will wait for you,

please come back!

How to Survive

It is as if my wound has become entangled and tangled,

and you are the cause of the wound and the pain.

How can I survive your passion when you are my murderer?

How can I abandon your love when you are my desire?

Nostalgia

Nostalgia weighs on my heart and my soul.

I cannot hide it.

I roam the valleys of passion.

I cry on the sidewalks of separation.

I find no refuge from the sting of love.

Reality

"Reality is indisputable,

it storms souls relentlessly,

there is no escape from it, no harbor of safety.

It emerges at the last moment as a written destiny,

and words are unable to describe it,

and tears fail their eyes,

and the reality remains, and the truth is frightening."
