Into the vastness of time
Where moments come and go
And disappear into the ocean.
Of all that was created
Where some keep afloat
And others inevitably sink.
I look at all the waves
Relentlessly moving and breaking
Every moment that was part of me.
Behind the water I see faces
Of the past and the present
Having an endless conversation.
I listen to their voices
Familiar whispers
Never too far away.
In my hands I hold two pages
One crumpled and one brand new
Two things that I must do.
First I unwrite a chapter
About a long but past love
Erasing everything on the crumpled paper.
Word after word after word
Retracing all past feelings
While I leave them all behind.
When I’m done I look at the ocean
And while hearing the ruthless waves
I start filling the blank page.
With incomplete sentences
For it is just the beginning
Of a love too soon to tell.
Still I continue to write
As to capture every moment
That reminds me of you.

Surrounded by clouds
Made from every thought
About these moments in life
Where you realize
That you’re standing here
In this very place
Contemplating
Should I continue?
Or go the other way?
Should I try harder?
Or just don’t try?
What exactly is it that I’m trying for?
Questions but no answers
You keep thinking
Because you always think
This time about four simple letters
But its meaning far more complicated
They say love is an action
Love is a choice
And you did that for someone
Not realizing
That those four letters
Have taken a lot from you
And now you’re here
In this very moment
Just you
Only you
And that’s okay
You’re okay
Dear me

What is hope without a wish?
About catching falling stars
Raining down from the night sky
Keeping them forever in glass jars.
What is love without a touch?
Like a blanket on bare skin
Covering us softly and gently
So we could be safe and warm from within.
What is happiness without a memory?
Captured forever in a photograph
Then collected in a little box
To revisit anytime with a laugh.
What is life without a vision?
To close our eyes and dream
All the paths that we could take
While sailing on a gentle stream.

It’s easy to feel lonely
When the bed is cold
And the sounds are silent
It’s easy to feel sad
When you turn off the light
And the darkness surrounds you
It’s easy to feel cold
When there is no one
To keep you safe and warm
It’s easy to feel every bad thing
When there is only you
And you wish it were different
Still if you close your eyes
And could see that one person
Wouldn’t that be easier?

I wish you would understand me
You say you do
but you don’t
I wish I could say no to you
You say I can
but I can’t
I wish you would just let me be
You say you will
but you won’t
I wish I wasn’t so lonely
But why am I
when I’m with you?

There's this road I'm walking on
Of which end I cannot see
My sense of direction all gone
Map show me the way! I plea
But the words are met with defeat
Should I continue on my own?
For it's just an empty sheet
Am I doomed to walk alone?
What to do when there's no ink?
Or is it because I can't see?
I feel like I'm on a brink
Of losing myself in misery
I stumble around all lost
Day after day after day
My fingers are firmly crossed
For this nightmare to go away
But I've come to the realization
That nightmares are just dreams
For I am my own narration
It may not be what it seems
So even if my eyes are blind
Don't give up is what I say
Just leave these doubts behind
Eventually I will find my way.

Our hearts are made from puzzle pieces
Intricately complex, but incomplete
Full with gaps, stains and creases
Changing with every heartbeat.
We're all looking for real connections
Something fitting instead of patches
And endure a lot of rejections
To find the best possible matches.
This puzzle is hard to complete
At times impossible to cope
Not wanting to admit defeat
We continue, because of hope.
Hence I too shall keep on going
Like everyone else day by day
Constantly failing, but also growing
Collecting my heart along the way.

My mind is like a recorder
One that keeps replaying
Every bad thought in order
Hope and optimism decaying.
My mind is like a giant maze
One with many turns and twists
Getting lost happens always
Does the way out really exists?
My mind is like a broken vinyl
One with scratches everywhere
Every damage seems so final
It looks impossible to repair.
My mind is like an eraser
One that makes me forget
Turning me into a disgracer
What's left is only regret.

I am but a small flower,
Waiting to be noticed and seen,
Longing and yearning by the hour,
Like everyone else in this place of green.
I am but a Forget-Me-Not,
Please give me lots of love and affection,
Because that is what I require a lot,
For I cannot take rejection and neglection.
I am but a Bleeding Heart,
Care for me and I will bloom only for you,
But if you have enough of me and depart,
I shall wilt and become one with the morning dew.

I am greeted by morning singing.
Of birds too soon. My head is spinning.
Through the window the cold wind is visiting.
I shiver, wishing that the night wasn't so limiting.
For I wish to return to my peaceful dreams.
A different world, where nothing is what is seems.
But alas duty has called upon me!
But first I should try to wake up properly...
