One Morning
one morning I found myself dead in bed,
although I tried to wake him up
he didn’t open his eyes
I banged him on his chest
shook him hard
yelled in his ears
slapped his pale cheeks
but he didn’t open his eyes
as time goes by I became uneasier
for I lost the way and didn’t know
what to do, I screamed for help
but it didn’t do any good
the only thing I could do was to cry,
I wept, and when a drop of tear
wet his cheek he opened the eyes
but these eyes were without a present or future,
the eyes full of the detestable past
