Alone
Alone, like the morning star at dawn,
Like the pale eye of the sky,
It spins in lunar orbit
Alone, like the first man on earth,
Like the last wolf of England,
Like the oldest old man in the place
Alone, like one spins their dreams,
Like the monster that survived a millennium,
And hides in a cave under the sea
Alone, like one with the virtue of a magician,
Like one leading a people to ruin
While imagining happiness
Alone, like a slave alone under the yoke,
Like the conscience of the executioner,
Or the traitor's only kiss
Alone, like a stroke of luck,
Like everyone facing their own death,
Alone, like an exterminating angel
Alone, like a god denied by his creatures,
Like one who gave color to his madness
And painted the crows and the wheat field
Alone, like every dead person in their world,
Like the voice that falls silent in the desert,
Like the one who always tells the truth
Alone, like one who can see everything more clearly,
Alone like the attentive light of a lighthouse
Or the only minute of alcohol
Alone, like this very moment that is lost,
Like the only one who has seen the green ray
When the last sun went out
Alone, like one who unravels a prophecy,
Like the only survivor of a shipwreck,
Like everyone who loses their mind
Alone, like one who got lost without realizing it,
Like a blind bird in the storm,
That's how I am in the world without your love
Alone, as if I were an eternal animal
Nailed to the door of hell,
That's how I am in the world without your love
