I do not Love

 
I am not entertained by life, anymore.
I am unimpressed.
Life is nothing to me these days.
It’s time we went our separate ways.

I am not entertained by life, anymore.
I am most unimpressed.
I cannot bear the pain any longer
That what kills me makes you stronger
But I do not want you to cry for me
If I ride for eternity.

My heart has become a prison.
I do not love. I do not love…
I do not love,
While I feel silk in your name.
I do not love,
While I feel you are a summer storm.
I do not love,
While I am dancing in your rain
I do not love,
While you are the sun that keeps me warm.
I do not love,
But if the lightning strikes me down,
If in your rain I ever drown,
Remember that I do not love you,
But would die a thousand merciless deaths
Spend all my final breaths
In that strike upon my breast—
And pray in your heart to rest.
