The Beauty of My World - Maximilian Hecker

Long ago I tried so hard to lose you and to be with you

All at the same time

Touching you and still staying afar

And lately you have tried so hard to soothe and to caress me

Oh while all I dreamed of was to hide away, yet to be found

And someday I will trail my spirit’s voice

And hold on to what it says

And maybe I will be astounded by the beauty of my world

And nowadays I only seem to find my peace in piles of shards of failed attempts

to love

And failed attempts to take my life
