Oh my Sun

My Sun

I flew towards the sun

until my wings got burned.

I flew around the earth

I wish at that time

someone would have pulled me

to the ground...

before I crashed and burned,

lost everything I loved.

I sank into the ocean

My soul and heart a wreck

still wishing, still wishing

I could go back.

But the waves welcomed me with

their open arms

before they pulled me down

into their depths.

Down there I have no thoughts

No pain, I cannot be upset

In that water, deep, deep under

I fell asleep.

The clouds cried for me

my failure so inept

The sun stretched its arms

around my meager body

Pulled me out

of deaths iron grip.

Held me high and steady

I should´ve known that second

I would burn again

when my weak heart started beating

to the flaming sun

I returned...
