The Message

I'm looking up to the heavens
But there's nothing in the sky
No birds, no sun, no airplanes
Let me tell you why

A volcano shared her feelings
Screamed as her burning heart burst
Tears and ashes, now of loneliness
Where there once for love was thirst

She has been mourning for a week now
Her message is still in the air
And we realize as we are stranded
We are unknowing and unaware

Of the consequences of true love
When it ends or when it dies
That loneliness can hurt so much
It can empty all the skies

And that life can change so fast
So we better be prepared
Life is too short for living thinking:
"No one loved", or "No one cared"

So she claims all our attention
Wants the media to write
That too little love can kill you
So love with all your might

Today I Missed You

From the very beginning

You filled my life with meaning

With structure, and with hope

Everyday with you was marked

With a special love, a joy

That many don't believe exist

Everyday without you

Seems a day wasted

I knew you had to leave

Now I'm longing for the day

You will be back for more

Because today I missed you

When that days comes

Nothing else will matter

Youre absence is my best friend here

It reminds me every day

How it was having you with me

It caresses my loneliness

Sings lullabyes to my dreams

But can't untie the knot in my soul

Fill my midnights with moonlight

Nor give wings to my heart

Today I missed you

I need you to come back now

Before my longing becomes unbearable

My heart implodes from impatience

And its hope disappears with the wind

So I need you to come back now

You've been away too long

I need to pretend you didn't leave me

Where yesterdays become eternity

If you only come back

I promise to mend your broken heart

Everytime I break it

Just like I always do

But be sure to come back

Today I missed you

Acceptance

Another summer
Disappeared with the wind
Suddenly everything got colder
Now all I wanna do is cry

Not everything is happiness
Even a smile can fade
Though it seems like it always existed
All I wanna do is cry

Unfortuntely I'm a frequent visitor
At the dark veil
Where hope slowly dies
And all I wanna do is cry

Tormented with a broken heart
Persecuted by a contrite spirit
For all the wrong reasons
So all I wanna do is cry

What I need is to be hugged
Until I understand
That not everything is lost
'Cause all I wanna do is cry

In your soul I can see
My own reflection
Sick and tired of empty rooms
All I wanna do is cry

Anger was never a part of me
Denial sometimes makes me blind
But with blessed acceptance in my veins
I've ran out of reasons to cry

Seven Days

Monday
I never saw you coming
Don't remember you ever being away
Like you were always a latent part of me
Integrated by default

Tuesday
I fell asleep because
I didn't want to think
Waking up
Only made me more able to

Wednesday
You haven't only taken
The power over my mind
Your presence has also spun
A web of unavailibility between our hearts

Thursday
Another morning
Still all I think about is you
Afraid to understand why
Terrified to forget how to

Friday
I am not for you
You are not for me
Though you are always on my mind
The way I feel about you is more special

Saturday
These days I've realized that
Loneliness is different
When you have someone to share it with
One day I hope it can be with you

Sunday
Looking back, thanks to you, I've discovered
A happier place in my mind
A more comfortable place in my soul
A warmer place in my heart

I'm closing my eyes
Wishing a good night
Waiting for tomorrow
When I´ll finally see you again

To All Undesired Goodbye's

I don't need to explore
The geography of your mind
To get lost in the hope
Of my heart going blind
So that I can miss the end
Of our next goodbye

I don't need a dictionary
To the language of your heart
If you won't be able to answer
The question I have no right to ask
When will I read the first line
Of our next goodbye

I always need to wait but
I have no time and
My heart has got no patience
No patience to wait for the beginning
Of our next goodbye

I do need you to know this one thing
If there's anything you can do
I'm not waiting for you
To complete my life
Just to feel less incomplete
In the moment
Of our next goodbye

I don't need to know
What it is you do to me
I'm just trying to enjoy
These countless feelings I'm breathing
And meanwhile
I will try to survive 'til the day
Of our next goodbye

Your Presence

Like a smile appears

In the sparkling eyes of a child

So it warms me up

As it cuddles up in my soul

The influence of Your Presence

When you are near

Come what may

I feel good and more complete

In fact, I am able to feel

Because of Your Presence

Your eyes have arms

They hug me every day

How can I even be sad

When my life is filled

With Your Presence

Your words

Are meaningful to me

Like air brings life

They bring me closer

To Your Presence

When you walk in

The rest of the world walks out

My heart follows you

So I am never apart

From Your Presence

In the end of the day

Shadows may rise

But there is always sunshine

As long as I am found

In Your Presence

As the moon follows the sun

And the sun follows the rain

My longing goes to you

Who sprinkles my life with stardust

For your friendship

For being who you are

For Your Presence

To A Very Special Friend

Our encounter only counts as a moment

Of eternity, like a shooting star

That what made the difference

Is that you are who you are

During this short time

You have really touched my heart

I'm happy for my life here

And that you could play a part

It has puzzled me how you've been able

To always be what I need

Im my eyes you are Christlike

In thought, and word, and deed

Your personality has showed me

How Heavenly Father works and is

No matter what you say

Your behavior has been His

Apart from serving the Lord

Improving the world has been your call

Though the reason you seem perfect to me

Might be that I don't really know you at all

There are countless things I am grateful for

The Gospel, cats, cookies, and

That life has brought to me in you

A very special friend

Though there are reasons why the future

Only makes it to the past

The present seems like a dream

And is never meant to last

We really had a good time

Now I understand that you must leave

But we will see each other again

This I both know and believe

I hope to see you in the eternities

But until then

I pray that God will be with you

Till we meet again
