My girlfriend called me up last night
from the other side of the bed
I told her she was being ridiculous
when she could just text instead

It's twelve in the morning,
these thoughts don't have enough space
It screams for a peaceful life
yet craves for endless ideas
I'm not crazy, I am just aware
That people will leave
when they are tired of you
Believe me,
they can and they will.
you silence the thundering drums
the constant noise
sensations of what could be
the voices stop talking
when my eyes wander over your body
epiphanies don’t come often
but when they do

my fingers tingle
i can’t help it
longing for the touch of something
something real
someone real
are you really real
or should i pinch my arm

when this is all over
and the curtains fall
i hope i’ll stand next to you
receive applause
bow for the audience
bid adieu
and leave, with you by my side
Just you

It’s just you who keeps me awake at night

Kisses my neck, and tells me to sleep tight

Scares away the monsters from my head

Just you

It’s just you who tells me it will be all right

Keeps all the bad memories out of sight

Awakens feelings, which were dead

Just you

It’s just you who makes sure that I’m fit for fight

Wakes me from the dreams, where I fall from a great height

But I was scared, so I fled

Although this is just poetry

A silly fantasy

I’ll wait till dawn

For who?

Just you

Go here for accompanying tune
I was always quick to fall in love

With ****** knees, I would move on to the next, to the next, to the next

“This too shall pass” they told me as a crimson flood left me hollow

Wounds heal, scars fade, and the memories are long gone

But the spirits of those naked nights

Echo in the empty rooms of my mind



I was always quick to overreact

“This too shall pass” I told myself as the water filled my lungs

The burning sensation of the lifegiving salty substance

Almost too pure to exist in a world blemished by ugliness

But still the echoes stayed



I was always quick to fall in love

But for once, I didn’t get up
As soon as the words passed my lips, I tried to pull them back with regret

Those beautiful, unforgiving eyes, staring into the windows of my soul

They will be my demise, I already know, right now it’s just for show

But what can a fool do, when a fool has fallen in love?

Hope for the best, take the step, fall over, try again?

Listen to the words of his loved ones?

“It wont work out, it never does”

“Forget her and move on”

“Do you love her?”

Do I love her?

May be

Just

They say
I'm so passionate
with my words,
truth is
poetry is just something
that keeps me
alive.
