A tune the world forgot

you turned your back to breathtaking scenes

just so you can face me

your body is tanned from sunlight beams

you burned—just to shade me

because of you, i dared to peek

beyond the cocoon—you set me free

bring me away!

in my hair you tucked a poppy

untouched through the winter and spring

your giggles sometimes reminded me

of a faraway, forgotten melody

you told me that love solves everything

yet it glided through our hearts like nothing

bring me away!

you showed me the slowness of living

with fleeting moments of glee

you awoke me from my misery

using languages buried underneath

your memories are so deafening

yet your voice had long stopped haunting me

bring me away!
