Your radiance

[Krebsgestoeber]

Your radiance - unbearable.
Not mean, not false, not terrible,
Not even pretty, as it seems,
No image of my present dreams.

Perceiving slightly,
That we’re tightly
Bound to one another, but
I don’t want to recognize
You as my own flesh and blood.

Horrified I toss and turn
When you begin approaching me.
A broken glance is what you earn
My soul was always taught to flee.

I need you now for otherwise
My sleep would fall apart.
A trembling shadow on the rise
Conceals my hoping heart.

I like this very much. You can read it several times, each with a different kind of meaning. Furthermore, you have a nice feeling for the text structure and rhythm.

There is enough like this but still the pain is too unbearable.
