Listen        

I am whose

I am whose self is craving
his end, by force, and stuck around.
 

I am whose core is aching,
crying its loneliness and is drowned.

 

I am worried, tortured. I am in pain.
My soul has fled its close love chain.


But how to stay?- Heart has been cast

 by arrows shot by his eye fast.

In sadness's hell my heart will melt
if it is weaned. It will be burned.
