Till Death Do Us Part

Forget me not, for I am lonely without you

Highs and lows for all these years with you
Like a shadow, I followed you night and day
Without you with me, I may as well die.

 

Inner secrets, sweet and sour, we share
Are hard to believe we went through in life
It is only you I can trust, for all our sins
To share the joys, without any bounds
 
You are the only one I know in full so far
It feels as if you are my reflection in the mirror
Or, my inner voice, whispering commands,
Right and wrong, without any shame
 
We took an oath of honor, love, and bondage
Partner for life, you are the only one
Will never share that sacred feeling
With any one, even if I am alone for good
 

I know, the untold promise written in blood

Every drop flowing through the heart and veins
For all the past, and the glorious plans
For the years to come, we made on the day One

Yes, I miss you, and cannot see you cry,
If we go apart, for ever, and ever
Kith and kin do loose each other
Without fail some time, sooner or later
 

Don’t you realize - there is an end

To every thing, big and small,
For that is the edict for all
From the real big power over all 

Hey tell me… tell me … tell me, right now
Tell me the real truth, once for all
Who you are, and why you are
The one I need for the times to come
Are you my life?
I mean, the reason I breathe
Or, the life of all the years I had
To cherish the role I played on stage
 
Are you my soul?
Heartless with no pleasures or pain
Not to die with me, but go on forever
Looking for a new abode, again and again
 
Are you just an illusion?
Born out of my mental gymnastics
Product of the brain factory
And no semblance to reality
 
You as my soul is my creation
And, not the work of a magician
Making all of it from nothing at all
Creator of the Creator is just my dream
 

To be free from me, and the web of my love

Alone at last is truly a wish never to come true
For I can release you, free forever
If that is what you want any time at all
 
I will let you free, and freeze the time
Kiss you goodbye, the kiss of death
Cherish my love, and live loving the life
For it lasts, only as long as we are in love
