As if a split Berlin
carried in my heart
this moment when collapsed
every plot of land in my being
digs on this barricade
Set up by a wall of fear,
I try to know
where my soul hides this facade
so badly loved
as it only knew hours
of intouchable solitude

As if this morning, I awoke
my heart broke
and found a starving space
where I felt being reborn
Eager for a touch of embrace
whatever your mood
Uncaring about appearances
I open a way for remembrance
and love you without any apprehension
in my urge to be lived in
