Loesch mir die Augen aus
Extinguish both my eyes: I see you still;
Slam shut my ears: I can still hear you talking;
Without my mouth i can implore your will
And without feet: Towards you i keep on walking.
Break off my arms: I shall still hold you tight;
My heart will yet embrace you all the same.
Suppress my heart: My brain knows no deterrent;
And if at last you set my brain aflame
I carry you still on my bloodstream’s current.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke


Did I love you enough,show you.
I feel guilty those last moments after,
I was cold.
I can not live those moments
I will die from them,
I pray you forgive me, my failings, my lack,
my unfeeling feeling.
I pray you understand, that you weren't confused, or lost.
I pray you found what you needed to find out in the after.
I pray hard that I can feel again.
and not close off.
I pray for your silent guidance.

Amen.
