You, elastic half moon,

You, cause of my doom

You, crumpled up leaf of an old dying tree

You, protector of my vision by which the whole world I see!

You, dragon guarding the mysteries of the world of my soul,

You, tired little thing losing your touch more and more!

At night, when only a few stars shine,

With insomnia, keeping me awake, you dine,

You, traitor of a life partner

You, exhausted hopeless garderner!

Watering my eyes whenever I'm sad

It does me no good because I get even mad!

You blink and let it all fall along with my dignity

And clad me to the world as a girl with too much sensitivity

You, wild untamed beast!

Upon my vulnerability you feast!

You, still my favorite facial feature

You, desperately trying to redeem this creature

I wish I could be better before I'm dead

To own with pride, every tear that you so mercilessly shed!
