The Elegant Blow to the Heart


sorrow must have put this wingless angel before me
promising to take me to some far away desert
where trees grow only when you love
but everybody knows angels do not exist

desire breaks the chains that bind me to your heart
but can the heart fulfill its own destiny?
i dare say it doesn't, but lies just fill up my mouth
so don't listen to me, for there is no such thing as destiny

shall we curse this game until we both have lost
or is it better to sink into the depths of the ocean until no one can save us?
there are two options, but we should only choose one
that is true in almost everything

one day the doors will fling open and you will finally find what you've been looking for
if by any chance i am standing on the outside - besides you - looking in
do not hesitate on letting me know and telling me all about it
even though i will have already turned around and started walking away

only then will i learn... there were never any options
