American that gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand
he made a game of song titles just to hear my sigh and see my smile and deep down i knew that behind his smile there lay a long, broken path that led to a blackhole and this blackhole was his mind. and as the days died, died, died so did he. he stopped his game and i started to realize that the game was not about the songs or my sighs but instead it was about a cry for help that i never heard

a river flows in you and i guess that's how you drowned
you were the pendulum of my clock; without you, i still ticked but not once did i ever have the same rhythm as before

love is a clock
i miss the feeling of bound paper in my hands full of secrets the whole world has access to yet few choose to indulge in the secrets that rest right in front of them imagination seems to be a thing of the past there's a certain amount of personal pleasure one seeks when reading that not all novels are capable of. those that are are precious, and you feel almost selfish when you hold it close and read its beauty. i miss the unspoken joy literature and a good plot grant me and i am at once satisfied from heart to mind. it's the book lullaby i enjoy the most the calm, rhythmic words forming sentences, pages, books.... they lull me to sleep and i dream, dream, dream of worlds and people i will never be lucky enough to meet. people say they aren't real fictional, they call them but it's more than that these characters taught me more than any other human has come close to. their unique originality i cannot find anywhere else but in the combination of letters that we call books and it's this book lullaby that keeps me loving, caring, it's the source of my passion and the source of my dreams sweet, sweet inspiration that is one of a kind

Je suis désolé
It was the moment we were born. Seconds apart, we came into the world. It always annoyed us, always bothered us that neither of our parents could remember which was older, the first from the womb We would always tease each other But we were inseparable all the same. It was the year that we changed to the lonely, bitter I. The year I went to my first funeral and staring into the coffin numbly, I remember seeing an almost exact replica of myself And that was the moment I broke.

one day i met a prince. but his crown was not as gold not as perfect, not as wealthy as his heart.

i tell myself you were never worth it but that is my head and what my heart tells me is the truth. one time, you were. you were always, always worth my time, my words. and still, i'm thinking, remembering and i realize i still want to to spend my time, my words on you and only you like old times even thinking that it's a waste to even bother all because that one time it was perfect. it was beautiful. it was infinite. we were perfect. we were beautiful. we were infinite. but past tense gives away all of my story

walk away
at the edge of every cliff you face you have the option to fly, or to fall.
