A Remaining Light

(Music background: Valsa da Dor)

I do not know what to feel anymore
All that despair, the anguish, ash ...
I can not hear anything else...
My eyes close, my mouth shut, my fingers shrink.
My throat dries and my lips tremble,
Would it be fear? Would it be desire? Would it be pain?
Would it be...?
I wanted to, I could not ... Every day.
My words do not convince anymore, I feel dumb, mute.
My eyes do not hypnotize anymore, I feel blind.
My touch does not shiver anymore, I feel invisible.
Only my desire manifests itself, but it confuses.
It expresses itself, but it is silent. How can it be?
A candle is all that remains of light outside my darkness.
Because Inside of me I still have the strongest light.
The light of love.
