I learned to be silent, to be alone
when the pain takes my breath away.
When I want to scream without shouting,
but for the world, to hear me, to hear me...
it tears my heart.


How I die, I die now,
without your love, without your caress,
how quiet sadness overwhelms me
and silently pushes me to the abyss.


When the raindrops,
tired, stop in my eyes,
When my soul, dead,
rises at every rinsing
of a bird lost in the dark,
and hope, this false hope,
touches me with meek anticipation,
Then I understand that you will not come.


Wrapped in the black cloak of the night, you
sink invisible, speechless, secretive,
but I, I have learned to be silent….
and wait.
