Never enough
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
Saved from a harm with one knife in your heart
Loosening all ties with exception of one
Which can't be enough to heal all your wounds
Which can't be enough how it always should
It's you in the void without air to breath
Longing for someone who'd make you believe
That all is not lost till your heart still beats
No matter the knife that got it to split
One part of you -what no one has seen
The second part is what you concealed
The time of unity is not meant to come
Cause all that mattered is already done
One knife couldn't kill completely your being
And so there is you and your shadows meaning
It will never be enough to return the time
Never enough for you to become one
