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.
