I Want To Die Before You
"I would like to die before you.
The one who comes from behind
Do you think he will find the one who goes?
I don't think so.
is it better?
you make me burn
your stove in your room
you are wearing it
inside a jar.
Let the jar be made of glass,
transparent,
it is made of white glass
so you can see me inside
You understand my sacrifice:
I gave up being soil
I gave up being a flower
to stay with you
And I'm getting dust
I live with you
Then when you die too
you come to my jar
And we lie there together
your ash in my ash
Until a wicked bride
or an unfaithful grandchild
until he threw us out of there ... "
