The void between us

Alone in this room,

you stand at my door.

You kiss me on my lips,

I feel you, do you?

Time suddenly stops,

your flavor is too strong,

my heart beats so hard,

you free yourself too.

Remember your hands,

my garden in bloom,

your foolish and lost love.

On that bed of thorns,

I want back your soul.

Forget me and my smell,

I won’t ask you so.

The finding still hurts,

reality is harsh,

that’s pitch-dark and still,

the void between us.
