You’re trying to encourage me
but that’s all nonsense
treacherous leeches
in crystal clear water
Don’t try to do anything
to speak, to think
I’m telling you I have nothing
nothing to remember, believe me.

Make your life a poem.
You’re trying to encourage me
but that’s all nonsense
treacherous leeches
in crystal clear water
Don’t try to do anything
to speak, to think
I’m telling you I have nothing
nothing to remember, believe me.

all this was just an illusion.
You’re nobody
to me
I don’t know you
you’re not here
who I really was for you?
I am nobody
to you
You don’t know me
I’m not here

I pulled my hand out of your grip
moved to the edge of the bed
turned away from you
hid under a shell of stone
You’ve done everything you could
Now I can only beg for another night

If you think you’ll stop me
from leaving the house
you’re so wrong.
Know that this is the end
I won’t hide anymore
I won’t immerse myself in sadness.
You won’t stand on my way
to happiness and fulfillment.
I’m sorry, but you’ve lost.

I drew you
on a piece of paper.
I wanted you
to be the way
I wanted to see you.
I felt disappointed
when it turned out
that you were somebody else.
Not the one drawn
on a piece of paper.

My body broke into a thousand drops
I am water.
Rain that will never quench your thirst.
Stream that you cannot drink.
Ocean in which you cannot immerse yourself.

I tried to be somebody else
the person you wanted me to be
but I missed something in between.

Beginnings never last forever
End this before we start.
