Letter from a Lonely Ghost on Valentine's Day

I want to softly die today. 
I yearn to softly sleep. 
Your picture burns a flame in my heart. 
This secret I softly keep. 

I am so alone without you. 
My heart, it burns with pain. 
I am alone, so alone without your love, 
and shall never see you again. 

The knife awaits, its blade rings true 
and sadness is my aid. 
I'll put an end to your eyes in my head, 
softly to rest I’ll be laid. 

For my heart is dead, and soon at last 
dead my body shall be. 
I’ll follow your beautiful hands to the grave, 
only you in my heart shall I see.
