fade into the distance

I see you from afar

as your star

fades away

are you still there?

unaware

of me

sitting here

always alone

dreaming that someone

will pick up those deplorable debris off me

and finally let me live;

you have matured like the finest wine

and for that I have to thank fate

when I can’t even touch you and the temperature of your breath

it is as low as the toughest winter;

I want to be close

to warm my hands from yours

where you see nothing, nothing at all

I want to be there for you

to always brighten your day;

we coexist –

best matching colours and patterns

on new, fashionable garments

everyone’s jealous and greedy to grab

even the smallest fragment

of our harmonious trap

so, what keeps you away

from everything I want, from everything you need?

just the softest kiss

can break this constant

pulling the rope

in the wrong direction

without leaving loose threads

*

and suddenly the rain came and washed away the sins

of our unfulfilled dreams
