Nocturne
Für Antina
My days are hollow, rhythmic beats are gone,
Since you departed with my heart in hand.
I face the gray and bitter sting of dawn,
Like tides that vanish in the desert sand.
I drift, a shadow in the morning light,
A ghost who only lives within the night.
For in the dark, my weary soul may bloom,
And find its joy inside a silent space.
Where two divided lives resume their whole,
And I can feel the pulse of one shared soul.
My dreams are now the only home I know,
The only soil where hope is left to grow.
But waking is a war I cannot win,
I cannot move, I cannot find the shore.
The sun is but a thief that steals the night,
And leaves me stranded, hollow to the core.
Unable to forget or to forgive,
I’ve lost the very heart with which to live.
And so I fear the cure, I dread the day,
For healing means to let this vision fade.
To end our boundless symbiosis now,
And lose the depth of every whispered vow.
I’d rather linger, shattered and apart,
Than live a life without my broken heart.
You are the reason why I sleep alone,
Though other souls may linger by my side.
My heart is yours, a cold and heavy stone,
With nowhere left for love or life to hide.
Keep what you took; I want it back no more,
I’ll wait for you behind this darkened door.
