Coming up for air
Mette Kirkegaard Apr 2017
I think, I might have been alone for too long, you know?
I don't know if that's even a thing, that can happen..
But if it isn't, that's still how I feel.
It's like my mind is an ocean.. And sometimes my thoughts drag me down so deep, too deep for anyone to follow.
I get that some people would rather stay in the shallow waters, but I have learned to love how the water breaks over me and takes me to a deeper meaning and understanding of things, that not many people can get too.  
But then again, drowing is mostly something you do alone..

Maybe It's For The Better
Mette Kirkegaard Nov 2015
One time is not enough
A few hours was all I got
You didn't know how long I'd been waiting
For three years this feeling had been in making
And I had you for just a fraction
But I guess funny girls make a good distraction
Now you're moving on...

I See You In Everything
Mette Kirkegaard Oct 2015
Can I pluck you from the stars for tonight?
I just need to hear your voice one last time
All the spaces in my mind are getting too tight
And I need you to tell me where to land

Can we speak like we used to?
Just the two of us
I just need to hear you laugh once more
And that is even if I'm the joke
- (Again)

My body is sore from violent crying
People keep asking if you are okay
I wish for once, I could be lying
Still don't quite know what to say

I know wishing you back will never work
But i don't believe it was your time to go
I know there's no age for dying
But you were only trying to grow

Please just wait for me on the other side, darling
I hope the stars makes for a pleasant rest
I will take care of your mama for you
I promise you I will do my best

Only the good, die young
Isn't that what they say?
I still can't believe it, darling
But I will miss you everyday

Pillow Wishes
Mette Kirkegaard May 2015
I fell in love, before you said anything of substance
I felt everything I stand for, slip away from me
You aren´t perfect, not even remotely close
But you made me want to give you a chance

My trouble-impulses are weakend by your presence
and somehow my mind flutter lay silent
Background music is playing around you
and your face, my eyes never find tiring

But still I wish,
Just for once
You would look at me
Like I look at you

- Because only then, you´d know
I can see the whole universe, from right here.
And I wish you could too

The Fire in the Forest
Mette Kirkegaard Feb 2015
I'm not sure where she got her magic.
But I'm pretty sure the forest gave it to her.
The endless hours she spend out there
Not because she had to, but simply for her own
enjoyment. She loved it there.

Big, natural, open and full of adventure.
She never knew if today was the day she got lost
and had to live with the wildlife to the end  of
her days.
Or if she would find the courage to write down
some of the beautiful poetry
the trees kept whispering to her, like small
sweet nothings in the warm summer evenings.

Being there gave her some kind of peace of mind
To read, write, sing, scream or pray, any way she
chose to.

Her color was red. Not the ****** kind of red, but more like the last straw of red on the evening sky before the water
swallowed up the sun, red.
It burned like a fire within her, that kind of flame
that, if you're lucky, never grows old and dies.

A big open space and the promise of forever was all
she needed. A writer with potential, who was too
shy to admit it to herself.
And not just any writer. A writer with a story to tell, which in my opinion was always the best kind.
Young and admirable country with the open-minded soul that is given exclusively, to adolescent minds in process of success.

I Miss You Calling Me Home
Mette Kirkegaard Feb 2015
When happy days are spreading thin
And the world starts to darken again  
A mess of clouds come raging in  
And I don't know where to begin
I come to think of you

I dig deep into my memories
And I find one of the warmest ones
Maybe one from those long summer nights
Or that one winter walk in the storm
I hope you remember me too

Remembering fires a soul soothing light
A little bit of warmth to survive this life
It gets too lonesome to walk alone
Sometimes
And I'm not good at it either  
That is why I prefer the walks with you  

*And I miss you calling me home

Blood Ties (You Down)
Mette Kirkegaard Nov 2014
Don't talk to my friends!
Okay.
Don't be rude to my friends!
Okay.
Don't just go to your room!
Okay.
Why are you always here?
I don't know.
Be less negative!
Okay.
Why are you acting happy?
I don't know.
Why don't you have any friends?
I don't know.
Why do you always have people over?
Sorry.
You never listen to me!
Sorry.
You take everything too personal!
I know.
Do something for yourself!
Okay.
Why do you always leave me?
I'm sorry.
I needed your help, but you weren't here!
I'm sorry
I can't believe I have such a great friend in you!
Thank you.
You are the just some blood relation.
I know.
Worst most selfish sister, anyone could ever have.
**I'm sorry.

Today's 10 word Poem
Mette Kirkegaard Aug 2014
I Just
Zoomed The **** Out
And Things
Got Simple
#today
Mette Kirkegaard Jun 2014
Maybe tomorrow we can talk
But for tonight, just leave me alone
Let me just go for that walk
Right now I need to be on my own

I know things have been hard for us
Both for me and for you
And I know, tomorrow will come
And you will tell me the truth

We used to spend hours here
Breathing side by side
And now the only thing I want
Is to get you out of my sight

Is this what they warned me about
All those years ago
How someone you could have loved
Sometimes find somebody else to hold

I don't think forgiveness is in the cards
So I am leaving this scar open
And I hope that when I tell you
You will remember, my heart is broken

Tonight while you're out with your friends
I will silently be packing my things
Living before the morning comes

- Because, *I refuse to be one of your regrets

Loving You Makes Sense
Mette Kirkegaard Jun 2014
You are the most beautiful piece of breathing art

I have ever encountered

And before I met you, something not quite touchable

Was in a way always missing

The way you unexpectedly came crashing into my life

Barefoot and eyes wide open

Holding something stronger than love in your little hands

Kind of made me believe in fairytales again

And baby, just like that

- Loving you made sense

Baby, You and I
Mette Kirkegaard Apr 2014
Will you wrap your arms around me
Silently press your body towards my back
Clutching my chest to keep it from exploding
Give me the strength I, myself, lack

Lay your head on the back of my neck
Whisper "It's gonna be okay" into my ear
Pull me in a little bit tighter, now
Let me feel you're still here

Help me weather the coming storm
Let me rest in these arms for a while
Before the thunder comes rushing in
And my tears, like the tide, will rise

The notion shows, as rain on my skin
As uncontrollable screaming
As a black out within
A pain with no meaning

I promise it will soon be over baby
I just need a little time
Getting my self together again
You promised never to leave me

You said "Baby, you and I"
Mette Kirkegaard Apr 2014
I hang on to this old, broken window sill
Concious of hanging on, just a little bit too tight
With the feeling it only will leave my hands bleeding?
Yet I can't let go, solely out of fright
Have people once again lied, or will I see a light?

Maybe I should have told you off
Better sooner than later - or so they say
I just feel like finally I've had enough
I don't want to go on like this

- Living like a regretful hater

Life should be beautiful, I've been told
The most precious thing to have
But I just don't feel like hanging on
It's no more complicated than that

I have fought with a couragous heart
For what feels like so many centuries now
Never giving it as much as a second thought
Just raging on and waiting for it to play out.

Lately I have had a reason to believe
This problem will never be desolved
You don't have the slightest interest in me
Or what I have to live with

I could have screamed as much as I cried
But I don't want to be of any bother
Yet it would only take one good look at my face
And you would know what I never told you

Kicking and hitting, biting and scratching
Is a fate I would much rather like
Because one thing I will never find by your side
Is a helpful hand and a sound advice
For the journey to find peace of mind.

The Art of Watching Stars
Mette Kirkegaard Mar 2014
Let us run into the forest
Let us just get lost for a while
Let us play with the mind of a poet
So pure, adventurous and wild

Let us watch the flowers grow
As they twirl around the trees
Let us bathe in the warm sunlight
And just listen to the sweet humming of the bees

Let me take you away, baby
To a very secret place
I promise it won't last forever
I would just like to use a day

- To show you something better

Let us fall into the flowerbed
In the bright open meadow
Right besides where the stream floats

A place;
Where I have seen people come to fall in love
And then watched new lovers leave
It is an amazing sight, like you won't even believe

I will look after you here
When the sky starts to darken
And the evening wind starts to flare
Later I will show you a love of mine

Which ignited my soul and left some scars
Only because all this beauty, usually happens
In the learning process of;

*The art of watching stars

— The End —
