his heart seemed to be made of steel
and to cracking it, was not the deal.

feelings were forbidden
so I kept mine hidden

he had a cute smile and a good taste in music
but his attitude was confusing

I wonder about the temperature of his heart
to get to feel it, must be art

I knew it couldn’t be this cold
„everyone has emotions“ I once was told

sometimes he was gentle
and it made me believe that I will find him sentimental

so I kept trying to find the key
tried to sneak into his heart and teach him how to be free

I even got to experience a glimpse of his warm heart
but then life took us apart

and the day he had lost me, he would have finally found something that set his heart on fire

you were supposed to make me smile
thought we could enjoy this moment for a while.

now I’m feeling sad because of you,
keep questioning the things you do.

I wonder if you’re capable of nice words,
I know you’re not the worst.

but sometimes I wish you would be kind,
that the memory of my face would cross your mind.

but you don’t care about me,
I guess your life is all you see,
and our energy is not equally.

your time is precious and all that matters,
you don’t even realise when my heart shatters.

I feel like I don’t deserve your emotions.

I’m not even talking about love,
it could be just us two, having a good laugh.
some attention or act of kindness, so I know you care. this would be fair.

but yeah, I’m not worth enough,
and the landspace of your heart seems kinda rough.

it could have been nice with us two,
but people won’t change, I know that’s true.

it’s too much to ask, right?
I’ll better get going, gonna catch my flight.

because you know what boo?
I deserve someone new,
and the only one who is unworthy of my feelings is you.

hello stranger
I saw you looking at me

eyes opened up wide, 
but what do you hide?

it was just a second.
cute smile. brown skin.
I like your style. you’re just my type.

wanna hang out?
let’s go for dinner, 
we would be cute together, no doubt.
or are you a sinner?

oops… too late..
probably never gonna see you again
what a shame, man.

******* it.
at least to my imagination there’s no limit…

we met in a strange moment
now I’m sitting here as a poet

wish I could get to know you better
just enjoy the moment,
as if tomorrow wouldn’t matter

wish you could be mine
but first I will be away for some time

your brown eyes are art
and I hope life won‘t take us apart

just here to tell you that I like you
actually hoping you feel this way, too

man, life is too short
now I‘m sitting at the airport

please don’t forget my touch on your skin
to have met you is a win

we can meet again
just keep me in mind until then

I’ll be back soon
and then, together we will bloom.

those letters I wrote for you are still haunting me
precious words that were destined to be

we had great times, I agree
but now, empty words is all I see.

with our story, I am done.
still gonna keep the memories when you used to be my sun

the same day you burned those words, you burned my love

now my words are no longer yours.
I already cut those strings and closed the doors

and baby guess what?
for you, there are no longer butterflies in my gut

sometimes you have to sit down and listen to yourself

please stop hiding in a shell

take one deep breath and smile like a clown
don’t fake it and listen to your heart itself

whether your hair is blonde, black or brown
listen to that magical sound

let all these scars heal, don’t worry
you can’t drown because you’re not made of steel

listen to your soul, body and mind
if something is wrong, leave it behind

did you sit down? did you listen?
now stand up and never forget to wear your crown.

he has always been there
and there are plenty things we share

he made me smart and strong
and held my head up when I felt wrong

he has been my hero so many times
when he’s not close, I miss him, sometimes

I keep him in my chest
to keep myself blessed

he is caring, ambitious and inspiring
a beautiful soul I’m always admiring

I’ve heard them say; blood is thicker than water
and I’ve seen it, in the eyes of our mother

I bet you’re wondering if he’s my lover
no, honey, the guy I’m talking about is another
the first boy I’ve loved is my brother.
