Krevel and Nehmen's Poems
She has left me, I hear you say.You are in my arms, broken and crying, and I don‘t know how to soothe your pain. I wish that I had paid better attention, that I had foreseen what she would do. But those are just wishes. They can‘t bring her back to you. And so I wish that I was more.
And then… you forge a new life in your likeness, and call him Alan. You tell him that he will be with you forever. And you smile again, forgetting about her.
He has left me, I hear you say.
You are in my arms, betrayed and wailing, and I wish that I knew what to say. I cannot say the truth. It was you who drove him away. This time, I saw it unfold with my own two eyes, the way you always thought only of what he could give to you. I wonder if it was the same with her.
You take such a long time to stop crying at night. But eventually, you do. You still have your two brothers, I remind you. Together forever.
He has left us, I hear you say.
You are in my arms, angry and helpless. I can’t say anything. He truly has left us. There is only two of us now.
Can you hear me? Always by your ear. I am always here somewhere. This is my home as much as yours. Hey, brother. I am here. Don’t cry.
Don’t cry.
I love you.
I have found you, I hear you say.
You are in my arms, blissful and happy, and I finally know what to say.
Together forever. I love you.
The stars wink out one by one
The first star: my other half, who I loved like no one in my life
The second star: my son, who was created to be with me forever
The third star: my brother, who never told a lie
And I am in the dark
Cold, windy dark
Naked and screaming
“Why did you leave me”
I wish, somehow
Somehow,
I could help
But I have known you for too long
I know that you will not see me
And still I will wait here
Until the end of eternity
Waiting for you
“I love you”
“You were meant to be with me forever”
“We are brothers”
They fall flat on the stone and shatter
The patient arms
The gentle voice
The silent love
I wish that I had heard it sooner
Why will you not see
that what you always chased after
is right by your side?
Patient love, that one
I always thought, Krevel, he ain’t interested
He has some fun over at Kalikat’s, clears his head
Likes to come back home to nothing
He’s a loner, that one
I was wrong
How many years has it been
since you fell in love with me?
Sparkles and jitters
Lights dance behind my eyelids
You are everything
You fill my world with light and warmth
I am no longer cold
I can hope again
