Barrier
Just meters away from the door's neon light,
Like an eternity in this dark place
A measurement of sighs past midnight,
The silence doesn't care about my face
The silence doesn't even glance at me
The silence is cold in all my ways
The silence condemns me to be free
The silence will be with me, all my days,
Despite the love, despite the burning flame,
Your radiance from my eyes must disappear,
From existence in the sphere of my frame
Your silence must cease to interfere
With the busy misery hidden in my smile,
I will never, to your grace, reconcile.
