Redemption

I’m emptied from inside

Like an old forest tree

Eaten away ring by ring

From deep within

Except the bark

And when the slightest breeze waves its arms

I fall flat on the ground

Like a drunken man falling to oblivion

I’m taken away by you

Like an unclaimed property

Like a trophy of your another triumph

We sang together

We read together

We ate together

We smoked together

But when I reached home alone

I realized

You sang a part of me away

You read what you shouldn’t have

You ate my dreams like your favourite dish

You smoked me into a cloud

I am all rain

I’m a desire hanging in your wardrobe now

There is no redemption in love

No resurrection after first sight

No rebirth after first touch

I’m dead timbre now

Chipped, shaved and polished perfectly for use

Use me for your window at least

So when you stand near me

I’ll see what you see

I’ll feel what you feel

When you’ll be waving

Your loved ones away

And you’ll watch them leave

I’ll be witness to your teary eyes

And console you with coming spring

That’s is my only hope

That’ll be my only absolution
