Reality
Olivera Rizova 1973 (Lund)
When tears start running down your face
and there is nothing you can do to stop them.
When the smile upon your face disappears
and it’s hard to find your way back to it.
When the light in your eyes fades away
and everything turns into darkness.
When your soul turns blue as the ocean
and you feel like you are drowning.
When your heart stopps beating
and you know love has left you for an eternity -
That is when knowledge turns into sorrow.
