So lonely, I dwell on the verge of my life,
It’s so unbearable, you see.
“Inside my confinement in the world of solitude,
Nobody misses me!”
I wait for you in the deserted harbour of the endless sea….
Nobody appears at the dead-end of this situation,
Gone are the days of celebration…
Now, like a corpse of an unknown bird,
I hang on and wait for my end!
In my solitude,
I crave affection
But everyone is here without any gratitude…
In this toxic world,
I need renunciation!
So helpless I am!!!
Without any affinity, I survive like a barren land sans fertility!
I wait, I long, I realize;
In the solitary cage of my soul, sans thee, I am alone to resist the tormenting suffocation…
