We
Clindballe Apr 2014
We
We started talking.
We began hanging out.
We sometimes talked.
We took walks in the forest.
We talked more.

We started holding hands.
We talked a bit more.
We told each other secrets.
We talked even more.
We did long hugs in the rain.
We fell in love.

It went to fast, I couldn’t keep track.
We stopped falling.
What is going on?
We stopped holding hands.
What happened?
We stopped hugging.
We can’t even touch?

We stopped telling secrets.
Where did the trust go?
We spoke less.
Where are you going?
We rarely spoke.
We are not friends?
We never spoke.
*Did I do something wrong?

My grandma gave away all the old bed sheets, even the towels she spent hours sewing his name on. She even removed his glasses from the table like he had never sat in the leather-chair next to it. I didn't even realized that he had gotten a different chair before he left it to never sit back down. It sometimes feels like he was not even here but I have buried myself underneath the fabrics so that maybe he will come alive in my dreams and when I wake up from a nightmare he might somehow be beside me. Grandpa I wish that you could pick up your glasses and see the stitches you left open.

My final cliche
Clindballe Nov 2015
I never write these poems about you any more. It is not that I do not think about you. It is not that I do not wonder what could have happened. It is just that I stopped looking endlessly for you in crowds you never walked in and dreams you never occurred in. Your name, oh how it still tastes funny. Sadly it is as common as the rain and it rains a lot. Mine on the other hand never quite makes it out of any lips not even yours. I miss your hands sometimes but never the awful things that purposely found their way from your mouth to my ears so keep your ***** hands to yourself and change your name.

Navnløse køer
Clindballe Apr 2015
kaotiske køer på glat is i tågens slørende billede på landet ved siden af den røde traktor som han kørte i til den dag hvor motoren gik i stå ved de fældede træer som nu er en bænk til minde om den dag hans hjerte gav op og her vil mit hjerte opgive kærligheden til nykøbte navnløse køer på din jord som nu kun har syv røde roser og en gravsten med dit navn på

Dødfødt
Clindballe Dec 2015
Jeg er et foster
kvæles af navlestrengen
Ligger i hi til jeg fødes
Ud i en verden af elendighed
Jeg fødes
Jeg dør
et dødfødt foster
Jeg er dømt til elendighed

Art
Clindballe Jan 2016
Art
What is art when the heart is in a coffin while the rest is spread like minefields 6 feet above the pulse. What is the art in a dead heart with a weak pulse and which is drowning in its own blood. Life is art, art is heartbreaking. You are the art that burried my heart.
Written: January 4. - 2016

Dansk:
Hvad er kunst når hjertet ligger i kisten mens resten ligger spredt som minefelter fire meter over pulsen. Hvad er kunsten i et dødt hjerte med svag puls og som drukner i sit eget blod. Livet er kunst, kunst er hjerteskærende. Du er kunsten der begravede mit hjerte.

Black bed of death
Clindballe Aug 2015
I have wanted to **** myself since I was old enough to hold a kitchen knife to my throat. My mother always tells me I am negative and asks if I will be more happy if we get a cat more. How many animals must one get before happiness comes walking through the door. My happiness got beaten out of my chest when I was old enough to scream and people wonder why and how I  suddenly got so quiet.  I can't speak up for myself because I have lost my voice in the echoes of my cries for help. My mind is working for two people and that is how 'She' came to life. I got my first cat at age nine when the physical turned everything mental. 'She' increased her work to destroy my mind for good. No words hurt more than the ones spoken from the inside. The words are tattooed on the walls surrounding my brain. I got my second cat at age thirteen right as my sister fell down a black hole of depression. She wanted more than anything in the world to die and that is how I feel now. I see the failing shadow in my reflection each day but I am trying to be happy yet I still wish to die most days so I just lay in my black bed of death hoping that one day it will swallow me hole. Maybe then I will find some kind of happiness.

Time
Clindballe Dec 2015
Are we slipping apart or is it just time pulling us in different directions in its own barbaric way. With arms like snails we reach out and turn to snakes. Biting down on lips keeping silence from going anywhere. Wiggling around in silence in a so called safe place where no one leaves nor stays. We never hold on, we just slip on stones and fall of endless cliffs.

Evidence of a life
Clindballe Jun 2015
My heart starts to ache when I see you
the only evidence of your existence is the pictures we kept in frames and hearts
An impact greater than you'll ever know
Because dead people know nothing at all
I want to remember the sound of your voice and beautiful veins
But all I can think of is your silence therefore I speak to my heart and create answers on my own.

Two dying people
Clindballe Nov 2015
I thought I was dying until I looked her in the eyes. No fight, no light. The disease has won taken her soul and let it out the window like a bird. Penguins are birds too but they can't fly and she is a penguin without a floc to follow. Society left her on the ground like an antique skin-carpet with stripes like a tiger. Her eyes are rolled in mud and dirt from staring too hard at the ground avoiding eye-contact or just any contact at all. She has not been let out of her cage to be free but left to drown in a shady sea of sharks.

Black hole ( I am )
Clindballe Nov 2015
As the deep circles start to feel way too comfortable under my eyes, I think back to a time when the best sleep was after popping pills not knowing wether I would wake up or stay in the dark. Everything is getting uncomfortable when the unexpected is luring around the corner. Sing me to sleep and I won't see another day before it's the night where the dead are living. I wish this could make any sense but happiness makes me anxious and depression makes me feel nothing at all. My skin still itches after healing too many times too fast and too easily. If scars turned black and eyes could swallow I would be a black hole consuming time, effort and happiness.

SOS
Clindballe Feb 2015
SOS
Save our souls from the panic attacks that build up in our minds when we get asked
What is your name
And we are afraid to say anything in fear of saying our own names wrong like we do not know ourselves. When in fact we have criticized every inch of our restless bodies and analyzed every corner of our reckless minds only to try and find out why people do not like us. So when you ask me what my name is I will not answer unless you are going to remember it like it was your own so at least one of us will know who I am.

Silly love
Clindballe Aug 2015
Love is so silly when your kneecaps start to weaken

Making feet tremble down stair and words stumble

Random silly little smiles are frown at each other

Thoughts get infected by this lovely diase oh how

Silly when your heart starts to weaken and his doesn't

white bones in darkness
Clindballe Jun 2015
it is getting worse and oh so bad
nights get longer and insomnia
she keeps me awake like the cold
biting finger bones and blue lips

the dark circles swallow my eyes
into a back hole greeting my heart
with the music of all forsaken souls

if eyes could bleed I would be dead
look closely 'cause they speak of truth

bones shall remain as I kiss you goodbye

This short appearance of mine here on earth will be over before I will ever notice. If you only live once then what am I doing sitting here with nothing to do when in reality I can do anything I put my mind to.

Clindballe Nov 2015
I am scared of my next birthday, the day I can fulfill my life long wish. That day I can buy death in a pretty package. My hidden secret inside green paper as to symbolize hope in this hopeless place I call home but never feel at home in. I will wish myself a happy birthday like I know what it feels like to be filled with joy. I will die from the inside while everyone is watching thinking I am a survivor.

My depressed brain
Clindballe Aug 2019
Depression always sits on the edge of the bridge that I call my brain ready to throw us both into the deep water where we drown together like a twisted one-man Romeo and Juliet act. Sometimes I let my sick thoughts take control they always wanted what’s best for me like when the self destructive thoughts tried to convince me that it was seppuku and not suicide even though the only deference is the level of holiness. No one should open Pandora’s box and get to know all its secrets. I would rather die than keep on living knowing that people worried about me but my anxiety for death saved me. My biggest inner-conflict is between my depression and anxiety, one tries more eagerly than the other to take control while I walk the bridge of memories and trauma - a alternative history lesson that always begins with once upon a time and ends with a to be continued that might never continue.
Written: November 25 - 2017

Danish version:
Depressionen sidder altid på kanten af den bro, jeg kalder min hjerne, klar til at kaste os begge i det dybe vand, hvor vi drukner sammen som en forskruet form for en-mands Romeo og Julie akt. Nogle gange lader jeg mine syge tanker tage kontrollen, de har altid villet mig det bedste, som da de selvdestruktive tanker var ved at overbevise mig om at det var seppuku og ikke selvmord, selvom forskellen blot er helligdom. Ingen skulle åbne pandoraæske og kende til dens hemmeligheder, så hellere dø end leve videre med tanken om at folk bekymrede sig. Men angsten for døden reddede mig. Mit største indre-dilemma er mellem depression og angst, den ene forsøger mere ivrigt end den anden at tage kontrollen, mens jeg går over broen af minder og traumer, en alternativ historietime, som altid starter med der var engang og slutter med en fortsættelse som aldrig vides sikker

Sing me to sleep
Clindballe Jun 2015
At night when everything is dim and quiet an anxiety creeps in my skin
I do not know why but I always try to recall her voice when there is
silence
Maybe she will never leave me alone again yet I still try to remember her
We screamed together till my parents bled the words in the color of pure
madness
They could not hear her so they only had me to blame for the explosions
They locked me up at night while she tore me down till the last brick was
gone
Sleeping does not happen at night when she is muted and I am alone
It only happens when I feel protected with the sound of a voice from
another

Goodnight
Clindballe Jul 2015
Many sweet dreams my dear
You might wake up in fear
There will not be a shadow
Yet there is a dark widow
Barely standing on her feet
With no one for her to meet
So she quietly stands alone
She just hung up the phone
The ground made a quick call
And she had to make the fall

I can't do this to myself
Clindballe May 2014
I saw you today but quickly turned my head and looked the other way. It hurts to see you. I want to run over to you and give a big hug and never let go. I want you and I want you to stay with me. When I look at you all the memories and the feelings come back and I'm afraid I might fall for you again. Not because I can't but because I won't. I know you will catch me but eventually you will drop me like I am nothing. You made me feel like I was everything and you made me feel like I was nothing.
