A feeling starts to spread relentlessly Dark clouds appear on the horizon majestically
The moment I’ve received the message of his sudden death I felt only consternation Could not move, as if I’ve stared too long into the eyes of a gorgon
A rush through the body - Sudden failure of the respiratory organ A paralysis with the intensity of the earth’s creation
A splinter of my heart dissolved like bones in an acid solution As I read his handwritten suicide letter with a trembling voice at his funeral If I had known, oh, if I only had known
Tears blend in with the rain and drop on the engraved tombstone Knowing to have spent too little time with my last relative – too ephemeral Please free me from this perpetual penance and grant me absolution
If I had known, oh, if I only had known… absolution!
