There she was, in an irish pub, sipping
beers with soft tastes and smooth lips.
Our tables, further, I remember dipping
my nacho, drenched with cheese, in salsa.

I memorised everything, so I'll never forget
what she did, what I did, what broke me;

'Third time's the charm.'
I keep walking on the pathway that is life
dreaming of every girl that gives a simple sign.
I know I cannot have her, yet I want her to be mine
Even though we've never even met each other.

The connection, only I seem to notice it
And every evening on my bed I sit
crying like a little girl that lost her mother
And I try so hard not to bother.

It makes no sense, but there she is
on the other end of the hallway this
happens without thinking, just staring.

She turns around, her eyes, so godlike and divine
in a glimpse my thoughts and Orpheus' align.
I wish I could make you my wife.


And now I'm sure I never will.
broke me like you did

Life is merely and not more than just a test,
every moment passing, a movement of this finger,
a judging sense has taken part and will not rest.
The turning doesn't hesitate, and oblivious linger,
neither do you wait for what the puffy whiteness
has to say, never experiencing with such lightness,
never do you happen to have time spared, sad,
cutting hours, like cutting carrots on a cutting pad.

Overflown with dodgy flower petals, bursting all around
and floating somewhere high above the ground, tall
as the emperor with his gowns and words profound.
separated from the sky and earth, in between, I call
your name and yell and see, I scream, no sound escapes
like gladiators fighting, whilst this emperor eats grapes,
Having to belong somewhere, to prove or show and hone,
it is just a test, regretting that he kicked the missing stone.

It fled and now it disappeard in moving gooey rings,
its fledding with a flash, though harmless, drenched, it clings
on what the surface was but now is drowning, sinking.
What on earth was told, what were you thinking,
believing things as love and hope. I do respect the way
you live and carelessly enjoy the lusts of life I say
are a toy for a kid who doesn't like to play.

His mother is ill, his life infected by the strings that once
connected, family, torn apart, like gowns and words,
his father lost at start, events, that cut the frayed cords.
He had to form, with love and comfort, an alliance,
but merged with loss and despair, care was never his
worry, hurry to the gutter, saved the stone, and bliss
was brought upon that kid, the stone was just a rock,
and all he had and ever would, a test in life to mock

his being.

I vaguely remember being mysterious,
a stranger making interest rise and giggles
manifest, the pointing and the laughing and
the cravings for attention were only temporary

now I am this creepy stranger, hated for his
actions, or his not actions, because I am weird
and feel with intensity, because I think things
through when it isn't needed and don't when it is.

It is irreverseable, like youth, like an accident,
like rage and explosions of anger, bursts of tears
and opinions of peers, moving on, looking for
someone like me instead of someone like you

people like me, people don't, people think I'm funny
people don't, people have their judging ways of saying
you crossed a line and can't go back
too bad
failure
some predict and some follow
some decide and some are hollow
most of them, hollow
will there be enough of me left to carry on
Lets let future decide this one, cause mine always
end the same, regret and shame.
Only people who have experienced this will understand
left of me

Love can not be analyzed, uncontrollable
desires to do so, instead of the right needs.
My disabled subconsience fails and feeds
when he reads or tries to. The top was

reached and I did nothing, waiting for
the fall, this is how I reached the bottom,
now I'm careless of it all.
I wish I was, really.

I've never received a drunken text.
I keep on hopping, this one to the next,
I see them every day, searching each
other, kissing, loving, they reach

out and hold arms and hands, I can
not contain my stare, a jealous man
does the wrong things. Someone please,
decently put my many needs at ease,

at least my inner vain can feast on less
fortunate girls, unequal to my being,
too good, but they will never be seeing
that, if I don't hurt them, bound to make a mess.

It has to end, it can't go one for ever,
I'll be waiting for that day, whenever.
I guess she would be my first actual serious 'crush'
I know I am not the only one who thinks like that
I predict she'll be happy, that's what matters to me.

Rejected, if not misunderstood,
these girls do me no good,
in groups in pairs, no one cares,
they're pretty, that's enough.

Relatively speaking, the floors
are squeaking in this house of
lies. She stands so close to me,
she's looking, I cannot respond

She seemed not very fond of
who I was and what I said, but
signals are mixed and misinterpreted

by both, or not, it is the fact not knowing
that ruins this situation, overshadowing.

Getting up after
is worse than the fall
people are staring,
tomorrow they'll call
me loser or failure,
no, not out loud,
but I see them thinking,
afraid of the crowd,
this guy has fallen,
why sure I am glad
that it wasn't me
bruising my ankle or
wounding my knee.
