Only You My ilah!

Only you My ilah
I choose among the entire world.
My heart is a pen in your hand.
It is all up to you
to write me happy or sad.
I was ready to tell
the story of my life
but the ripple of tears
and the agony of my heart
wouldn't let me
All my feelings have the color
you desire to paint.
all along i felt
as tender as a crystal
ready to be shattered
In this stormy sea
we call life
all the big ships
come apart
how can i survive
riding a lonely
little boat
I don't know
if i am
nonexistent
while i exist
since in this world
i have many times
died and
been born again
That is why
after a long agonizing life
i finally let go
I choose to live as you want
From the beginning to the end,
no one but you.
Please make my future
better than the past.
When you are with me I know life
And when you turn away
I change into a corpse
Cleanse me from these filth of sins
Make me whole again
Don't expect to find
any more in me
than what you give.
Don't search for
hidden pockets because
I've shown you that
all I have is all you gave.
My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that,
I'm like a bird from another continent
The day is coming when I fly off,
What is the soul?
I cannot stop asking.
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.
These words. I never know what I'm going to say.
I don't plan it,I only write.
When I'm left with no words to say,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
