"The traveler"



Still feeling love’s bitter kiss,
on these grey and darken day,
like being caught in something,
I can’t wake up from,
shaking myself in a fever’s dream,
nothing can cool down my desire,
I’m so far away from home,
so far away from bliss …

Never thought it could come to this,
you turned your back on me,
closing the door and I know,
you – the last time for me to see,
my knees were going weak,
and so hard to breathe,
when something’s pulling my heart out …

The asphalt wet and cold,
rain pouring down my face,
like a sad message from destiny,
pointing to a bad direction,
showing me my new place,
for so long …

I became a traveler in time,
passing the worlds,
missing the hours you were mine,
a traveler in time,
watching from the distance,
passing the worlds,
and crossing the thin red line …

Watching my life passing by,
hunger for a feeling,
but it really makes no sense,
and I have to remind myself,
being hard,
being strong,
building up my self-defense …

A traveler in time,
watching from the distance,
a traveler in time,
passing the worlds,
crossing the thin red line …
