Feeling Too Much

Tom, can you hear the sun's ray

rustling in your still living heart?

Do you know how long

this journey took for me

to find your lost loneliness?

I asked you for too much.

You couldn't give me tears,

you couldn't dedicate the fear

of the end of this noisy

but so empty story.

But I knew you had to fall asleep

while the stars were trapped

in the night sky, while the universe

was knocking at the open door.

Tom, fire in the fireplace

is bouncing happily,

your heart is filled with

eternal ice.

Why, why can't you break away

from suffering?

Why does fear give you satisfaction?

I know, Tom, you're scared.

You're afraid of yourself.

Please don't run away from tears,

don't bypass the longing of love.

I promise that sometimes

it's worth feeling too much.
