One Million Tries

Floating with the waves
Far far away
I remember still
Every time I’ve lost to a feel
Falling deeper into my inner void

Far away in dear memories I go
To rest apart from the real world
And be myself for a little while
The weak and lonely child

Loneliness is my pill from new wounds
My hideaway and safe zone
Where I can heal old scars of youth
Though I’ve never really wished to be alone

I couldn’t feel, I couldn’t trust
Only long lonely nights
Beneath starlit sky of unfulfilled wishes

Let me feel again
Lead me out from my hideaway
Show me another day
So I can breathe again

Walk with me under the stars
Not sleeping till early morning
Scent of dew on fresh mown grass
And sweet smile like first pure feeling

Let me dream of this real
Painting the new day with bright colours
I wish to reach this feel
Embracing you tight, as we are lovers

I write my wish in a diary
To awaken the melody
Of another dawn to bring it to me

Hear me through my rhymes
As they scream from your screen
Louder than thunder and bombs
Let your heart feel through the real
I am worth one million tries
