Some might see me as a key
Some might feel me deeply
Some might see me as the door
Some might meet my core
Some might perceive my essence
Some might hear my soul

Some might keep the keys I gave
Some might feel their essence
Some might remember what I said
Some might feel them right away
Some might stay lost on their way
Some might find the door one day

Every shadow we cast on one another
drowns our light and leaves us blind
Observation and recognition
of their origins set us free
let us see reflections of ourselves
and what lies behind
If one looks into the light
And instinctively turns away
In fear, with aching eyes,
It might have been
That one has stood
In the darkness
For a long time
I'm not your critic,
not your gaping wounds of the past.
I'm not your reactions
they tell your stories.
I'm not your fear
of losing yourself.
I'm not your shame & hate
for being yourself.
I'm not your fear
of intimacy.
I'm not the mirror
you mistake me for.
Thats the mirror
of yourself.
Azure blue waters
- crystal clear
and ripple-free,
a safe spot
in the shadows
of an old oak tree
with my owl friend
sitting high up
in the crown
If you want to,
you can come
and join us here
A sakura in blossom
whispers pink and white,
soft, fine, and gentle
- Rising
Its roots stretch deep
into Mother Earth,
solid, strong, and sturdy
- Staying
Love is free,
a vast, spacious ocean
- free of addiction,
real and in motion
A cleansing dive,
without fear
of drowning
Love is a gift
from within
- safe and calm
A coastal view,
bathed in sunshine
- soothing and warm
Words run through my veins
like a river
through my heart,
the pulse of life -
blue, purple, and green -
nourishing
my soul and my being
Prismatic memories
ebb in silence
Shimmering hope
flows through my dreams
From the depths of silence
Emerges the truth
An open heart
With an open mind
Cataracts tell stories
Beyond words
Profound and real
In a state of flux
I'm floating in
Your warm embrace
Dissolving in
Your loving gaze
I'm losing my sense
of time and space
As long as I remember
You were there
- For eternities
For you it was love and war
Planted cluster bombs
Between my ribs
Turned passion into crime
Came back to the scene
On your guilt trips
With your favorite knife
3 stabs into your heart
And 3 into mine
In your spider webs of lies
I hung on for dear life
And you set it on fire
Lay down looking up at the cracks in the ceiling.
Like I'm floating is it real or am I just dreaming?
I can see them clearly orchids flower through the gaps
And a pleasant warm feeling starts to grow in my chest.
Black and wide
The silence fills infinity
Calm and quiet
I float in deep tranquility
Bade in den Strahlen der Mittagssonne,
fall' in ihre liebevolle Umarmung.
Der kühle Sommerwind streicht zart,
grüßt freundlich und zieht seines Weges.
Sie fragen wies mir geht.
Ich hab die Wahrheit gesagt,
Sie sagten das werde schon.
Jedes Mal fühlt es sich an
Als würden meine Gefühle
Nicht angenommen.
Deshalb sag ich ist ok.
Deshalb sag ich das es geht.
Gibt es jemand, der versteht?
Unsichtbar, kannst du mich sehen?
Fühle mich einsam bin allein
Und ich ertrinke in einem
dunkelroten See aus Schmerz.
Frozen tears
on the windows
obfuscate the
Stone sculptures of pain
in the garden
of withered roses
Dreadful nightmares
haunt the
dilapidated rooms
This is your personal war.
Against your own inner demons.
The great fear in your heart.
Your own prison, to which you unbeknownst to yourself got the key.
I can stand by your side.
I can lend you my hand.
I can be there and support you.
But I can't fight your war for you.
Whats a live without passion?
Without a heart full of burning desire?
I'll promise you I'm there
If you promise me the same.
If you can give yourself a chance,
If you can give me a chance,
If you can give us this chance.
I present you my heart,
please take care of it.
I promise to do the same.
I want to feel you again.
I just want you to stay.
There's a hole in my chest
Once there was a bright bonfire
There's a hole in my head
Once there was my strong desire
Now they're filled with ashes
The remains of my passion
I try to open up to you
About the inner of my heart
My shameful thoughts
But your reactions
Sound like a brutal judgement
I collapse into myself
Feel belittled and small
When all I wished for
Was love.
Brightly colored pictures
Move before my eyes
With no single reaction
Of my heart and my mind
Accompanying voices
I can't quite comprehend
My senses sense sensations
Which don't make any sense
Da gibt es diese Stimmen in mir
die in Argwohn lauern
Auf Momente der Hoffnungslosigkeit
Auf Momente der Überforderung
Auf Momente der Niedergeschlagenheit
Um mir zu sagen
Siehst du?
Nichts kriegst du hin.
Du bist nur eine Last.
Aus dir wird eh Nichts.
Ohne dich wär' die Welt besser dran.
...Mit dir hat man nur Probleme.
Du bist ein Problem.
Hab dich jetzt nicht so.
...Wieso heulst du jetzt rum?
Du bist eine Strafe für mich.
Es wäre besser, du wärst niemals geboren.
Ich hasse dich.
I want to know you.
I want to be known by you.
I want to be near you.
I want to help you.
I'm commited to you.
I wish you the best.
Hidden behind a mirror
Ridden with shame and fear
Performing for the world
What you think they want to see
Denying that you're lovable
In self hate and doubt
Running away in anticipation
But wishing that you'd get found
Dark blue skies behind
Yellow-golden window panes
The trees are still bare
Structure on the walls
Indistinguishable from
A remote distance
