Learn To Love

Learn to love without missing someone

I feel that some days are just passing by

I can’t feel alive if I am not with someone

I have to learn without missing someone.

Learn to feel longing without craving their kisses

I need to learn to be free without craving caresses

I feel I can’t breathe if I’m not with that someone

My life is no more but a pile of ashes

Learn to yearn without feeling the pain 

I need to feel that I don’t need someone

However, that someone has stained my heart 

And I have stained many others to soothe the pain

Learn to look at someone in the eyes

I remember when I saw those eyes 

Profound brown as Earth’s guts

So profound my soul fell off, and it never came back

Learn to bear with desire when you’re craving for someone

My desire is unspoken 

It dies within my sealed mouth 

It never comes out when I’m in front of someone.

Learn to revive even when your heart is only a dead rose

I’m in need of Someone, but Someone never comes

Someone is so distant my soul and heart are stretched

I don’t know if they’ll support 

the tension or if they are going to be torn apart.
