Pain of Love

when the heart cracks
the whole body trembles in disguise
When a heart breaks
only tears glue broken pieces
it is a spear pierced in the middle of a life

I now know the kicks of love
that has no defence
the tricks and pain of love
I now know the rain of love
I here wear this dehydrated face
sweat is simply a sign of separation

Love is a path heading to no directions
you know it was wrong and long when you kiss it's burning base
when you realise you are dead but living

And when a heart leaks
It is the entire human souls with sores
that scratches does deepen it
And when a man cry
It is more than a funeral in hell
His heart becomes a cell
it becomes an ax, an exception to human affection

My heart is now a river I surf on
A lake I have drowned in
an ocean that washes my dirty self
A mirror that break my bones into dust
and no lust lasting in me anymore

Am I a prodigal son
The only masculine devil that feels the heat of the sun
that get carried by the warm wind blowing from the south

Am I a chameleon
whose journey to happiness costs a million sad steps ?
