Erasing your name

Gregoria

Erasing your name from my memory grave

I'm losing my breath and the air I crave.

I am suffocating like people being high,

One question is pulsing in my mind:" Lord,  why?"

Why couldn't I live not knowing this sense?

Why should I be transformed, not having the chance?

Why to be missing you, who's not giving a damn,

And consider the wrong one to be my ideal man?

Why didn't I listen to you, saying truth

We shouldn't go further, for there won't be an excuse

For those violating their principles and laws

The answer is absent...the answer's :

" Because".

Because without you I was like a plant,

That's lost all its roots and was falling apart,

Exhausted from dryness, yet wanting to bloom,

Having an alive heart , imprisoned in a tomb.

Still hoping for rains and still wanting to give

To grant all saved love, and to spend all achieved,

To break all the walls that I have been kept in

And to open up to the force that can shine from within.

A sad transformation , the heart's gonna die

In the impossibility to answer this " why"...

I used to be a worm , never looking at the sky...

But someone out there needs me to be a butterfly 🦋.
