Two legacies

You left me, sweet, two legacies,

A legacy of love

A Heavenly Father would content,

Had He the offer of;

You left me boundaries of pain

Capacious as the sea,
Between eternity and time,

Your consciousness and me.

How...

How do I keep melancholy from my door,

When in this beating heart sadness lies forlorn?

Should I fly to the daily happenings,

And escape from this darkened lonely room?

No surgeon could remove the damage done,

Or replace it with the joy I once knew.

Happiness, like time, is so fleeting,

And when it is gone you cannot renew.

No tomorrows can lift this burdens weight

That wraps around me like sorrows old clothes.

My eyes no longer find the tears within,

Or see the beauty in a full bloomed rose.

The cloak of despair tries to cover me,

As if to bury me in my anguish.

Leaving no relief from this burning pain,

That I could ever in life extinguish.

Lonely...

و آنگاه که می پندارم

هرگز دگر بار تو را نخواهم دید

اشکهای اندوه من فرو میریزند

و آنگاه در چشم من این زندگی

چه بی مقدار جلوه میکند
