I always thought I was a beautiful cryer
When my eyes were red from all my tears
And I suddenly wasn’t hiding them anymore
All my sorrows and all my fears
But then you happened
And everything changed
My so-called perfect life
With my beautiful crying
Suddenly, got disarranged
The thoughtful sobbing stopped
Was replaced by endless screaming
Or sometimes just longing for air
In solitary moments
When I hope nobody’s seeing
What I’ve become
What is left when you went
What I borrowed from you
And what I simply lent
What I am without you
The rock bottom of my soul
My life, my heart, my mind
Which never again will be whole
Eventually, someone will try to fill the gap
But they’ll never succeed
When I will only find my peace
Cradled in your lap
On the day I too will leave
