Stefanie Haertel

drift away

I drift away on an ocean of tears 
can’t see an island.
I’m waiting for you here and for your help
but  I guess I have to help myself.
 
Nights are cold
days are long.
Don’t want to be lost
so I have to be strong.
 
Can you hear the voice?
It was an outcry of my heart.
I’m drifting away
and make a new start.
 
Too dark to see
too bright to light a candle.
Too far away to help
too close to let go.
Too different to understand
too similar to pretend.
Too unknown to show
too well-known to hide.
 
Nights are cold
days are long.
Don’t want to be lost
so I have to be strong.
 
Can you hear the voice?
It was an outcry of my heart.
I’m drifting away
and make a new start.
