When you get drowned in love
When you get drowned in lovethere is no way out but to let it go,
to let yourself get drowned in it
and if possible to just enjoy it,
until you are smothered and can’t bear it any longer;
and that is the moment when you come to think of suicide
as the only possible and definitely certain cure;
but even that is just a gamble:
you don’t know what is beyond the grave,
while staying on in the unbearable condition
of your being buried, sacrificed alive
with no end to the torture, is like being on the operation table
in an operation which will never finish but just carry on
to cut you up in slices for no purpose as it seems,
just can’t be tolerated in the long run.
Death could then be a deceptive liberator,
but he always will have the advantage over you
since it’s impossible to make him out
as the supreme and ultimate remaining mystery,
the only certain thing about him being that he’s always there
and waiting for you in the end for better or for worse;
and since he is inevitable anyway
you might as well get lost in love while you are at it
and just let it do with you whatever it may please
while you had better make the best of it and just enjoy it.
