grey

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

erasing any traces of you
the rebound effect of too many words 
fit into too little space
is painting another picture
so condensed that I can't figure it out

then I close my eyes in the wrong moment,
and as the reversed motion 
puts everything into the right angle
I see nothing but blackness
and a memory of things gained and lost
in the same place of yore

but that was the past, and now
I hear your calling, but I don't realize
what you're really trying to tell me
wishing I'd understand; wishing to know
if you wanted me to do just this
watching ourselves in a story never-ending
inbetween there are moments that prove
there never was a beginning

so, you are forced to dream
you cannot leave; caught in the sea
that still rages on and on tonight
drowning every thought
in a frozen heart, no words come out
and nothing is heard anymore
