I lost myself within myself

I lost myself within myself
Because I was a labyrinth,
And today, when I feel myself,
I find that I long for myself.

I have passed through my life
Like a crazy star dreaming.
In the anxiety of going beyond,
I didn’t even notice my life... (...)

Twilight has descended upon my soul;
I was someone passing by.
I shall be, but I am no longer myself;
I do not live, I sleep the twilight.
