I wish

Sometimes I wish for something real
To safe me from my fading world

Sometimes I wish that all I feel
Would settle after being swirled

Sometimes I wish for my own dove
To stay with me until the end

Sometimes I wish that human love
Would come to heal, protect and mend

But wishes are like fairytales
Some stories helping us to cope

Still we keep wishing while life fails
And act like no one’s losing hope

While life keeps hurting, leaving scars
Ignoring all the screams

Here I keep looking at the stars
Believing in my dreams…

Shadowcover

Shadows crawling up my back
Keeping me from living
I’m running, panting
Looking again and again
Over my shoulders

Shadows of past sundowns
Clinging to my soul
I’m shaking, screaming
Trying to loose
Their sharpest claws

Dropping shadows
In my way
Shadows of what was
And what may be
Maybe tomorrow

Running, Screaming
Doesn’t help
Darkness travels faster than light
I stand in the shadows
Eyes closed, hope falling
Needing sunshine more than ever
Praying, begging
Being busy hating shadows
That the light at the horizon
Stays undiscovered

Without you

How can I walk without a goal?
How can I be without a soul?
How can I work without a task?
How can I breathe without a mask?
How can I shine without a sun?
How can I hide without to run?
How can I rest without a home?
How can I live all on my own?
