TO LIVE

It's been a good while
That I no longer know
What is sleep?
I close my eyes...

But slowly I feel
Discomfort without sleep
Afflicting me... The silence of the house...
The feeling of being here alone
Without you, just an emptiness
Hit hard, hard
Suffocating squeezing
Inside, inside my chest...

I don't know for sure, but not everything is correct
It's something related that one can blindly trust
Lies, I really don't know
It hurts a lot, a lot between my veins
The feeling of being broken
Every connection in this heart
Connected to my life, okay…

Okay... Painful sensation
That one day...
Slowly still...
I'm trying to live...
