German you'll find me in independent coffee shops with a book in hand and a half full cup of caramel frappuccino
I’ve seen the moon disappear behind the far horizon. I’ve seen stones crumble on concrete. I’ve seen my hands tremble beneath soft touch. I’ve seen pouring rain of storms and the shadows burn And my tears dripping to the carpet in waterfalls and droplets. I am an unstable dust storm, a volcano ready to explode and the magma might burn everything that I loved, leaving nothing good behind. I am an unstable dust storm, I can’t conquer this town alone. I need you to drown my emotions and lingering feelings even if they end up in a huge pool of nothing but black spots

dust storm
I opened every curtain and every window and the doors were slammed open as if it helped me catch a scent of you somehow, as if it helped me stop you in your tracks. my heart had something tugging on it, it almost bursted from racing so badly and my eyes were blocked from all the aching or was it just the dreaming or the running? I wasn’t devastated about you being gone and I still missed you – just in a different way.

recently
it's 4 a.m. the sight is getting clearer and i know the sun is going to shine on my window sill and the beams will hit my bed on the spot where you used to lie and i wish you were like the sun the one i'll wake up to in the morning but you're gone and the sun has just taken your place and it's supposed to be warm on that spot you know but whenever i touch it it feels incredibly cold

i wish you were like the sun
I'm walking down a street and it's the same old street all over again I'm crossing a road and it's the same old road all over again I want to get away Not because I don't like it here Not because I'm bored In fact, I am hungry for more I want to explore Not because I don't read Not because I've never travelled before It's simple, I'm hungry for more One day I will live in New York City with large windows and a beautiful view One day I will see all the possibilities and I won't waste time and grab every chance One day I will be able to see the sun rise and set right before my eyes every single day One day I will place plants all over the place and learn to love the noisy traffic and admire the cold rain One day I will create my own little world in that large city surrounded by many other people with their own little worlds One day I will live in New York City and my world will collide with others' One day I will walk down a new street, cross a new road and bump into you One day we'll start talking and we'll take a walk until it's five in the morning One day, maybe, eventually I'll be falling for you One day, in New York City, surrounded by so many other little worlds, you might fall for me, too

you were unstoppable you were addicted not addicted to me but addicted to lying to me you lied about your gender, your story, your background, and most importantly you lied about your feelings i woke up one day just to realize how every single word you have ever said was never true you didn't mean what you said and i knew it i felt it but you kept denying it you kept saying you were telling the truth do you even know what the truth is? i doubt that i doubt that you are unhappy i doubt that you are lost i doubt that you are lonely i doubt that you are insecure **now i understand i was just a game that you kept winning** and now i am the game you will always lose

the biggest liar
doesn't it hurt to see how nobody cares when you're gone doesn't it hurt to be on your own when things go wrong doesn't it hurt to feel like everyone could be just perfectly fine without you doesn't it hurt how nobody ever asks why when you're feeling blue doesn't it hurt to realize that everyone is thinking of their future without you being part of it doesn't it hurt to feel alone even when you're with friends doesn't it hurt to feel invisible and unwanted in a crowd with so many people

loner
Say it before you run out of time. Say it, speak it out line after line. Say it before it's too late, Waiting is just the biggest mistake. What are you waiting for? Until the waves crash the shore? Why are you saving it? For when? Why are you afraid of this? And then? Words are here for minds to form and mouths to say, the courage to tell them is long gone, on the tip of your tongue they stay. You're afraid it might be annoying to remind this person this one thing every time, over and over again It might make you look ridiculous, showing a person that you actually care Have you ever thought about the fact that every chance you let slip away could be the very last chance to make things alright?

Say It
With my head in my hands, sitting next to tired friends, bending over a thousand books, giving each other annoyed looks, I hide my eyes from the teacher and fall asleep. There's not one thing she says that doesn't make me want to rest, stifling warm air, none of this gets me to care, I hide myself from the teacher and fall asleep. The more I stare at the clock, the more the hands tend to stop, as whole centuries go by, I slowly feel the urge to cry, my head is on the table and I fall asleep. Wake up, I tell myself. She'll punish you! I said. Wake up, it's almost over. Wake up, the end comes closer. Wake up, you'll grab your coat, wake up, we're going home.

wake up
tears are rolling down his face cold and salty at that place like the pouring rain running down the windowpane he's got to be quiet since it's night and he can't riot the silence is dangerous the voice in his head's venomous he doesn't scream or shout showing his pain is not allowed why can't i be there to show him how much i care want to hold him tight support him in this fight want to fix him and make it alright why can't i be there i wasn't aware let's take away that blade and give first aid let's wipe away the blood and kiss his burning scars take him to places and let him see the beauty of the stars he's my best friend want him to ascend he's suffering and crying i know well and he keeps denying harming his beautiful skin holding the blade between his fingers, so thin at day he smiles while his heart is frowning at night he feels like drowning why am i not there? those nights are evil, those nights are long, i am scared to say something that might be totally wrong but those nights he calls me, those nights he talks, those nights i listen, i forget about clocks.
