TO BE YOURS

Amb. Diana Mehmeti

I love you like a wound that never finds healing,\nLike a fire that burns me in every breath and thought,\nLike the night that refuses to dawn without you,\nLike a broken prayer dying in solitude!\nI love you with anxiety, with fever, with longing,\nLike the sea waiting for a wave,\nLike the last word that remains on the lips,\nStripped naked, never daring!\nYou are the sin I don’t want to forgive,\nYou are the light that blinds me and makes me alive,\nIn your arms I get lost without return,\nAnd yet I seek that loss as salvation…\nIf you leave me, I remain a shadow without a voice,\nA erased name, a letter without lines,\nA heart beating from old
