Today

It took me 5 years to write this poem. Very personal. Very true.

TODAY

Today must be a beautiful day

Thought I’m happy and okay

Death visits me by surprise

Hear Him saying: „you’ll be mine.”

„No”, I said, „I’m truly fine.

I have this Flower, my sunsine.”

Death looks sorrow and rigid

„Pain is heavy, let me take it”.

„Your life is long and uneventful

Give me now your most beautiful.”

„I don’t want to listen to lies.”

He replies: „she’ll be mine.”

„Lies and lies and only lies.

You don’t know her, she’s my light,

My Flower, my everything.

Having her is destiny.

You’ll never know her as I do,

This is magic you can’t undo.

I’ll protect her with my life,

I’ll have to see her live and shine.”

„Foolish girl”, Death replied.

„Nothing settled, nothing tied.

Flowers aren’t meant to last forever.

Not even you can break this circle.”

„I won’t let you, she’s all my hope.”

„You have to learn more about love.”

„No,” I cried, „I need more time.

„Love is pain, now your love is mine.”

„I won’t let you, I rather die

I’m not scared of your fake smile.”

„Hush, my child, it’s called destiny

You had just a minute from eternity.”

Here I’m on the cold bathroom floor.

I’m alone and the pain is gone.

All that’s left is a sacrifice

That today I didn’t die.
