Despite myself
|
I make the most of this long sleepless night
|
To jot down these lines
|
We say that the heart has its reasons,
|
That reason doesn't always understand
|
I hope mine isn't lost
|
I will have needed time to understand
|
To write to help me come out of this mist
|
To know how to find the right words
|
Even though I'm aware that you won't read them
|
But I know you are here !
|
I feel your gaze turn on me,
|
But what does it matter ?
|
I have to empty my mind, make my heart cry
|
What could I have done to help you ?
|
I would have covered you with my skin
|
If I had been able to remove it...
|
Just to warm up you
|
In your shaking arms, I would have rolled off my strength
|
So that you might defend yourself
|
Pierced by pain
|
Your body would have passed through mine
|
And we would have shared it
|
But now, I have to relearn to live... Whithout you
|
Afflicted by much sorrow
|
I try to cross life...
|
To have been able to write all these thoughts
|
Which obsess and torment me,
|
Relieves my conscience
|
I only have to forget everything,
|
Start anew
|
And give my life a new meaning...
