A Lover's Life

A Lover's life  

I wouldn't be alive to ink the words
The words that may wrench your heart, 
And you wouldn't be reading with this solace, 
If I haven't poured these words this soft.
Died that night a lover, still laying hopeful 
What's the life of a lover? All devastated!
If you're a human, you're already a lover
What awaits you is the pilgrimage 
That may lead to self-discovery  
How's a lover being with the love?
Exotic to him is a realm outside of his own
What he only knows is his love 
Eternally, ready to be slain  
And, you know what's a lover's life?
 Uncertain, unimaginably wrenched  
Who hasn't been devastated? 
In this realm, none is untouched by love 
That's a life,  a lover's life
 Better to be concealed from this realm.
