Wounds I Received



Wounds I Received


Say that the night still passes in the eyes
Your memory is still there,say it
I too could not learn the art of losing it
He could not also know how to leave me


He was lying very politely
If I didn't trust, what else would you do
Where will you go leaving me alive
If I die first, you will go too


The grief of time forced me otherwise
It was my wish to wish for you only
The heart started to avoid his existence
He is wild but he has agreed to what I have said



So many wounds I have received from this love
I'm thinking of telling him but will he let me go?
I still remember this feeling of sadness
Today it is an illusion for me whose existence
