Because I own a heart

extremely flammable

I filter carefully

all that can reach it,

therefore I am blind.

Why didn\'t I see you from the beginning?

Looking at you, I feel I know you

better than I know myself.

It\'s you I want to run to

when it\'s raining,

it\'s you I want to suffer

when I\'m not with you.

But I can\'t find you because I am blind

and you don\'t exist

except when it\'s raining outside

and even then I can\'t find you for you don\'t exist.

Sometimes it seems

that you\'re shining behind me,

but when I turn my head

you don\'t disappear like you\'re supposed to,

but remain like before,

visible, to spike me with your non-existence.

And if my flammable heart

will never burn,

I\'ll blame you:

for not wanting to exist.
