at her sight, every heart pounds in wild palpitation.

Her black, gleaming hair like flowing tar,

turns your eyes to scarlet, burning afar.

Her scent seeps into your every vein—

sharp as pepper, with cherry’s sweet stain.

You cannot tear your gaze away,

for her beauty steals your breath, your way.

And deep inside, you know too well,

without her, you'll descend to hell.

I sit on the balcony and stare at the stars and wonder if my soulmate does the same. If so, please read the message I send to the stars: "I will not die until I meet you and live my life wildly and fully."

Who will understand things I cannot understand?

Who will save me when I drown in my own thoughts?
