Asylum

My heart is sinking in the sky, but I don't want it back,
When there are reasons to be anxious - I got only few:
Even if everything you need is everything I lack -
To smile at me's the only thing I truly want from you.

I do not hope to win your hand or be the only one,
'Cause when the spring is in the air, I’m happy I can breathe,
'Cause trembling hands and shining eyes are what I can demand,
A covert glance by smallest chance is better than a kiss.

...My life is doomed; my mind is wild in every single way,
Of darkest thoughts inside my head I almost got a hive,
The reckless fear that lives within is growing day by day,
And, cross my heart, I can't be sure I really will survive.

So, do not call me by the name, don't take me in your hands,
Yet you don't owe me anything, and I can't even ask...
But still somehow you make me fly, my heart beats high, and hence
Just keep on smiling. For a while I want to stay and bask.

The time is ticking, and the world is falling down in hail
And haunting memories. This war inside is an eclipse,
I cannot run and cannot hide. But still I have this gale -
A small asylum, hidden in the corners of your lips.
