You have a large part of my soul
One I don't doubt is larger than my own
No, you may perhaps have me whole
But in your hands lay the spirits of fall
That have held me through countless nights
Where I lay in lies that had gotten me there
But those nights, I see what is fair:
In the dark, you juxtapose yourself right.
You keep me sane, in touch, intact
And in my darkest times with no others alight
You see a love, a light, a-last
That they scurry to find another alike.
If you're my secret, mine to keep
My dear, you hold such power over me!
Yet give some too, almost a leap
Of faith, of fear, something to rend me free.
If they say you do me such harm
Enthralling, encapsulating harm
They will come to me in alarm
Because your arms are what fell right to me.

When it’s cold and the siren sounds
The waves refract a cry for help
What will it sound like if it comes
From the ignorant mouth of a needful child?
If all it knows is oppression
Will it know to stay silent?
Or will it learn it’s lesson
At the feet of a tyrant?
If the words are what scares him
The inability to share the language
Shouldn’t he welcome it?
Embrace it and in it lavish?
A mi padre siempre le pareció natural
Lo de compartir la lengua, hablar
I si no fos per ells, jo també parlaria
La lengua que no me sale sin más?
I can’t deny the words hold power
But what’s ominous, what towers
Is not knowing what, not knowing whom
Not understanding, having to assume.

You found me at a bad time
Around a decade from today
Gulping in the greenery
You asked about my ways
Our rivalry emerged from ice
Broken by heated encounters
That thrived off of deprivation of thought
That was lost when your purity faltered
Aside, we weren't the only ones
Caught up in illicit lust
But once brought out of the house
Daylight overshadowed the cup
By then, I'd learnt of your betrayal
Is it just to say so, or vile?
I know I'm also to blame
And though I hid it, it hurt for a while
We just can't seem to let go.
Hidden, but still something worth living
From foreign farewells to confessions
It was better, how you had me feeling
The dusk turned to dawn in the sky
The phrase to an oral, heart-felt letter
The room to a house, a drive, a loon
The twice-a-season to forever.

The urge to write captured within her fingers
Laced around and around, twisting her limits
To a point in which the words linger
But only just so, she cannot finish!
She thinks of the love she has formed, not hers
But somehow entrancing her own heart along
And wishes to speak, although she mustn't
So here she is, writing this poem.

We travel, only to run away
From a house, not a home, that stayed
We run, only to find a way
To meet our fate as far from today
But if I can, I'll procure to use
Every leave-and-stay that sees me through
All the while, only hide what I do
Because it will bring me back to you

14 years I remained breathless
Stuck in this void of a state
Not a physical one, for the one I'm in now I love
But a cage that lost as age gained
This led to spiraling, trying to leave
With time I saw a decade I'd need
So I made my own cage that gained with age
One locked from the inside, sealing my fate
In here you'd find scraps
Tron from books that belong to the past
But only I can see what this truly means
Worlds built on pillars of arranged scriptures
Now you ask me to share
The place I used to escape from you
This wouldn't exist without your contribution
But how would that be fair
Kingdoms would still reign without an heir
To take over the land
And fill the crypt I'd be caged in

Did you forget the eyes
You haven't drained for 20 years?
The ones that now look out
To a cascade of old tears
That have spent wartimes
Behind closed curtains
Searching for a deity
In the bane of your existence
To see the worth in patience,
Waiting and anticipating
All to learn you're a castaway
As I finish my unravelling.

Don't you tell me I can't let go
When all that's keeping me together
Is the one thing you'll never truly know
Having set the bar so low
How did you expect me to rise up
If it's you holding me from below
When it's night, when track of time is lost
And the Brussels skyline looks at me from above
I'm on my own

And now 10 years old feels kind of lonely
Cause I'm still a kid but I'm stuck at home
Thinking of years the didn't go down
Nostalgia's different now
I'm 12 years old and school's gone to ****
It's not at all how I imagined it
To be cause all I saw was happy
But it's different now
I'm older now, but is it still okay
If I rather stay in my room all day
I'm missing all years I lost
Nostalgia's different now

I lost morning runs around the living room
The TV blasting what I used to watch
I lost riding to school with my grandpa
Swimming with floaties, unable to touch
I lost my earliest years in Brussels
How autumn leaves wrapped me up
I lost the making of toy shops on the floor
And the way I cried when I had to clean them up
I lost stacking paints in a closet
The racket we’d make outside of class
I lost the newspaper I made at eight
It’s lost, just like the years that have passed
I lost hundreds of skipped lunches
I’ll be ****** but I miss them
I lost realising people weren’t my thing
And that I’m better off without them
I lost just now what helped me out
It dug me out of my grave
But you swooped in and pulled it away
After all I had and all I gave
So please don’t take this, it’s all I have left
Anything, anything but this
It’s the only thing I can cling onto anymore
Anything but this
