Relief

The road on which I stand
Unnoticed and silent I watch the clouds gathering
The wind blows into my face
Mixing tears with water
And I think that it's better that way

I leave the house at dawn
My heart is empty and aching
Indifferent and free I walk among the rays of waking sun
I touch your hand
And when you watch me leaving
I smile for the first time

Eyes full of hope and
Filled with despair
(I try to) relieve the pain
For which I didn't care
All strings torn and burnt
All songs dull and sung
And I think that it's better that way

Schritte im Regen
Atem statt der Worte
Der letzte Blick durch das schmutzige Fenster
Es ist meine Poesie des Abschieds
Die mich grausam, ruhig
Und so schön macht
Erleichterung für beide
Und kein Tod
Poesie für beide
Und kein Tod
