3. thanks for the OP, there is not enough poetry shared in the world, thus great insights are lost

by Karin Boye (a great Swedish poet:D )

Du är min renaste tröst

Du är min renaste tröst,
du är mitt fastaste skydd,
du är det bästa jag har,
ty intet gör ont som du.

Nej, intet gör ont som du.
Du svider som is och eld,
du skär som ett stål min själ
du är det bästa jag har.




You Are My Purest Comfort

You are my purest comfort,
my most steadfast shelter,
you are the best I have,
for nothing hurts as much as you.

No, nothing hurts as you.
You ache like ice and fire,
you cut like steel my soul
you are the best I have.
