I CANNOT

I cannot command my heart
to stop loving you,
I cannot command my mind
not to bring me back
the memories of you

I cannot ask my body
to erase your caresses
and my lips
not to crave for your kisses.

I cannot command my feet
not to run to find you.

I cannot ask the night not to come
because if I sleep
you'll be in my dreams

 I cannot command the time
 to fly
 because you cut its wings
 the day you left me.

 I cannot expect my life
not to feel soo empty
without the light of your smile
without the warmth of your body.

I cannot command you my love
to come back to me
just because I'm here
dying without your love.
