Sad in Paradise

I died

 

I followed the light


Where is Jesus? 

Where is God?

Where´s my grandmother who passed away?

 

Where is everyone?

Why does the silence here is absolute?

 

Where are the other saved ones?

My little dog who died long ago?

Or my cat that has disappeared?

 

Salvation can´t be that

Disappointment and lamentation torment me

In indignation I see

That the shepherds lied

 

I am tormented by aberrations

That chase me during the day

And stalk me at night

 

Who are these terrifying entities?

Why there are no angels here?

Why do they look like demons here?

 

In the sky of my despair

The clouds move slowly

In their omnipresent contempt

 

Rivers that run through canals

But they doesn't go anywhere

The waters take my hope away

And also keep me locked in this dead city

 

Open fields

But there's no one around

Deserted corridors

The aberrations I see

In houses of concrete

I hear their ghostly echoes

 

There's a very beautiful garden

But it's deserted and depressing

By the ghost of an old woman

With long hair and dresses

It's daily protected

 

I think her son drowned in these lakes

For her spirit floats above the waters

And on the banks she cries

Curved in her own embrace

 

I look at my body

It seems like I'm a child again

I want my mother so much

I sink into hopelessness

 

I sit in a corner

And hug my little knees

Mommy

Will you come to pick me up?

I'm so scared

I don't want to be here anymore

 

I don't want to be sad anymore

 

And that's how I feel

Without my family

Without my friends

 

Alone

 

Sad in paradise
