I jumped at the idea of love With nothing behind my eyes but the desire to be desired I jumped so high I reached cloud nine Only to fall flat from all the lies The naivete that would devour my body Would justify all the questioning and misery That would coexists with my love for you Making somehow think it could only be true The relief I felt was fleeting As I feel-if not more- as unlovable as before consumed by what you called only a feeling giving your body or heart is a similar chore The one remedy I have to this imfirmity Is my now torn heart that divinely still hangs low on my sleeve . knowing that in your brain theres more of ‘everythings’ than there is of me And that you and I were nothing but a knock off tragedy

A tale as old as time
I am thirsty i am ready to drink out of anycup and taste any flavour The drink I have is not to my liking , not everything is everyone’s cup of tea , Yet I can’t waste it , I cannot afford to go down thirsty. I owe it to myself to stay alert and ready Yet I don’t quite know this drink is it a deadly remedy ? in uncertainty, I hide it from the world I'm driven by objectivity , not the four letter word I have no preference for this drink although it is all I got I don’t like it here , but I don’t want it gone . Should I close my eyes and drown my senses In a flavour my body remembers, One it aches for every second, each instant , Should I try and compensate the mind with mere imitation ?

What am I drinking?
I knew you’d live in me this way With me here and you over there Me alone , you with company Though we both know who’s more lonely I knew things would end this way Hugging myself ever so tightly Staring at all things tall and all things green Seeing you in nature’s scenery Where does the love go ? When it’s never spoken for , never shown The burn so painful and ever so slow Tell me where does the love go ?

Fatality
Maybe we should refrain from thinking strength and perseverance As qualities that allows you to push through life As you , my flesh and blood simply persever in your agony And are so strong in embracing Great Depression Maybe being just ‘strong’ isn’t what we’re after Maybe it’s being strong in Hope not the latter . Wanting happiness with an uknown fierceness that makes it impossible for you to accept the turmoil Persevering in your quest to happiness that your cells fight the sorrow away in life not in death Because strength as a life driving force is what we’re after Strength can be found in everything , in the meak and in your pained soul But let it be found in your heart , in your inherit will to live and in your inherit need for happiness . Let your strength be found in the things that matter

Do you want to be strong ?
I can’t stand the rain I can only stand the sun I can’t stand the pain But I quite like the burn I think I need assistance Only now adulthood lurks over my shoulder How do I ask for help When I should have asked sooner? The chore is found in the rest and in the stress Nothing in me seems to have what it takes to complete this test The hope I’ve cultivated since youth has grown into a sour fruit Too bitter to be eaten and not yet ripe

Im 19 and the wind knocks me off my feet
You consume so little of my time now So I’ll let this one be yours . I thought I thought of you out of habit But I don’t think of you at all now . My heart vibrates at the songs I wrote in your name And it remembers the melody of the beauty and despair My heart sinks when I hear your name As It remembers the sound my gentle guitar made As it remembers my pain . And when someone mentions your name , My mind goes blank Looking for something that’s no longer there . If it wasn’t for this ache in my heart , I would have forgotten my love for you , If , it wasn’t for the time we spent I wouldn’t even remember you And I torture myself to find out how , You that was the earth , sun and moon combined , Now fall into the category of " worst I’ve ever had" How something at the center of my heart goes vacant And I don’t notice , don’t even know how . I guess your love has left me with something It hasn’t quite left me empty , As you can see I’m still breathing Something I deemed impossible if you were ever to leave me And I’m left with misplaced pride That tells me I was right for doing the right decisions Although I can feel your absence will give place to wrong ones I guess somewhere leaving you was the mission .

Aftermath
You’ll talk about your love for bikes And how one day she’ll ride Yours like she did last night I know you’ll tease her about that Two mornings from now you’ll love fantasy And forget all about Dostoevsky Rekindle your love for Harry Potter Forsake the Jane Austen The romance , the tender

Love’s remplacement
How much mistakes can one make in a lifetime ? Are they all concentrated at adolescence ? Or do they splatter to taint your whole life ? Are we meant to be flawed with no possible return ? They are so many questions I mean to ask. Are we always burdened by the right decisions ? Why does the wrong seem so **** right ? Can I let go and use my free will right now ? Why am I weighed down by the hesitation ? Why does what I want and what I need not align ? Although they stem from the same being , same mind From the same soul and the same heart There are so many questions I mean to ask . My mind is cribbled with so many memories That disappear as time flies by I wonder if someone else will also recognise me by scent Or if  they will all just pass me by . if someone else will anticipate what I say and guess it right i wonder if someone else will know me at all

HOW MANY LOVES DO WE GET IN ONE LIFETIME?
Wish to play with my muse till the day I die Wish for us to be never separated by space and time Will god leave us the time for the storm to calm down ? Let it be a year or two , let our infatuation transcend this lifetime . Are you not curious to see what fixing ourselves could bring? I loved the sinner , you love the sin Putting such blasphemy behind us Can heal us both , from within . Time only makes things better Praying time can make them forget And make us a stronger, greater And forsake all the regrets . Will the distance be seen as hate and not a final act of love ? I wonder when unconditional love is no longer vertue  but vice You’ll never feel like what I gave was never enough Cause I gave you a glance , before drowning in our demise

I wish to play with my muse till the day I die
I think I need somebody, I think I need someone. someone to come and save me from my torment, save me from myself. I think I need somebody, I think I need someone, to save me from the ink, and the grasp of my pen I think I need somebody, I think I need someone, to save me, just to save me It seems to me like such an easy plan, to come and turn my life around I fix my flaws, make myself pretty but the fruit of it is still quite bland. I think I need somebody someone cause I’m that girl everybody knows You say my bark is all I got but truly I’m scared to know what will come of me if it was ever to stop. I guess it makes a lot of things we simply can’t agree on. I think I need a somebody, a someone, to lick my wounds when it gets to rough Fix me like kitsugi ,convince me that my ‘perfect’ is still quite enough. Because what is a a shiny metal covered in red and orange rust Need you to drip me in peroxide, colour with me with glitter rid me of dust. You call me gold, and I would remind you that I need to breathe Reducing me to shiny metal that loses it’s shine with every scream
