Russia
Keep My Life
Sometimes I cry tears of blood
And sometimes rivers flow,
Others I shed crystal tears
And become one with snow.
With all these things, I wish it not
that death will come to me,
But that the sun, with golden rays
will grow my flowers finally.
I sit here, in snowy white
my aura surrounding me,
Please, take my life,
and keep it hidden from me.
I trust that you will treat it well,
as you would any other soul
Cherish it, and give it back,
when sunrise melts the snow.
My love, I search for it
Or have I none at all?
Has my heart been frozen, my soul taken,
my touch and sight punished?
If so, please, have mercy, though I do not deserve it.
I want to find the salt sprayed seas,
and leave my bitterness behind.
Take off this scars, these battle wounds, forgive my long lost memories.
I sit here, in snowy white,
my aura fading away.
Please, take my life,
and keep it locked up from me.
I trust that you will treat it well,
as you should any other soul.
Cherish it, and lend it back
when noonday freezes snow.
Remember, the times when we would sit
in those bamboo groves?
I would kiss kiss your cheek, our nose, and forehead
and you kiss mine in return.
I long for those hours to come back,
But years have brought us apart.
We live forever, and yet
our love lasts little more than an age.
Is it war? The battles we've fought?
Or has my spot simply become vacant?
I sit here, in snowy white,
my aura disappeared.
Please, take my soul,
and live it for yourself.
I trust that you will treat it well,
the way you used to me.
Cherish it, and give it back,
when sunrise creates the snow.
My flowers, the remind me of you,
of happiness and joy.
But unlike my flowers, your youth is eternal
frozen like my heart.
I hope you still know, this thing I'm about to say,
And even if you do, I'll say it again.
I Love You
