      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      I only asked my God for easy life

      He told me: "Wait and you will change your mind.

      Your hard times - they will help you fight and thrive

      They teach you how to leave your pain behind.

      But now that I know the end is near

      I feel despair in my heart and in my breath

      The easy life was not my wish - it’s clear

      I only should have asked for easy death.
