Poesie an jedem Tag - 86

When you are not here,
and the sun neither sets nor rises,
with only the reluctant wafts of mist
bouncing on the streets,
I am nothing.
When you are not here,
the stars hiding from me,
telling me nothing,
not even a whisper
I am nothing.
When you are not here,
and I know someone else is there,
and the moon does not smile
only shining dull,
not even pretending to be wise,
I am nothing.
When you are not here,
and I forget
what I never should have forgotten,
the wind carrying me
not giving a direction
I am nothing.
When you are not here,
I am nothing
because you
are everything.
