She
|
By Frank Peter Hermsen
|
|
In the shade of an old church-steeple
|
|
Between dead leaves and howling wind
|
|
On a tree beyond an overgrown grave
|
|
On a creeping, deadly, eternal rope
|
|
She hangs now with open eyes
|
|
Filled with tears dry and cold
|
|
Promised was a short, quiet crash
|
|
A single moment, a final pain
|
|
A death-rattle meaning goodbye
|
|
And a final farewell to the insane
|
|
Hope for the eternal redemption
|
|
And for tears around her grave
|
|
For a sea of flowers and
|
|
Beautyfull words for a life-long slave
|
|
A sadly farewell to someone
|
|
With a noose around her neck
|
|
And with the piercing knowledge
|
|
That she will never come back
|
|
But she is still alone
|
|
Waiting for death to lead her home
|
|
A life without breathing without crieing
|
|
Sleeping without silence in her heart
|
|
Always searching always crawling
|
|
Her feet become cold, the symptoms start
|
|
Her short, quiet sobs noone can hear
|
|
Everything changes into a terrible fear
|
|
Promised was peace and eternal silence
|
|
Her release from her tries to blast the wall
|
|
Her release from ignore and disregard
|
|
Her release from reaching nothing at all
|
|
Knowledge of the riddles in her past
|
|
Wisdom about everything that is
|
|
Her desire for a helping hand
|
|
Her wish for an unambicious kiss
|
|
Her desire for truthness
|
|
And for a real warm heat
|
|
Her wish for a knife to cut the rope
|
|
And for something to warm her feet
|
|
But she is still alone
|
|
And there´s no death to lead her home
|
|
A sudden movement - neverending
|
|
Her last hope terribly dies
|
|
A short moment filled with panic
|
|
But she still can´t close her eyes
|
|
And with the last sound of this song
|
|
Her very last breath has been done
|
|
