you remind me of squirrels which stores food for winter but ends up forgetting the hidden place,
you wait for the trains and him who never come,
your love for him is a fragile treasure
of whose map he’s least bothered about.
to love is also a losing game
don’t miss you in the act of loving.
stop pampering yourself with his sweet lies and unfaithful lullabies.
your forefinger that points out everything
couldn’t navigate your own heart and it’s pristine feelings,
remember, it beats for yourself and it doesn’t murmur his name.
you can’t hold on forever,
even walls fall down,
stop cementing those cracked bricks,
let things be as it is,
learn to be still.
for all the wrong places you’ve been means
the wrong direction you followed,
love that looks intimate
is also a toxic elixir from other side of the coin,
choose a wise heart to reside in.
Thank you so much for reading!❤️
Love this! ✨

Ich habe Dir
nicht geantwortet
auf das
dass Du mich magst
meine Erinnerung
an Dich
hält mich treu
an Dein Gesicht
noch jeden Tag
meine Gedanken
meine Gefühle
meine Empfindungen
sind nicht makellos
du sprichst in mir
ohne mir vor
Deinem Abschied
etwas zu sagen
die Wege finde ich
nicht mehr
in Dein vertrautes zurück
ich lese in Einsamkeit
aus den Steinen am Weg
Deinen Brief an mich
es ist ein grosser Wind
in mir
wenn Du
in meinem Selbst
daherkommst
im Brautkleid
eines blühenden Apfelbaums
ich bin nicht weise geworden
unter Deinen Augen
die meine Lippen
meine Worte an Dich
stumm werden lassen
Du hast mich damals gewählt
nicht berührt
und für immer losgelassen
