Help Me
Help me look ahead,
without crying over what has passed,
to see what else lies on the horizon,
without feeling my body in pain.
Help me, help me.
For I never knew a middle path,
and the two branches were not made by me.
I was born as a verdict—only verdict I ever knew.
Why did You create me as two?
With me there is not even one;
nor will I ever feel as one—
for I am two.
I am ashamed to ask forgiveness,
my eyes burn within the fire.
I ask—again and again I ask,
my eyes burn within the fire.
Help me look ahead,
without crying over what has passed.
Help me—look ahead,
without my body being in pain.
Help me—look ahead,
for there is nothing in me at all.
Help me, help me.
For I never knew a middle path,
and the two branches were not made by me.
I was born as a verdict—only verdict I ever knew.
Why did You create me as two?
With me there is not even one;
nor will I ever feel as one—
for I am two.
Help me look ahead,
without crying over what has passed.
Help me—look ahead,
without my body being in pain.
Help me look ahead,
for there is nothing in me at all.
Help me, help me.
