Abandoned

Treasonous heart, burn in flames! Take back your frame, which is now my torment; this portrait that decorated our room, now burns my eyes, bathed in tears. Take back this fatal treasure, which I adored every day and gave me warmth. Take everything back. Your ghost troubles my timid courage, even in the clouds, I see the gaze of a deceiver, perfidious. You taught me how to love and now, how to hate! You broke everything without fear, without efforts. Was it the work of a novice cruelty, or a simple unhappy heart? And take back all these love notes littering my house. If you dare to read them at least have the courage to admit 'it's not me'. "You're the keeper of my heart, You are the sweetness of my life; For you I would go to war. Like the first rays of the sun your sweetness wakes me from my sleep. The exquisite vision of your face Take me on a tender journey. I love you, passionately. How to live without breathing you! I want, with you, to dance in your arms forever." You still want to burn and misguide, borrow other people's eloquence. Oh how far you've travelled away from me in such short notice! Take back time too, I hate witnesses.
