die Liebe

Cover your ears and forget
The song that haunts your sleep
Since it will take a couple of years
To blow away your regrets

And as you walk away don't look back
As the city crumbles when her memory
Of you turns to salt
From your heart's command you build an arc
To save what is left
And accept it was your fault
that the rain must fall down
and as the the world drowns
You must take this loss as feeling's clarity.

After all as you pray with your hands held
Towards the night sky
The wet touch of a gusting wind
On your palm feels
The sting
The trace
Of hope leaving
To someother place to call home

The rain stops signaling
How fortune understands
Why you would
Foolishly expose yourself to an imminent crash

For her memory is the bomb
That lights the world
That darkens the blue sky
With grey ash

But even if she were to blame
You follow her steps in the dark
Tracing the lines in your soul
Where she left the mark.
