Among Stars



Among stars you were the only one shining,
Watching you would make me stop breathing,
You told me words that made me believe in us
But it was a mirage that led to my loss,
Blinded by the illusions and possessed by unconsciousness,
I drowned myself in tears, running away from lightness.


But from deep inside, no healing, no drying,
Emptied my torn body, my stolen soul's bleeding
A child kept away from his dreams,
An elderly woman with embedded dark themes,
A sinking heart surrounded by sinister waves,
A flower deprived of water, living with the coldness of caves.


I could fall over and pass away the moment I heard it,
Unstoppable daggers would stab me and shade my wit,
The universe would become my enemy capturing me to hell,
Time had come to fight against my pain, I can hear the bell,
Buried, accompanied by a mouthful of poison and lie,
After having run or played dead your soul like mine will die.
