You are the nightmares I wish to hide.
The pain I thread; the fevered suffer inside.
Enter at your please, for all this time I 'lied':
Tortured memories at the gates………. Open wide!

We know well each other:
Not like a sister or brother,
Neither as sensuous lovers
But in the feeding misery you saunter.
Feel. Kiss my lips with yours as icy, cold.
Trace on me a life once told.
Let limbs pierce; around me enfold:
It's my soul you crave again to hold
As the withered fall
And the dying hush their call,
For me sacrifice your sickened all
Just as fools could want such a worthless toll!

Shake me; wake me up, could I be falling back in destiny?
Sit back, it's hard, it's tough to resist fate beseeching me!

Still those tears, I imagine, are so sweet;
Reflecting pleasant blames of you at my feet.
Maybe true, this shall not be the last time we meet
But mire is no longer there for me to greet

And the endless sky has never looked so fine:
It's pure blue in no other way was so mine.
In my peaceful reverie I draw up a line:
Through all one's fears white light still shines!
