Moin!
So, heute habbich 'n paar hübsche "Special Effects" für Euch. Zum Beispiel ein "Gedicht im Gedicht". Außerdem ist das Folgende mein erstes Werk, dass mich selber zum weinen gebracht hat - höchst interessant. Und ja, deutsch gibt's mal wieder nicht - vielleicht verhandle ich aber mal mit Charlot, ob ich sie nicht als Übersetzerin anheuern kann oder so.  Und ja, das alles ist selbstverständlich rein fiktiv...
Have I failed?
So many years have passed
And though I've tried to forget
It just keeps coming back
Can't get it out of my head
How you came to me that night
A smiling face, your eyes so bright
You said you'd written a poem for me
I still hear your voice reading it out loud:
Sometimes love paints all to black
Sometimes there's no turning back
But I've made up my mind
And I hope I will find
Everything I've always wanted
All the things I did never know
Everything that can't be found here
In whatever place I'll go
Don't ever cry a tear for me
Not now, not then
'cause I know there'll come a time
We'll meet again
The next morning I realized
I was in our bed all alone
Wondering why you weren't there
Wondering where you had gone
Walking downstairs I found you
Like sleeping in peace
Almost sure you'd wake up any moment
Hadn't there been all that blood
I would even have believed it
I don't know if I held you an hour or a year
But I know I let go much too soon
My prayers for time to run backwards
For the earth to stop turning
For your heart to start beating again
Remained unheard
I swear I didn't cry a tear for you
Not once through all the years
But tonight I can't hold it back no more
It's a whole ocean running down my cheek
Have I failed now?
Have I failed?
I take out a pen and I start to write...:
Sometimes love paints all to black
Sometimes there's no going back
But I've made up my mind
And I know I will find
My heart once again
That you stole me back then
I'll meet you, I know
In this place I will go
We'll be together forever in peace
Even if that's just wishful thinking and not true
It'll still be better than living here without you
Have I failed now?
Have I failed?
