I Was In Pain

I was in pain 
while you ask me 
about the sneaking time.
As the sun is creeping 
on the sidelines 
of your home window,
illuminate every page of the book 
you reading are a widow.

Then really, they took 
despite you do not sit 
on the shady cloud climb.

I am friends with the rain 
and made friends with the dark.
They really talk 
without looking towards me.
Then I write the night 
to fight against the sun.
They scramble to write down 
the words of love 
in every book you read 
in every sense that you love for 
your life as in the time.
Rather profane than eternal was.
