Kafka Joint
A midnight omelette
Could be a heaven on earth,
Although some eggs might beg to differ.

I couldn't handle much, I've let go love
I'm giving up, Your smile still haunts me
Place was so empty
You were a great half of me
Now I'm moving on slowly
I gave it my all, now out of the couch I crawl
Sorry for is both, now time to let each other go
Life after life
Dim light after dim light
Miss the feeling of being alright
Darling I've been giving up
I'll be fine, I'll be safe
Have to go our separate way
Friday, payday
No mall trips or fastfood dates
Movies, shows, gameplays gone
I'm giving up and ugly cry till dawn
But these tears that drip
Plant a new me to grow
Drank myself sick
Now it's time to heal and go
Screamed with music loud, tried to let go now. Still haunted by a memory when I drive through the town. That's the street we met and the street we walked for cookies and a drink. Now I'm giving up for me
I walk only towards you
Wait only for your breath
Listen only for your sigh
Feel my heart beat for you.

When we close our eyes
The darkness is complete
That's where we'll find each other.
And like a spider,
he wove a web.

And like a fly,
she fell into it.

Poetic T
An avalanche of empathy
             dislodged
covering me in suffocating
                                realisation.

That I wasn't the mountain,
       more the snow.
               Soft and delicate,
   sentiment never compacted enough.

Everyone saw it in the sky.
It came in a rush and then flew by.
It didn't come alone; It came with the Wind and the Rain.
Everyone saw it in the sky.
It left as fast as it arrived.
In its wake nothing stood where it passed by.

I'm tired.
I'm tired of running towards
the same closed door every time.
You closed it
and I am unable to open it.
I tried
and it hurt.

I'm disheartened.
I'm disheartened from crashing against
the same huge wall every time.
You built it
and I am unable to climb it.
I tried
and it stung.

I'm sick.
I'm sick of racing after
the same fast car every time.
You drive it
and I am unable to catch up.
I tried
and it pained.

I'm sick and tired of trying,
of hurting
of the sting
of pain.
I'm sick and tired,
but I won't give up.

'Cause maybe one day
someone will open their door for me,
someone will help me climb their wall,
someone will stop and wait for me.
I won't give up.
Someone will.
Someday.

It's the chaos that makes the orderly
And this I tell you solemnly
It's the crooked man that draws the straightest
The crazy eyes that make the greatest.
Beauty is from ugly spawned
The frog prince in a wild pond
The genius with his untamed hair
Wright Brothers with their crazy dare
An artist with a broken mind
Led out of chaos by this kind

BAYA
Life’s been unexpectedly kind
Unsure and shy
I’ve rolled my lips to cry
Hindering my crisp sigh
From escaping my lips
And tearing at the seal
