The Corridor of Sighs

Vidmante Jasukaityte

Corridor of sighs,

Through which light travels

From you to me,

And back again.

Corridor of sighs,

Through which sadness flies

From me to you

And back again.

That long, long empty corridor,

Through which we will never come to each other…

That long, long endless corridor,

That empty corridor.
