I Found a Broken Tear

I got my way to hell wrong.

I found a broken tear in your heart.

The almighty night has made itself

at home in me, ready to bring

darkness instead of the simple spurts of dawn.

I promise that I will remember

every inch of your body,

that I will feel the weight of your touch

on my skin.

Don't open a window in me,

don't close the door to my thoughts.

You'd better replace fear

with an insatiable return to the present.

The crystal sky reigns on the wall

of your heart today.

Intact, virgin madness reigns

in the embrace of popular myth.

Dark Messiah, come back before

the world breaks in half like my heart.

Come back and feel

with all your ashen conscience

how indifference blooms in me,

how a star gives way to a tear.

I don't want the weekday

to take away the last bit of indecency

from me.

'Intact, virgin madness reigns
in the embrace of popular myth.
Dark Messiah, come back before
the world breaks in half like my heart.
Come back and feel
with all your ashen conscience
how indifference blooms in me,
how a star gives way to a tear.

The extraordinary phrasing in that stanza seems to be the core of your emotions, part wild, part pleading.

Is that your translation from Polish? You write in very fine English
