All alone and frantic I lie
On the edge of life, I'm tied
One last breath and life's about to fly
To an eternal journey, they sigh.
My frigid soul gazing at me
Little does it know I'm in grief
There's a huge void in my heart
Can it be refilled with some warmth?
The Earthly gods in white coats; my saviour
Melting their blood and sweat for inhumane hours
There's a tear in my half-opened eye
I don't know if it will dwell or die?
Can I wake to another sunlit day?
Or sleep a few twilight hours?
The little joys of dear life
Where will I search for you in this abyss?
At last everything's slipping away
The smell of blood and the panicky silence
Everything's a blur in my brain
My soul started flying like a feather in blue sky.
Don't keep flowers on my grave and weep
Don't say I was a gem you could keep
Touch my soul and feel me please!
For we all leave one day in peace.
And one day my soul shall rise above all Like a window to the wounded soul
I wonder if I would turn into a twinkling star
But the starry night I slept at was the heaven I truly had!
