The Limits of My Sphere!

Burning with the fever that multiplies my fear,
And takes away my hope to the realm of shiver;

I search for the word, but it won’t bring you here,
I look for the shine that is going to disappear,
I force my lips for a smile that is not real,
I roll the dice with alerting fear!

I know, you won’t be here,
When I force the fever to disappear.
And that, alone, breaks the limits of my sphere!
