I rip from the sheets of my bed the stories of defeats I tear them away from the smiling throat that bleeds
One motion of my hand and tenderness is leaving And you wait patiently till it stops beating Stops pumping, feeling and causing dreadful pain Requests get stuck in larynx, Crush it with their weight For so many years... never... never told! There was only one such a day On which I saw Happiness in your eyes Still and gazing at who knows what, oh what! And so little did you need to restore your peace of mind
In your clenched fist You try to hide your fingers I ask about the sky You say nothing! Hear your heavy breathing... Oh Dad, say something!
I'd like to offer you Freedom, respect and fame Almost everywhere, I will recognize your name Mouth becomes filled up with blood that runs in a hurry To congeal in the cold floor
There was only one such a day On which I saw Happiness in your eyes Still and gazing at who knows what, oh what! And so little did you need To restore your peace of mind
