Comes that unknown thing
Like a forgotten arrow
Straight to my heart
And I cry and laugh without meaning to,
Never been so lost,
Poor me so empty.
What is that light that blinds me,
That maddens, stuns,
That comes from within and invades me.
That troubles if it comes,
But hurts when it leaves
With relief and longing.
Comes that thing that is so strange,
To give me a knot that undoes
A sweetness that tastes bitter.
And I, small and colossal,
In a body that does not give in
To such a large narrowness.
What is that fun that's so serious,
That corrodes me to the bone,
And burns 'cause it's so cold.
Gives me everything, even misery,
Come my love, because I can't
Live like this another day.
