Questions in the night

Products of my insomnia

I lie here,

Thinking of how much longer I have,

How each breath could be my shallow last,

And each line, my dying declaration.

I’ve known no product of love,

For I am a lonely child,

The one who walks in innocence,

For I am the only one.

I wait for the day I feel lips against mine,

The day I can finally know the feeling of love,

Though I fear I’m fading,

Into the grave so deeply dug.

So as my breaths grow ever shallow,

Send me off with my one dying wish,

That I may prolong the crimson in my lips,

And finally know the thing called love.

(2014)
