Ich Vermisse Dich (I Miss You) Poem by Lynette Lawrence

Ich Vermisse Dich (I Miss You)



Ich schrieb es mit Blut in den Schnee:
"Ich vermisse dich und es tut so weh"
Ich schrie es mit all meiner Kraft über die Dächer:
"Wo bist du? " Alles was ich hörte war Gelächter.
Ich weinte und dachte:
"Alles nur wegen dir"
Doch ich gab mir die Schuld dafür.
Nun sitze ich hier und schreibe dieses Gedicht
alles was ich weiß
ist dass ich dich immer noch vermiss'.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is my first German poem, following the translation, but it doesn't rhyme in English.

I wrote it in the snow with blood:
"I miss you and it hurts so badly"
I shouted it over the roofs with all my strength:
"Where are you? " Everything I heard was laughter
I cried and thought:
"Everything just because of you"
But I blamed myself.
Now I'm sitting here writing this poem
everything I know is:
That I'm still missing you.

This poem is somehow inspired by the fairytale snowwhite.
For someone who meant a lot to me, but never really knew about that.

Blood, cold, snow, they all make a undertone of profound sadness. People tend to mock the german language these days, but I think it is one of the most sensitive and versatile out there. Thanks for the upload. -M

Kat, you know that it was my idea, you only caused it, I mean after you came along with this ice-eyes thing I thought of snow and Snowwhite and of blood, and I nearly forgot to mention, Snowwhite is neither my nor your idea, and you just caused it because of him and him, I mean leaves and ice, so it was no one's idea o.k.?
