Das Herzleiden

Sometimes, when we ask someone a question

 – as simple it may sound –

 silence is simply another way of saying no.

Sometimes, when all we want to listen to

is a simple “wart auf mich bitte”,

we get an empty stare instead

I have raised my voice,

you, on the other hand,

have lowered yours

May time heal these wounds –

es muss schnell vorbei gehen –

for I want to be soon free from

meine Sucht nach dir.
