No one can hurt you again
I feel you in my veins
One touch ahead,
Don’t get mad,
I protect you!
Toxic or not?
We are never on the same level,
yet we need each other so much,
is it toxic or did we lose sense
– for compromises?
I want to listen
I want to listen to you,
I want to get along with you,
I always wish you just the best,
I hope this connection forever it lasts,
yet we are strangers…
Becoming and Deceasing
Rain is dropping on my head,
whether happy, whether sad,
rain is light and has no mood,
life giving on the earth clued,
but coming together, destructive,
dropping all life abductive.
