Two seconds - Too much


They say it takes around three seconds
to cast a love spell over somebody
Three seconds in which the world
around us just crumbles and falls apart
three seconds in which our eyes meet
three seconds in which it is just
you and me

They say a smile isn't real without
small wrinkles around the eyes
A „Hello“ is so short, it is even
more insignificant than our goodbyes
A split second in our everydays
that means the world to me

I go back to my day, you go back to yours
I will forget about you in my
mountain of papers and rivers of letters
You wont even recognize
my patently obvious confusion

There is no we, there is no us
There is just you and me
and two seconds too much

Losing Game

Weigh down my heart, sweet soul, Like a gigantic stone on my chest, I am broken, I am no longer whole, You laid my tormented heart to rest. The days pass by and I miss you still, Mom said ”he’ll never come back”, And I cried out ”Oh, but he will”, It’s the companionship that I lack. I’m still so confused, because I never got to know, if you had any feelings for me, or did you just put up a show? Do you even miss me? I try to tell myself that you dont remember, or that someone else makes you happy, But way back then in November, We were closer than ever, even a bit sappy. Listening to Duncan Laurences ”Arcade” on repeat, I, too, got addicted to a losing game, And I still hope that we would meet, But I guess you have put out our flame. You ran away from me, one time too many, And I finally stopped chasing, No more chances, if there ever were any, that final end game was emaciating. I know it hurts, I know it’s torture, But I d...

Savner dig for evigt

  Savner dig for evigt Jeg kører hjem i min bil, men er det egentlig ”hjem”? For det føltes som ”hjem”, da jeg lå i dine arme Nu kører jeg bare forgæves efter et sted, der føles lige sådan, Endløse kilometer uden dig, farer rundt som en rastløs fugl, med tårer i mine øjne, når der spiller en sang, der minder mig om dig. Der er så mange ting i denne verden, som jeg ikke forstår, Men du efterlod mig med et stort spørgsmålstegn over mit hoved, Og et stort hul, hvor mit hjerte lå en gang. Og det er svært ikke at bebrejde migselv, eller søge efter en grund, hvorfor du efterlod mig, for hvad er der galt med mig? Der er intet galt med mig. Jeg forsøgte at knække koden, men jeg vidste bare, at det eneste jeg kunne stille op med, var at lade dig gå, så du selv kunne finde ud af, hvad det er du vil. Og så rejser jeg verden rundt, og skulle søge efter en tro kopi af dig, men der er ingen der matcher din humor, det glimt i øjet, da du endeligt kiggede på mig,...

Honor

It‘s a tragedy of sorts when I look into your puppy eyes I know I‘m meant to think this is inappropriate But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me And turn around to give you the cold shoulder in an effort to make it stop On one hand, I wish you would disappear into an abyss and take all the mixed feelings, set me free But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me I live through another day behind the counter in an effort to make it stop On the other hand, it is you who stares into my eyes And I‘m wondering who started the masquerade But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me And I don‘t really want it to end either so I don‘t make an effort to make it stop I‘m wondering what is going to happen with us It is inevitable that one of us has to leave But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me I wish you all the best for your life with her I will leave in an effort to make it stop
