Shared Night
Is it here then, a path for my two feet?
My grip is gone, it´s such a useless life.
Only in dreams I am allowed to meet,
in phantasy I do not have to strife.
Empty all day, with you as lacking drive,
a yearning grey, a gap that doesn´t heal,
no warming voice, no beauty you conceal.
I can´t find you, you´re staying out of sight.
Just when I sleep, your image soothes my feel.
You fill my eyes with the depths of the night.
