Love is both happiness and pain...

They tell me:
there is no such love.
They tell me:
live like everyone else,
just like everyone else!
You want too much,
there are no such people.
You're just wasting your time
and everyone else's!
They say: don't be sad for nothing,
don't waste your time not eating or sleeping,
don't be silly!
You'll give in anyway.
So it's better to give in now
right now!
…But it exists!
It does.
It does.
And it's here,
here,
here.
in my heart
it lives as a warm little bird,
in my veins
it flows like burning lead.
It is she – the light in my eyes.
It is she - the salt in my tears.
my sight, my hearing,
my terrible strength.
my sun,
my mountains, my seas!
Protection from oblivion,
armor against lies and beliefs….
If she is not here,
then I will not be here!
…And they tell me:
there is no such love.
They tell me:
live like everyone else,
just like everyone else!
But I won't let anyone
extinguish my soul
And I live like everyone else
and someday
everyone will live! (c)
