Let's Die Somewhere Else

Listen, my dear

The sirens' call

They're coming for us

Though you may feel

So sad and tired

My love, oh

I feel that, too

Through broken glass

And twisted metals

We should go

We won't perish here

Though it seems

It's already too late

We won't perish here

Let's die somewhere else

Don't close your eyes

No, not yet

We still have to walk

Some more distance

Remember when I said

Through fire and rain

My love for you

Will be the same

Remember when I vowed

To the heavens above

Only to you

I will give my love

Only to you

My love

I solemnly swear

To the very end

Don't close your eyes

No, not yet

We won't perish here

Though your legs

Seem so heavy

My love, oh

I feel that, too

The sirens

They won't make it

On time

Some more distance

My love...

We won't perish here

Some more distance

My love...

No, not here

Any moment from now

Our heavy legs

Will take

No more

And we will fall

And soon

Both of our eyes

Will close

Remember, love:

Whatever happens

To this life or to the next,

(If there ever will be)

Never let go of my hands.

20 September 2005

this is the 1st poem that I read during the poetry night.

loosely inspired by Rivermaya's "Ambulansya". this poem is about putting love to the ultimate test, to the very end.

I couldn't write some new poems for the poetry night so I just read 2 not-so-old ones.

hope you enjoy. :D
