eileen
accidental cuts and burns
are healing

sitting on the edge
jump
quickly then hospitalized

I love it
when you ask me if I'm okay

you lie and tell me
I'll listen to every word you have to say

even if my knees bleed
it's sweet and refreshing

this summer
I'll melt away
forget about
everything

I don't mind

sitting on the edge
looking into the abyss

He left

Because when he looks in my eyes he sees sheer excitement peaking through dark shades of sorrow

Because when he listens to my voice he hears thunder

Because when he looks at my body he is struck by the radiating strength that forces tears out of his eyes
My smile sends paralyzing pulses down his spine

He left

Because he gets dizzy when his pupils are obliged to follow my hand gestures
When I unfold my shoulders, raise my chin and say „I love you“

He left

Because it’s too much ...
Because it‘s too strong ...
Because I’m too strong ...

The 'is'
and the 'is not'

Wake up
        hug a dog
        have a
        good day.      

          Be the
         person
        your dog
          thinks
         you are.
