The sun shines warm, the birds are singing,
normally I’d smile, my mood be swinging.
Any moment now the feeling should start
But all I hear is the breaking of my lonely heart.
**
I feel so sad, hanging on a chain
of darkness and misery being hurt all over again.
I’m waiting for freedom of sadness and fears
but all I’m doing is drowning in tears.
**
Being in pain from repeated falls
I feel like prisoner of a hole with high walls.
No way to escape, no chance to climb
my prison was built with blood, pain and time.
**
No chance to free me and nowhere to go
and my hope is dying, that’s all I know.
Yearning for closeness for love and for care
all I got was pain – how could I dare?
**
Instead of an apology I got pain
and what should I say? It was done – again.
I’m asking myself if that’s a new trend
for someone who called himself “friend”.
