DESPERATION ROAD

Nights are long in the freezing winter where I remain

Where there are no springs, no summers

Only autumns and winters, in this lonely and

Abandoned road where the train I want to get on never comes

Lons is the wait to see again the smile you once dropped

In my sad and cold heart. A warm smile that made my hopes

Come black to life.

But when I hear the wood cracking in the cold wind

And the branches of the old trees, surrounding me,

In the abandoned road I cannot leave, because of my fear….

The I feel like dying, and I heaven’t been free to live yet,

As I stare at the graveyard I wish I was there

Among the dead, waiting to die

While I’m listening to their rest I think I can’t feel a beat

Of my dead heart, I feel and I think, but I don’t exist.

And people don’t know whether I live or die.

I hear the train and I lean forward to see over the wall

And I run to get beyond the door of solitude

Of quiet, of desperation and suicide.

And then the train opens its doors. And there you are.
