Where everything is sorrow

[...The illusion of a warm light  
and then the night falls  
where "Everything is sorrow."...]

 
We try to erase pain  
memories fade into oblivion  
 
An invisible force sweeps  
entire portions of brain  
Cauterize curing dissolving  
 
Pitiful lobotomy of time that rolls  
time heals, almost always  
almost always ...  
 
I roamed for a long time  
lost in confusion  
decomposed with feelings  
about your demise  
 
Giddy with view of death  
claustrophobic oppression  
in a closed room, without air  
 
Darkness hurt and torned  
by thin shafts of light  
from cracks in the shutters  
 
The white skin of your breasts  
now still and cold  
and those blue lips  
I kissed so much  
 
No, I didn't remember the pain  
sorrow so close to insanity  
the time of bitter tears  
swallowed by a black hole of suffering  
 
All that was stolen from me  
not even the agony of pain  
I'm allowed to keep  
 
There remained only a lifeless body  
poignant image of who I loved  
 
Everything so precarious and futile  
only certainties: death and grief  
 
buried dead may know the reasons
but they can't say nothing  
with the mouth full of ground  
 
The illusion of a warm light  
and then the night falls  
where Everything is sorrow.
