I have been unfaithful to you in thoughts,
in dreams that come and go,
in whispers that the wind carries away,
in desires that are never extinguished.
You are the flame that ardently calls me,
while my arms cling to you,
but in the shadows of my longings,
another love dwells in my eternal condemnation.
It's a play of light and shadow,
in the gloom, I lose myself and find myself,
faithful to your essence, gasping for life,
and yet, your absence is my brokenness.
Unfaithful in my mind, faithful in my skin,
a tournament of loves, an endless duel,
the flesh submits, yields to compromise,
but the soul travels endless paths.
I know that at dawn it will find my spirit,
in the sway of my doubts, resigned,
to be faithful in the skin, a clear destiny,
but unfaithful in the mind, a foul-mouthed love.
