Remembering the days when I sang

Brings tears of nostalgia to my heart.

The separation between this moment

And the time that died in the arms of time

Is an abyss that pulls me into itself,

A canyon of darkness that in whispers tells me

That even memories will cease to be

And that all I will ever see

Is the sky getting farther away from me,

For I, and my love along with me, will forever fall

Into the abyss of what exists no more,

What has swallowed time and my long gone love.

I remember being surrounded by clouds of light,

By a glory that removed time from the scenario,

While fully immersing me in every aspect of it,

Freezing the state of my heart,

Making me believe it would last forever.

Long gone are those days now,

Gone the time when your presence was my essence,

An essence that has faded into the emptiness of missing,

An emptiness that knows nothing but your absence.

Now I roam the streets as if I were dreaming,

A somnambulist surrounded by nightmarish creatures,

By those who know not

What it is to be a ghost whose heart still pumps.

As a numb ghost, I still manage to feel sometimes though,

And as I wander I make sure each tear knows

That from my eyes it is free to forever fall.

Each tear comes with many others,

Flowing into my heart in attempt to drown its sorrow.

But my heart dies not, for it lives of these tears,

Tears that are mine, yours, and of eternity,

Tears that, like my love, will be swallowed by this abyss.
