City

Grief is holding me now , 
In this hole I have fallen ,
My skin is burning down,
by the secrets I have been keeping,
And my tears are running dry.
On my painful past ,
I shut my eyes,
In This dead city ,
I have seen enough.
My heart is paved by numbness,
My spirit is tormented by the disease,
My head is bursting out ,
I can never sit at ease ,
Many thoughts keeping me sleepless in my bed.
I can feel no hope ,
Hanging at the end of this fragile rope.
Like a wall or like a stone ,
Like the buildings surrounding me ,
Like a car or a plane ,
I lost my human side,
And this I can no longer hide ;
In the sickness I find health ,
In the darkness I find joy,
And in the loneliness I feel full .
I need my soul to go out ,
My skin to get off ,
I need trees and green fields and flowers,
I need nature for long hours,
I need my sorrow to calm down ,
I need myself out of this town ..
