Astronaut’s Nightmare

No more love inside these walls of fear,
giving shelter against the x-ray sun.
I am lost in a cold, cold world of naked bodies,
and all I feel
is the frozen emptyness in my mind
and my endless longing for our love,
still filling my heart with warmth.
What is this life for?
And all these pictures of you I hold in my hands?
I am drifting through senseless realities,
down the river of no direction.
The upcoming storm is singing my lovesong for you,
and your freak perfume is leading me to the edge,
where I scream out your name into the darkness
we have once been standing in
and dancing,
dreaming of a love so deep and everlasting.
But now there is no eternity,
no hope for me and you,
no butterflies,
and no happy end in your arms, in your world,
and my tears are filling the diary of my dreams.
