keep the wall up

i shed a single tear
and carried it all the way
into your heart, where
it did not reach you,
i carried it all the way
to the milky way,
from where we never returned,
stars dropping from a sky,
so blue, so dark, so beautiful,
over the bridge comes
the golden star, all alone,
and touches your skin
with my heart-shaped longing

i shed a single tear,
you did not notice,
keep the wall up,
life is too risky
to be touched by it,
keep the wall up
and everything
that happens to you
will just not be true,
it is so simple to run from your destiny

i shed a single tear
and carried it all the way
into my own heart
where it opened a secret door
to a chamber filled with wonders,
everything that happens to me
will be true,
it is so simple: there is no destiny
