I'm not that strong,
But I'd have protected you with my life.
I'm not rich,
But I'd have given you everything within my might.
I'm not handsome, and I know, quite easily overlooked.
Unlike all those princes you've read within those fairly tales and fictional books.
.
I understand that I will never again be graced by the beauty of your eyes,
I understand that you'll never again be mine,
I understand that you'll want more than I could ever hope to give,
But, I hope that you know that, without you, I have no more reason left to live.
.
I've tried to conversate within the shackles of my own company,
I found myself laughing at the fact that I can't even make fun of me.
.
Dreams, broken as wood, even by my nightmares, disguised as termites,
Life, drained of all its color,
I only see in both black and white.
.
Dear, to whomever finds this letter,
I pray your success, and that life goes for you, better,
Do me a favor:
If you could, please don't dream...
For when you finally wake as I have,
You won't want to even breathe.
