Relenting Truth

Every time we hurry past each other

We hit and tear ourselves on impact

And we feel the pain of each other’s wings

We were embraced in unclean, impure arms

Because in our loneliness we did not know any better

The moment we connect, eternity will awaken

I long for it

Exposed in a flickering instant that flew by too fast

I cannot reach anything alone

These mere wishes and fading words

Cannot get us anywhere by themselves

Though I fixed my eyes right on them

I have still lost sight of the stars

But their light remains, and no one can steal it

The light of our existence is confirmed by our lips

It is dazzling from the emotions that are bottled up inside us

Is it love that lies ahead, or will everything break apart?

It bewilders me

Intertwined in this heat, wanting to speak the truth

Who do I protect them from?

This feeling you wanted so badly once

If it is there

This feeling I wanted so badly once

It lies in you
