Insomnia

Open my eyes just to see

that awake is my condition,

and realize that indeed

I accept my recognition.

With my sins I deserve,

I deserve it all,

the most cruel sentence

in the abyss to fall.

My life was perfect

as I've always thought,

but at the end of it

I'm feeling distraught.

This act of mine

was act of true love,

I was insecure at first 

but it came from above. 

Now I'm awake, 

awake from the dream,

my eternal insomnia

is keeping me scream.

The death I will bear, 

the end it is near.

Withouth any guilt 

I face it with no fear. 

She took her own life

then they blamed me,

but my heart is locked 

and only she has the key. 

My being has ended 

after her sudden death, 

but my words were clear,

loving her till my last breath. 

I can't wait to meet her

in the infinite space,

to hear her calm voice 

to feel her embrace. 

My insomnia will stop

and I'll start to sleep,

an everelasting dream, 

as long as her heart I keep.
