Open thy eyes and see the darkness void
Empty are the stars, they shine no more
Albeit the memories you can't avoid
A vestige forgotten as a closed door
Lights that once hath been the city's core
Now became but a shipwrecked home
The bitter wine became a sweet poison for
My being whole; a heart alone
Like the ruins of the Ancient Rome
As a dead rose long-forgotten between the pages
As an ocean current, a water foam
I will be naught but a dust for passing ages
But thou who ought to remember me
Hath loved me most without ignominy
