Lucky

I was back to the old bridge.
A long forgotten bridge in the forest.
It was a railway bridge.
Now covered and hidden by grass and trees.
But what a beauty.
Rusty but strong.

I like heading out there.
Standing on the railing and looking down.
Down into a riverbed which dried out long ago.
I am there at least once a week.
Some urge always drags me there
to find some rest and some peace.
It is all so quiet there.
Peaceful.
After some hours when I get back home I am thinking
“Another day on which I did not jump off the railing.”

“Yet”

The fog

Early autumn morning.
It is foggy outside.
I dress up and leave the house.
Already late because i had to wash the dishes and some other housework.
But finally I managed to run off and get into nature.
Here I start running.
Much too fast through this dense fog.
Reaching the woods I would not slow down.
A twig hits me on my cheek.
My bad.
Why did i had to go at this time.
Why did I have to choose this path?
But I struggle on.
After all I like fog.
And the tingling feeling it creates on my skin.
Then fog lightens.
I can see the ground in front of me.
One step further and i would have fallen in a great abyss
which appeared directly in front of me.
I smile.
Then I jump.

The last moment

This moment.
When everything collapse.
Falls down on you.
Everything you built up.
Everything you wished.
Everything you hoped for.
Everything you ruined.
Finally.
Everything rebels.
And comes down on you.

This one moment is the key.
The key to everything.
This one moment is memory.
Memories for all that happened.
Then you let go.
For the first time.
For the last time.
Finally the day has come,
for the last moment.

Die Autofahrt

Wie die Felder am Fenster vorbei ziehen.
All die neuen Eindrücke die man am Steuer verpasst.
Die Welt beobachten.
Ich mache es mir auf der Rückbank gemütlich.
Füsse ausstrecken und zurückfallen lassen.
Ein schönes Gefühl.
Eine sehr angenehme Reise.
Ohne sich auf die Strasse zu konzentrieren.
Einfach die Gedanken schweifen lassen.
Die Augen schließen und auf eine Reise gehen.
Nur das Herz blutet noch immer.
Es war eine gute Idee von dem Fahrersitz
auf die Rückbank zu klettern.

And black it becomes

Fading to grey
All colors gone.
Withered to different shades of grey.
Scolded for shining too bright.
Punished for existence.
Stabbed and bleeding out.
Traces burnt to ash.
Forever gone.
Since forever erased.
No memory shall ever remain.
For all the time just grey.
In eternity meant to darken.

Alt

Alt genug, daß ich meine Freunde nicht meinem Schmerz belästige.
Alt genug, um nicht unkontrolliert in Tränen auszubrechen.
Alt genug, um zu lachen trotz meiner Gedanken.

Bald zu alt, um meinen einzigen Traum umzusetzen.
Bald zu alt, um meinen einzigen Wunsch zu realisieren.
Bald zu alt, um noch Hoffnung zu haben.

Ich bin zu alt, um in einer Traumwelt zu leben.
Zu alt, um unrealistische Vorstellungen zu haben.
Zu alt, als das ich einfach zum Telefonhörer greifen könnte.
