Sincerity

The Image of an Ideal

Where do I begin

To tell a story of

Hate and love?

Mellow melodies

Cannot hide

My emotional storm.

 

I walked on

The fine line

Between death and life

Just to avoid

That free fall of

My darling you,

My dream.

 

I cannot tell

How plain this dream is.

Yet I cannot let go

For

If I let go

I lose all.

 

Oh lord,

Save me.

Save me!

My eyes should

Have been blind.

I have been walking

Forever in that

Quiet green garden.

But I never knew

I came from hell.

 

Till now.

 

But darling,

I will still sing and play

For you,

With all that I am

With all that I have.

 

The pinkness of my lips

Once lost their color

For you.

I live a life

Given by you.

 

But darling,

Don’t you see?

I was one of those

Who died for you?

For you,

For our dream.

 

I will stay here

Where you belong

Till you come back.

I will see you

Live a life

Richer and longer

Than mine.

I will see

Your sorrow and joy.

I will cry and fall

For you

Again.

 

When you come back,

I move closer

To my dream

To be with you.

And I am ready

To fly with you

To our dream land,

Our home.
