White clouds
Lasting the day
You excite my heart
In your coy, twisted way
We express our mutuality
Through art and song
Why do you toy with my heart?
And why do I play along?
Out of shame I have to say
Only you can make me smile this way
But smile fades with one mistake
One which you constantly repeat
Leading you always into instant retreat
And so you settle for saftey
For you think that I am too risky
End of day, I sigh in woe
Just like the clouds
That end up a storm

I remember the time I lay afloat
on the lining that separates the sky from the ocean


Some days I managed to jump higher than the sea,
hoping to touch that sky
but I never made it that far


Each jump higher I make,
only the quicker and harder I fall
Til finally one day I’m no longer on that lining,
but now drowning
in the waves that used to surround me


Am I anchored by my own will,
or by someone else’s doings?
But definitely for sure, I’m not moving
What, do I envy?
Do I hate the ones i see above me, free and flying?
No, not even.


I only end up feeling down for myself
For how can a fish ever become a bird
