Beschreibung

"Full Moon" is divided into three different chapters, which I named after the phases of the moon (the phases before the full moon), these phases are at the same time an allusion to your development: everything you have experienced in your life made you the person you are today.

counterfeit love

do you remember the days

we spent outside on the meadow

covered with flowers?

where we forgot our sorrows

because we were talking

and laughing for hours?

take me back

does any kind of love have something like

an end or a beginning? I can only find my-

self in the middle of it, heavily spinning

I think I can hear what you’re thinking and

you’re not thinking out loud

soulmate

I would have lied for you, even if that meant

lying to myself

ripping out pages from my love letter

you never righted your wrongs

how foolishly I was hoping for the better

ripping you out from my thought process

thinking of you isn’t clever

yeah, even though I promised to stay

you showed me

we weren’t meant to last forever

I’m not good at

hiding or keeping my secrets

but you’re the greatest secret

I have ever kept

you n I are like a blossoming flower

that I want to protect

and about the bond we have

I simply don’t want to brag

it is something only between the two of us

something dearly bought

that I need to hold back

the abandoned home

the frames on the desk are rusty,

on the floor lies broken glass,

the shards became dusty,

and my heart’s racin’ fast

I vaguely remember the words

we threw across the room,

and when we said it’s over,

and I silently hoped

you’d come back soon

the colours we painted on these walls

are slowly fading,

in the place

I am now standing,

in the place

we used to call home

my life is dark,

this room is dark,

who will take the paint brush,

and repaint these walls?

please say you’re here, too,

I can’t fix this on my own,

this place,

this messed-up relationship,

this abandoned home

I did not ask you to be my sun

that brightens up my whole life

or to be my moon

that shines on my darkest night

to beautify my sky for a brief moment

– maybe after the sunrise –

would’ve been enough

or am I still asking too much?

with you time froze

days were overly long,

even the sun didn’t seem

to want to set

when we watched her

and played our favourite song

why did you leave?

I leafed through the book of our story and

saw we didn’t have a happy ending

my eyes

saw

your eyes

revealing

all your lies

and I still decided

to forgive you

you take me up so high

I believe there is no ceiling

and only sky

I thought I knew you inside out

and all your secrets by heart

but I see, it wasn’t the real you

it was only in my mind

and a kind of beautiful mirage

I talked about you
