This collar
around my neck,
by which you drag me,
has grown ever heavier.

Yet still I choose
to wear it for you.
i wish
i were as brave as the rain
because
they are not afraid to
fall

when there is no one there to catch them...




they are the strongest, bravest and
saddest things I've known :(

PS:
-the thought "the rain are not afraid to fall" were not from me . :)
The gap between her teeth
i bet you'll think it's lovely
and in cold nights, after midnight
she doesn't even feel lonely
I hope you find the time
and the courage to tell yourself
that you don't have to avoid certain feelings
and leave your dusty happiness on a shelf
But i wasn't capable
of breaking the bones of your ribcage
but i hope she can do this
squeeze your heart until there is no quiet rage

Life is all about the right time
and you always lose the right moment
then you go to the bottom of your mind
looking for reasons why you think you're broken
But you can not offer salvation
to someone who is already choking
with his own ideals of life
and misplaced lies
Sweet words that will remain unspoken

The brown color of her eyes
i bet you'll find beauty in the ordinary
because i think i scared you
when i tried to show you the extraordinary
I hope you can move those mountains
the ones you didn't even touch for me
until there, your fate will be resting
at the bottom of the sea
I'm sorry i wasn't capable
to change your mind about jazz and love
all this time the universe was screaming
"His loyalty was not to me, but to the stars above"
It's time to let you go
How many more days will blood be the solace to your ever beating heart!
How many more days will those veins explode in order to comfort you from your harm!
How many more days will pain be the way that you keep your self safe-
Or I guess just killing yourself to make all those memories go away...

I don't know who you are and I don't know what happened to you
But giving up never gave me any hope nor any truth,
And I regret all the days that I tried to use my pain
To make everything seem like it was okay!
Because nothing could ever give me quite the escape!
Nothing seems to ever quite help my life change!
No amount of drugs or blood or lust or shame
Could change my sad desolate life of black stains...

And I remember wanting to die-
It wasn't just once-

I remember thinking that if I had the courage I might just put an end to it once and for all,
For all to see and for all to awe!
Trust me, I know what it feels like to fall
And to fall from a place of security to listening to echoing halls.
But I found some hope behind my black walls.

And that's a love that for some reason brings more peace than anything I've ever seen!
More than anything that I could ever dream.
And that's the love of a God that will always be holding you close to him in your sleep.
And I can only imagine how many people have given you reason to hate him too,
But I can promise you that he cares more than anyone cares about you!
And that there is nothing that you could ever do
To get him to stop falling in love with you.
Some stupid questions
always haunt me,
and all the lessons
they have taught me!

How distant is the distance?
How distant is distance?
Why are distances so distant?
How close is the closeness?
How close is close?
Why is closeness so close?

Stupid questions haunt

How close is distant?
How distant is close?
Why is this closeness so distant?
Why is this distance so close?

Lessons they taught

What is distant is what is close.
What is close is what is distant.

Some stupid lessons
I have taught
myself; more stupid questions
rise to haunt
