THE COFFIN SELLER
The love between the coffin and corpse,
the ocean and the ocean tide,
Look at the affection
between darkness and light,
the night in the company of the moon
and stars.
The love between death and life,
Everything that chose to live will taste death.
Imagine love like a melody,
Just like the song you sing and get lost inside it, love like jokes,
love like a comedy,
Imagine love like a drug,
Love like addition,
Something that kills,
maybe you think it's fiction,
the love you can't do without,
love like a weakness
Love that gives strength and tales weakness down
Think about love that brings tears,
Love that was not made to work out,
Imagine loving and forgetting how it feels
to be broken, only to slip down
and get shattered
The love that broke you,
fixed you, just to break you again
Love like a movie with many characters,
Some people are heroes,
and many are valiant,
That love that will tease you,
Push you without touching you
until you fall deeply inside it
Have you seen the love that is cheap?
The type you get from smilling
Whether you fake it or not
But the aura you carry
won't make them see beyond the smile, That is love. Maybe it hurts
Or sometimes it's lust, maybe we're lost.
