I WANT TO FORGET THAT DAY

I want to forget that day,

Remember the kiss I stole,

Lips which dared betray

The silent death of my soul... 

And...

I want to forget our great velvet years,

Remember the words you said before

You pierced me with your nefarious spears

And then left me bleeding on the shore...

Now...

I am carried away on the wave of a dream,

And by dreaming, I surrender my soul to you...

I float, burn like desire in a scorching scream,

And by screaming, I excise the gloomy view...

And...

I am reborn now for the sake of the sea

Following the beam of a shimmering light...

And I crave for this love showering on me

Promises of eternal waves of delight...
