Gedicht der Woche [KW 28]:

Sinner and Saint

There’s a devil and an angel heart

Both beating in my chest.

Sometimes I can’t tell them apart

Unless I put myself to test.

I’m both a sinner and a saint -

It only needs a trigger

To unleash either pure restraint

Or outright, vicious rigor.

I can’t deny both have become

A truly vivid part of me

Which I can never make undone -

But I don’t want no remedy.

Like light needs day and darkness night

I do need both my hearts inside.
