And what now
There’s a feeling in my gut
and a lump in my throat
There’s no healing of this cut
no mending the bump in the road
We live now as such, without ending
Apart, no clutch, at most some pretending
Hope more instead of less
give to you my heart and head
Rest more and not less
ready to grab my reaching hand instead
Love deep not for ourselves
that is our only path to lose less
Our existence was full of doubt
but I stand grateful for my resistance
Now please don’t step out
there is sun, in the distance
