After you...

When the lightning lits the sea
and sets the sky on fire....
It reminds me of the rain...
slowly coming down on your pyre...

I asked myself that day..
why this void, why this unending emptiness??
My heart cried out....
accept it you have always loved this proud unhappiness!

You had come to me saying...
You expected nothing in return...
Why these tears then, why this void..
Why then does my heart, my soul burn??

I tried to shove you away...
But you were always there....
Even when I hurt you again and again...
You still showered me with such love! such care!

Is this love or insanity,I now often think to myself...
All I live with now.... are your memories and your smile on my shelf....

Be Happy.. Love Life!
