Insufficient world

My heart doesn't fit into my body

My body into my room
My room doesn't fit into my house
My house into the world
My world doesn't fit into the universe
I will explode
 

The pain of my grief made me silent
My silence doesn't fit into the skies
How can I tell such a pain to anyone
My love doesn't fit into my heart
My brain into my head
Ah, my temples
I am about to crack
I understand now, I understand
I won't be able to tell anyone.
