Taken
Inside me, landscapes Godforsaken,
Empty holes of misery
Stretch and yawn for you were taken,
Taken away,
Away from me.
Where bloomed the lushest vegetation,
Oasis fed so tenderly,
Blackens and dies for you were taken,
Taken away,
Away from me.
I close my eyes and you awaken
In my dreaming fantasy,
The bubbles burst for you were taken,
Taken away,
Away from me.
My world inverted, cruelly shaken,
Rattles tears mournfully
And cries the rain for you were taken,
Taken away,
Away from me.
