What if I just died right here. What if I became one with nature, And disappeared behind the glass. You couldn’t look at me Then. What if I slept In this wretched bed And never woke up. And I didn’t do anything The night before, I didn’t swallow more pills Than I could count, I didn’t cut my wrists And bleed through the sheets, I didn’t suffocate Under your guilt, I didn’t taste The cement Below that tall building. I didn’t. I didn’t eat poison. I just ate your words. They’re never Kind enough To let me die. Right Here. In this wretched bed.

I cant sleep
A volte vorrei provare dolore. Vorrei sbucciarmi le ginocchia, Correre e Scappare, I polmoni in fiamme. Vorrei ferirmi le mani, Arrampicarmi Tra rami con le spine, Le braccia indolenzite E le gambe tremanti. Vorrei un taglio sul labbro, Un occhio nero E un dente scheggiato. Voglio i rimasugli Di un litigio, Di una battaglia, Di una guerra, Un confronto letale. Voglio i segni, I tagli, I lividi, I graffi. Voglio i graffi. Sanguino E le bende sono pulite. Sanguino E non fa male. Sanguino E non lo noti. Sanguino E non è rosso, È nero. Buio pesto. ** gli occhi serrati. ** le mani strette in pugni. ** la bocca spalancata E ** perso le parole. Me le hai rubate. Mi hai rubato anche il dolore. A volte vorrei provare dolore.

Senza titolo
Death has been Chasing me. As a child, I used to hide In my mother’s Gritted teeth And shield From my father’s Bleeding screams. Death was there, Watching me, Studying me. I wondered If she would Take me, Keep me safe, But she just… She just stood there. My feet Took me farther, I was taller, Wiser and Somehow Younger. I knew less, My world Had changed, I had a sister now. Death came again, She held My sister’s hand, She held it So tight I thought She would break it. She didn’t. She just Broke her spirit. My sister is cursed, Death has been Chasing her. Maybe Death Wasn’t after me, Maybe she was Warning me. I decided then. I spent years Preparing, Folding my clothes, Writing letters, Choosing a luggage. If Death Wanted something, She could take My childhood, My dreams, My shadows. She could take Me. Death has been Chasing me. I cannot Escape, I can only Outrun her.

Death has been chasing me
In an instant, breaths became blows, stares turned into glances and I couldn’t reach myself as far as I could reach you.

Two souls dancing
Meet me where your thoughts die And your hopes rise, Meet me at the end of the world Or at the very beginning, It does not matter. Just meet me. Don’t make me wait, There’s not a rustle Nor a swish, In these woods everything ceases. Don’t leave me alone, Feel this quiet with me, I can’t surrender to my thoughts. Don’t let me fall, These roots are trapping me. My hands start to tremble, Words get lost in the wind And I vanish, Like Alice and the White rabbit. This time though, No Cheshire Cat can show me home.

Forgetting Me
Once I was a bird. Wind guiding me To a home I never really owned. When Earth took me, Sad I couldn’t be As home I came. Once I was fire, Burning forests, Ashes my children. Earth never came to me, Men did. I became smoke. Once I was a man, Crawling through friends Death did not care to claim. Earth did not call me, There was nothing to take But a pile of mud And a hundred broken bullets.
