My Fall
I can�t remember life before loving you.
I once thought this a glorious blessing,
which would keep me near, beside you.
Now I know fate to darkness my heart was cursing!
I�ve been abandoned to myself
and left in the cold to hide and die.
Your gaze far away from mine fell,
and I cannot find what I left behind.
Now all I can ever do is hide,
keeping quiet what was never said
of this passion which inspired a life
which now might as well be dead.
I can see it all in your eyes:
how you don�t understand what you�ve done.
You feel fast-approaching my last sigh
and you reach out a hand to what is already gone.
I feel myself falling into nothingness,
unable to move, to cry, to scream.
I fall in a terrified silence
knowing the emptiness my future shall bring.
In my last fleeting moments,
hoping for a quick end to this black abyss,
one single thought brings its torment:
can what was never had be missed?
