Adeus

And then I heard those words
They flew like evil crows
Coming to me in a burst
Almost stopping my heart

The ground opened beneath me
Swallowing me like a hungry beast
In its bowels I saw no hell
Only darkness, solitude and silence

You looked at me with sad eyes
I saw you crying
The angel that condemned
Was the one that could absolve

But you disappeared in the fog
The beast closed its mouth
And those words echoed in the void
“I’m leaving you”

*Adeus is the portuguese word for farewell
