This Heart Will Love Again
My love, after all we've said and done
Are you telling me the time has come
To go our separate ways?
And after all that we've been through
If there's nothing I can say or do
The truth I'll have to face
I know I can't keep living yesterday
I wish there was something I could say
To make myself forget
But now, if you really have to go
Then I need to find the strength to show
No sadness, no regret...
You won't be here tomorrow
But I'll get through the sorrow
I'll keep the fire burning
Though my heart's breaking
Because every day I'm learning
Life is for the taking
And no matter what
I know that in the end
At least I can be certain
This heart w

Drumsticks of a (once) Sunny Day
Why missing you is a crime I'm silently commiting...
and committing it alone?
Like memories that are nothing but nice clouds in the sky,
dissolving into a rain
that doesn't refresh the ground
but with blood and tears, it only stains.
A hope for days of a future long past;
Illusion of fortunate laughs,
and sunny beats...
A hug from the universe
and a bass of all the
highbars under our feet.
The everything once ours,
but which is now just
wishful hopes, long lasting dreams;
Reality tossing memories,
like shards of
broken drumsticks
in a bottomless, sour bitter sea.
Oh, my heart, my dear heart,
What is it that you deeply crave for?
Whose face and voice and warmth do you miss so?
Oh, dear child,
For you are only a child in your soul--
This is an answer you know all too well!
For very few things escape the eye of a child.
Only they forget easily...
And isn't oblivion the truest of the blessings?
I crave what we always craved:
The warmth and scent of a skin
That ports us so easily into a dream;
The voice and words of a mind
That is as fascinating as it is kind;
The eyes, the smile and the face,
That steals our control over our own heart's pace;
We always loved the rain on a cold grey day
But isn't it th

... cuts 'n' kisses ...
After the cut, the kiss they say
To me, you're that kiss -
The kiss that makes everything better,
The kiss that makes life worth living again,
The kiss that brings the smile back to my eyes,
The kiss that makes me happy in spite of everything.
For all this and much more
You will always have a special place in my heart –
Deep inside hidden from the world,
A treasured memory.
֍֍֍
After the kiss, the cut they withhold
To me, you're that cut -
Deeper, more painful, agonizing, unwilling to heal,
Always there - worse than ever
֍֍֍
But despite all, I wish you'd find your kiss -
And who knows, maybe...one
When you are not here ... by Chotacabras, literature

When you are not here ...
Cold as the frost
Dries as the bark
Motionless as the time when you're away
Dark as black
Immense as the immensity
Lost as the last hair that fell out
Cutting as the reed
Straight without the curves of your body
Infinite as the universe itself
Dead as the leaves in autumn
Salty as the flow of my tears
Impenetrable, empty, difficult, off
Sad as some songs
The bed is as lonely as I am.
Shame on me
'Cos I believed
That someone like you
Could love someone like me
You fooled me once
I fooled me twice
I knew the cost
I paid the price
So shame on me
Just like everyone else
Thinking someone like you
Could love more than yourself
I stood on the edge of the Earth
After all that we'd been through
We'd gone so far and done so much
I left my heart with you
And I wondered if it was worth it
Should I just close my eyes and fall
When I was standing in the wreckage
It seemed so easy after all
You left me in this love alone
You left me in this on my own
Floating out in space and time
Lost out in the freezing cold
I watched the world pass me by
And I wondered if I should follow
We'd been so much and come so far
Now broken, black and hollow
And if I could only turn back time
Would it change a thing at all
But when I'm standing on the edge
It doesn't seem that hard to fall
I'm
Sometimes it seems like I’m walking through minefields
Sometimes I wanna draw a line in the sand
Ten paces forward and pulling the trigger
The last man standing can barely stand
All I ever do is fight
But dulce et decorum, right?
Sometimes it feels I’m losing the battle
Sometimes I just wanna wave the white flag
Back to the wall with a blindfold on
Gun to the head with a ten-round mag
I’m holding on and can’t let go
But dulce et decorum, no?
The rain is heavy and my knees are weak
And my heart is broken at my feet
The silence rings, my eyes deceive
There’s nothing left that I believe
All I’ve known and
Move south of the border and turn up the heat
Go down with the volume and rise with the beat
Tonight is forever - there's nothing but time
And just for a moment you'll always be mine

Pain of waiting
Full of hope I once chose the pain of waiting
- but how much longer can I bear it
…endure the pain?
Despite all I must hold on
hoping for the weavers of fate;
For I fear the day,
the day I no longer think of you,
the day I have forgotten you
more than the pain of waiting.
Oh weavers of destiny please, please have mercy upon me!
