"Sleepless Frankness"

At dawn,

Impeccably forlorn,

I

Was alone.

My fears,

My longings

Reappeared.

So clear—

My sleepless soul 

Had dawn woken. 

Unintentionally,

My mind was captive—

Brutally—

Frank and awoken. 

“Einmal ist keinmal” 

Everything is so far away. 

The internet wouldn’t load;

I clicked on your face,

Only blankness floats. 

Warm forehead,

Faint, pained, 

The question wouldn’t go. 

The overwhelming city doesn’t hold. 

The faithful lover wants to grow old

With me

Me, who yearns 

And churns 

For cursed

Timing; thirsts

For heart-wrenching,

Consciousness-stopping 

Lyrics, for

Folded pages

Similar feelings

Touching

Remembering

Not understanding.
