Blessed

I've been blessed this year.
Through all this madness
you were there and saved me.

I'd nearly given up
I wished to be forgotten
hidden in old realms

But you've found
through the darkest night
you made your way to me

You took my fading hope
my deepest fears
and all my despair.

You touched my heart
my soul
everything that I am

You made me live again
you brought back the light
and now I owe you my life.

Amazed

It's every single word
that you say
every little move
that you do

your smile
when you say hello
and the way
you look at me

I'm amazed
by everything you do
I feel breathless
when you're around

you make my day
every time I see you
you don't even have
to notice me

sometimes I wonder
if you even know me
or if I'm just one
you don't care about

and still
you give me hope
your songs
let me go on

silent death

it's all so silent
I see you fade
your eyes closed
and your voice broken

once so strong
and beautiful
you lay down
losing strength

your lips whisper
on and on
without any sound
you scream

you cry
and tears flow
down your face
red like blood

you woke up
out of nightmares
too late
to go on with your life

you realized
that you're dying
no chance
to start again

and your eyes
meet mine
asking for help
you'll never get

peaceful rest

It's been a while
since I heard your voice
and yet
nothing has changed

still you make me smile
and still I'll find rest
when you're around
everything seems so far away

all my troubles fade
and I can feel peace inside of me
like always
when you told me a tale

I really wonder who you are
and what it is
that connects us
in this very special way

you take away the pain
the restless thoughts
which try hard to kill me
to break me once more

I've always longed for a rest
some peace of mind
a kind of freedom
I never understood

I never wanted to be on the run
chasing from chance to chance
trying to keep up with others
fighting for my life

since I've been a small one
I had to proof
that I was as good
as they were

sometimes I don't know
what I would have done
without you
and your tales

and yet
you were alway there
you gave me a refuge
my place of peaceful rest

time to find myself
good advices
you believed in me
and still do
