How to fill in

How to fill in

The blank spaces

Of the time

You were not here yet? 

What meaning

Give to them? 

How can I turn into 

Amnesia

The endless flow

Of a bleeding soul? 

How to accept 

It is a time

That has never been ours 

A time that will 

Never be again?

A time lost

In the flow

Of this precious life

Millions of sacrificed seconds'

Breath 

A time locked 

In desparate limbos 

Of silence and darkness 

A negation 

A time of Sehnsucht 

A time of hope 

Wrapped in a pain 

Waiting for a dawn

A mirage in suspension 

A flower 

Stronger than ever

Bleeding 

In a never ending 

Cruel 

Winter
