LEAVING

The weather
Outside
Is like me
Inside
Stormy wind
Blows
Doesn't know
Where to go
Take me
Away storm
Let me fly
Into the sky
And never
Turn back
Again
Never return
Home
Again
Let me fly
To a different
World
Into my dream
Let come true
What I know
For myself
Since long
Time
Let me begin
A new life
Take me to
A place
Where I can
Begin
A second time
Let me leave
Behind
My destroyed
World
Let me forget
My memories
Please let me
Know
What I'm
Not able
To believe in
Show me
That there is
A way to
Go
That the hope
I cling to
Is not in vain
That the
Light which
Burns little
Will not
Fade
Anymore
Rain has
Run dry
And I
Cannot cry
My tears
Are kept
Deep inside
The clouds
On my
Mind
There are
Only few
Gaps
To look
Behind
Shining
Stars
Which
Fulfill
My life
Are burning
Out
And leave
Black holes
In me
That hurt
Remind me
Of my scars
Of loneliness
