Clarissa

I was lost in a voiceless place
A stranger in my own skin
And you arrived like a minor Sun
With your laughter you shattered yesterday

You, barely eighteen years old
You made me forget my pain

Clarissa, you were heaven in my pain
A flash of lightning, a burst of heat
Although time broke us
Your memory never faded

Clarissa, you taught me how to breathe
You knew how to shine in my shadows
And although it all ended
Something of you remained in my soul

They were short days, but they felt like an eternity
Your hugs were my universe
I felt younger just from looking at you
I felt alive just from kissing you

And although the ending hurt us
There was never any hatred, only peace

Clarissa, you were heaven in my pain
A flash of lightning, a burst of heat
Although time broke us
Your memory never faded

Clarissa, you taught me how to breathe
You knew how to shine in my shadows
And although it all ended
Something of you remained in my soul

Today I smile when I remember you
Without chains to bind me
We were fire, we were truth
And your name doesn't go away

Clarissa, you were heaven in my pain
A flash of lightning, a burst of heat
Although time broke us
Your memory never faded
