Heaven is so Close to the Sun

Remind me once again
Why I believed that we
Could ever have
A happy ending
When the truth
Was so clearly written
In your eyes,
In your very features
(Was I so blinded by my own lies?
Did I truly have so much faith in my illusions
I had weaved of finest silk?)

Remind me once again
Why you let me believe
In forever
When, in reality, there is no such thing,
When my silk was torn apart
Because the truth weighed more
Than anything could ever do

Please, remind me
Why I let myself believe
That love conquers all
(Even death)
When, in reality, it prevails over nothing,
Because you left me for a heaven
Where death is so much easier
And where life is but a sun-bleached memory

(Because heaven is so close to the sun)
