Death without death

Except one dream

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

I let the sea lead me to the depths

When I committed suicide I had no mercy

My life is full of discord

And the storms made it like a drowning wave

I didn't know I needed to deduce

Some words to expel the longings

From my heart and teach them the meaning of reconciliation

Because I have no one to show me the fire of burning

Because my nightmare has been revealed and my dream has awakened

To the memory of screaming I long for his love Is there a covenant that will save me and guide me to the path of freedom? All my dreams have declared their split

Except for one dream that has declared its bias

In my liver and separation has not removed it

Ah, my flowing tears

Made me lose the race

And raised the range to drown

I didn't know that there was a covenant in my heart

Capable of making my dream go to the horizon

All I know is that my sadness has awakened

And made me long for my aunt

His memory still haunts my mind

Can he resist until he wakes up?

I fell into a coma that was never mine

To the point where I could no longer bear to pretend?

And so I never wanted to break through

So don't touch me tomorrow I wake up yearning

And I declare that the fire of determination covered the eyes

And made it a collar around the necks

This is my path so let's go

And now I died without dying

To empty my sorrow

And I did not know that he was alive and well

Until I felt my tears flowing
