Time is Pain

Time is pain

Time is pain, a stream of tears
Time is love, my life a desert love

Love, shadow, cruel instinct, down
Why? Why need love? Dry desire

It’s not a home, fleeting rainbow
Hmm, where are my years? Limited

No angel in my life, but the Satan
Love, far, I am saved, Hell gives time

Demonic love. Emptiness, can’t find
Emptiness. Can’t find. This life is ashes

I can’t find love here, nor in hell’s life
This life is a daily grind. Dust. Pot hole

In the deep, deep glittering dark, mine
Unloved pure desire, your crystal

Just a broken wine glass, red, dry
Dirty, passed time, the memories

Just drink. Thinking. About a heart
Tail. A shimmer beyond misty dazzle

Why must I live this?
Suffering from darks

All
One

Needed
The
One

Time
Want to be

Alone
No one

Time
Pain

Past
One
