You, Me and Her

I know

you will think of
her in your
altogether empty
room tonight again
your hands will long
for her
your eyes will dream
of her
your longing will
fall down to the
palm of your hands
knowingly that she
won't come

I know
you will wait for
her in your
altogether empty
room tonight again
-the name that you
can't forget, on
your lips
the picture that you
can't tear, on your
side
and the hopes that
are like the rusty
knives, in your
heart
knowingly that she
won't come back

I know

you will long for
her in your
altogether empty
room tonight again
your longing will
melt you like a
candle
your heart will
beat, a huge
loneliness
and your glances in
horizon like the
captain of a ship
which was foundered
knowingly that you
won't see her

I know

you will remember
her in your
altogether empty
room tonight again
the last line of a
sad song on your
tongue
after you go through
all the years like a
day
you'll cry longing
for her
knowingly you're
helpless

but I
in my single room
tonight again
will think of you
your eyes will burn
my eyes
I will be spilled
like broken
wineglasses from the
windows
being obstinate with
those poison songs
I'll wait for you
again
