Mawe Mawe

you have your reasons
for disappearing

what they do not want to see
you have covered them all

down to the last word of your mouth
you swallowed it

and keep your mouth
shut, shut, shut

i guess you are happy
on the land of the ice

cold maybe
but the silence inside you

keeps the warmth.
we miss you somehow

and your art of
concealment but where

ever you are now
we wish you the best

if you come back
we are always here to pretend

nothing happened
and nothing happens still

in the bleak future
we are always here to keep our

mouths shut too.
we will always love you somehow.
