where even sleep is laced with sorrow.

 

A dream found me today,

In the heavy arms of an afternoon nap,
Where even sleep is laced with sorrow.

You came, sitting beside my bed,
Eyes so deep, I could drown in their ocean.
Together, we fled the suffocating walls,
But wait—why are you leaving me
In this haunted house?

I run after you, breathless,
You stand, waiting, in a mansion by the sea.
The ocean stretches before us, vast,
We kissed so long, until a stranger’s hand
Pushed us beneath the waves.

Now we are drowning,
I cannot breathe,
Losing every sense,
Yet I strain to see you.

My golden-haired man, my German love,
Our sadness spills into the sea.
So many now rest beneath the waters,
But I search for you still,
Through the blue haze.

Your sorrow, and me—
Bound to this endless search.
Your sadness, and me—
Adrift in this sea of tears.
