Bir anıların kaldı bir de aklımdan çıkmayan yüzün Her sebebine arıyorum affedilemeyen çözüm Sayıyorum artık bana gelmediğin her günü Bak görmüyor dokunduğun bu sol gözüm Uzaklarda bir çığlık duyacaksın bana ait Yalvaramam seni, unutma sadece beni Önemli değil senden başka birileri Yediremiyorum belki seni kaybettiğimi Vazgeçemiyorum sözlerinden, gözlerinden Yaralar döküyor sensiz, yalnız bedenim Sendin bu derdi anlayacak tek hekim Çaresizlikti bana öğrettiğin tek terim.

Bir ışık yak, Ne olur? Görmeyen göze ne gerek? Sen, görmek isteyene yak; Ne olur? Güzel şeyler olur, Düşünceleri aydınlatırsa... Belki bir umut. Sen bir ışık yak acele; Zaman tükenmiş, Nefesler sayılı.
