And Now That You Are Deceased

Dear beloved friend And now that you're deceased There is no more communication Between you and me, since you’re no longer alive You are hence in God’s hands You who were so brave, chic, tender, and strong I can only express a lot of grieving emotions. I am very sad; things are not the same The roses are hardly beautiful. I blaspheme I cry and I miss you under this deserted sky You dominate everything I do, you occupy my thoughts You direct my actions, I cannot live without you I'm scared. Now, there is no other choice. Everything bugs me, everything annoys me: Sunset, sunrise, the church bells The light of the moon, and even the laughter of The passerby I'm no longer the same person, I'm like a lover Who lost his fiancée. I am in mourning from the earliest chirping of the birds Until the last chant of the roosters. I'm petrified, I cannot eat. I can hardly digest my saliva I cannot sleep without swallowing some pills The days are long and difficult, and my life has totally changed. Dear beloved angel Since your last breath Everything bothers me, there is no future No excuses to smile No reasons to laugh Everything is different The moon, the flowers, the children The passerby and the merchants I am also dead since you left.
