I find solace
in this relentless rain.
It embraces me,
relieves me of my pain.
Drenched completely through,
I start anew.
Not flawless
but forgiven,
true.

If only I, too,
could be quickly tuned.
I would have been the happiest, and by far.
Alas, I’m not an innocent guitar.
My worn out strings can’t possibly be replaced.
The stains in my core can’t ever be erased.
I’m crushed by my burdens, a whole repertoire!
Jaded, woeful, ruined…
No, I can’t be tuned.

When my mind had stopped being my friend,
I learned to believe my sorrow.
When “the thought” persists, I no longer pretend
that it all will pass by tomorrow.
Truth be told, it’s not going away.
It is what it is, despite what they say.
And it can’t be changed by a pill nor a blade,
nor the empty fads our society made.
I also learned that the days in between
can be precious enough to treasure within
the empty space in my broken heart.
So I made a promise to allow my mind
to be sad on the days it wants to be sad,
just like that, without fighting.
it allowed me to put down the blade,
and things became easier, slightly.
When my mind had stopped being my friend
I didn’t really have to fight it.
Not friends, not enemies, we still coexist.
No trust, no pretence — just, one and another.
It is what it is, it’s not going away,
but we no longer harm each other.

You deserve only the best in life:
a big house, a dog, kids and a wife.
You deserve what you've always wanted.
I'm different—forever haunted.
Me staying, will only hurt you more.
I will not confess to you, therefore.
As I leave you to a life of bliss,
let me give you this one gentle kiss.

You played me like a violin
with sweetest words and promises of sin.
And all I did was sing along, dance
in the gentle prison of your arms.
I gave in to your deceiving tunes,
to the symphony of lies and ruin.
Our song didn’t even last that long—
you left me in the rain all alone.
Doing everything to please you, I
lost the melody that was uniquely mine.
As the raindrops wash me of your touch,
I regret having met you so much.

In the rain
through the pain
I'm letting you go.
I don't even know
if you felt the salt
on my lips,
when I kissed
your sorrows away,
paving me the way
to endless torture,
to my misfortune.
Millennia
without you,
my tears
will fall.

I crumble...
Your gentle kiss strikes me like lightning
Under your lips my world falls apart
Like thunder,
my heart rumbles inside. Frightening,
how it yearned for you from the start
I’m melting
from your heated breath like snow.
I wonder
why you thought to kiss me so…

Sing me a melody of sunset hues,
paint me the colours of its symphony.
Kiss me as if you have nothing to lose.
And in return, I’ll gift you all of me.

a wedding kiss —
a promise of forever,
a road to happiness,
eternal bliss.
a wedding kiss —
the line that we would never,
together cross.
forgive me as I steal
this solitary rose
to seal my oath.

You kiss without reservations, always have,
be there friends around, an unfamiliar crowd.
Always bold, you claim what's yours with passion, pride,
drawing a fit of laughter out of your bride.
You care not for daggers piercing through my heart,
or for the way you shatter what's left of hope
I carried through our years of friendship. No, you do not.
As your best friend, the best man, I’ll play the part
but don’t expect me to be here when this marriage falls apart.
She isn't right for you (I am!) You know this to be true, you do.
As soon as you exchange your vows, I'll leave and I won't miss you.
It doesn't matter that everything inside me screams to kiss you.
Ah, who am I kidding? I will be here for your every need.
When everything inside me crumbles, and even when I bleed.
I'm prisoned by my love for you, my dear friend. I can't be freed.
