I die bit by bit every day
Since I'm leaving
The firmament is black
The penumbras of the lampshade
Are very dark tonight.
I cry a lot every day
Because I'm leaving
Tomorrow my love
I will disappear like the umbra of the night
Like the mist on the mirror.
I'm dying gradually
I cry abundantly
Since I'm leaving
This somber evening
I say goodbye.

The lampshade are very dark tonight and you feel that you die bit by bit everyday. This is really very thought provoking poem. During birth we appear through human bodies and others welcome us and during death we disappear and many say goodbye to us. A brilliant poem is beautifully presented....10
