NEVER AGAIN
unfinished fragment with music / © Kerstin Dröge, 1996

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well ... just a fragment. I wrote it for Sibylle; she was there when I needed her.
I always wanted to finish it by adding today's view ... well, maybe one day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I never knew the feeling when all strength seems to be gone
I was so used to work things out, have in the end all battles won
Now motivation's just not there, it slips away, won't get things done
This drives me crazy, drives me nuts, want to break out, just want to run
but I am stuck
in the middle of a hazy shade of helplessness and pain
not again, not again, never again!

There she was, just when I needed her, just in the nick of time
She told me all I had to know, nothing withheld, the naked truth
She caught me in my deepest fall although she'd also been a danger
And made a promise I would never have believed of any stranger.

And she said I would rise like the Phoenix from the ashes
but I still see just ashes and pictures unkind.
I just hope she will be right as she always was before
and those pictures will vanish from my mind.
