When love dies...

Светик Петрова
After so many hours we spent together,
After so many precious words we shared,
Many times you asked me ''sweet, If ever…’’,
I forced a smile but my heart just bled.
I played for time to let things flow,
I loved you fiercely like wild bird of prey,
Wrapped you in my love from head to toes,
Plunged in darkness and the light of day…
When love dies in eyes sweeter than sugar,
When loving heart is broken like this,
Fingertips are stuck in tar instead of nougat,
Northern wind brings cold of farewell kiss.
Feels like sun has stopped to shine,
Leaden clouds darken bliss of day,
Seems I`ve lost my vision, sneaking blind,
Stumbling over the stones scattered on my way.
When love dies, everything loses its meaning,
You fall astray in places of your childhood,
You start confusing morning with the evening,
Yielding to the changes of your fickle mood.
''If ever…''`s beating in your temples,
So loud, talking to your common sense,
Memories of bygone minutes make you tremble
Involving you in rhythm of oblivion dance.
Who killed this love still quivering in fingers?
Who said ''it`s over'' when it was still alive?
Who was afraid to walk on broken glass splinters?
Who wasn`t ready for the two hearts sacrifice?..
Look at me, I love you madly like before,
I`m lonesome birdie craving for the sunrise,
My wings are whole but with nagging sore,
I`m dying for the flight in deep blue skies.
When love dies in your handsome eyes…
When empty sounds fill your aching body space,
Is it easy to distinguish truth from lies?
It is so easy to erase from memory your face?
When loves dies… I don`t wanna know this,
I`d better choose to fall from up above,
I`d better love you secretly with clenched fists,
But never giving up on love…
