An introduction.
Dominique Aug 2014
I heard that if you do something everyday,
You'll become good at it.
Therefore, I could play my guitar once a day
Or I could paint trees at 3am during a month
And later become really good at it.
So I'll write something here everyday,
Until, someday, this notebook (and my mind)
Will be filled with beautiful things
Instead of messy thoughts
(although, sometimes, those can be beautiful too).
I'm starting a (new) notebook with thoughts and short poems and I wrote this as an introduction.

self.
Dominique Aug 2014
I want to know myself.
I touch every inch of my body
I touch every inch of my soul
All the dusty places that were once forgotten
There are some open wounds
They hurt, so I try not to press them
But sometimes I can't help it

Feelings I don't know or understand
Thoughts I'd rather forget

I am made of those little things
I am what I feel
I am what I don't know
I am what I can't understand

cold.
Dominique Jul 2014
this has gone too far
why do I keep checking if you're still breathing?

Dead... - they said

I held your hand
it was so cold
your eyes were now blank - empty
is your heart still pumping?
the tears roll down across my face

Dead. - I said to myself

When you look at me
Do you still see the person you adored?

Do you still see the person who adored you no matter what?

The person with whom you talked hours and hours until sunrise?

The person who tried to help you?


So if you do...
Please don't leave

PLEASE

I DIDN'T LEAVE

disease.
Dominique Jun 2014
you’re like a disease
deep down in my throat, you keep me from skeaping
deep inside my chest, you keep me from breathing
you’re in my lungs
you’re in my veins
you make my bones ache
you make me feel weak and sick

and,
there is no way I can deny it,


I’m dying

suicide.
Dominique Apr 2014
When I die,
She won't cry

Because for her,
Life is just a big word
She can't pronounce
Although,
They're just four letters
(2 consonants 2 vowels)
Together
A little word
Capable of
Making my bones ache

Because for her,
Life ain't a pain in the back
It ain't something
She's tired of

Infortunetly,
For me,
It is.

So when I'm gone,
Don't stay by my side
Waiting for me
To wake up

Ele não gosta de sorrir, mesmo quando está ligeiramente divertido.
Ah como eu gostaria de lhe arrancar um sorriso e fazê-lo sentir como se de facto pertencesse a este lugar.
He doesn't like smiling, even when he's slightly amused.
Oh how I'd like to pull out a smile from his face and make him feel like he really does belong here.

I loved him
I really did


But,
Now,
It feels like there's no space for me
Anymore.
I'm the one who got lost,
The one who was left behind.

I used to feel sick
When I thought about him
Or when I talked to him.
But,
Now,
I feel sick all the time,
Because I find myself
Not thinking about him.

But,
Deep down,
I still think about him
I still imagine his face
I still want him next to me

I still love him (I have to love him, I want to, I need to)

But,
Now,

There is no space for me

There is no space for *him
He will haunt me.

Notes to my(only)self:
Dominique Sep 2013
The Stop's and the Start's

Stop complaining.
Stop wanting attention.
Stop regretting.
Stop thinking about him.
Stop wanting to be perfect.
Stop saying that you're going to do it and just do it.
(...)
Start working harder.
Start wondering.
Start doing something new.

The Do not's and the Do's

Do not show your feelings.
Do not cry.
Do not eat.
Do not buy things you don't really need.
Do not give up.
Do not be ridiculous.
(...)
Do apologize when you hurted someone.
Do your best.
Do what you want.
Do feel loved (because you are).

The You are's and the Be's

You are beautiful in your own unique way.
You are fine with your weight.
You are talented.
You are nice.
You are interesting.
You are funny.
You are contradictory.
(...)
Be more mysterious and reserved.
Be optimist.
Be neutral.
Be rude if you want to.
Be kind if you're in the mood.
Be fearless.
Be ruthless.

Help (don't)
Dominique Sep 2013
I'm drowning
In my thoughts
In my feelings
In my uncertainties
In my tears
In myself

I'm drowning
In the doubts

I'm drowning
In the vastness


Why do I keep drowning myself?

Perfection and eternity
Dominique Sep 2013
I stopped in front of the mirror
And I looked at myself.
I put mascara on my eyelashes
And they grew long and dark.
I covered my face with base
And all imperfections were hidden.
I put lipstick on my lips
And then I ****** them gently.
I put the brush in the colored powder
And I passed it on my cheeks.

I was perfect

But such perfection deserved to last forever
So I decided to take twelve pills:
One baby blue
One green
One happy yellow
One purple
One orange
One ****** red
One soft lilac
One golden
One gray
One pale pink
One brown
And one white that dissolved softly into my mouth.

I had the perfection and the eternity in bottles

Balloon.
Dominique Sep 2013
I blew
The heart shaped balloon

I filled it with
Every breath
I could take

I blew
Until I was empty,
My lungs hurted
And my lips were bruised

I tied a knot
So my air
Couldn't escape
From the heart
And that way
Keep our love alive

So,
I blew
I blew
I blew
And I took my last breath
For you

Foolish
Dominique Sep 2013
Their love
Makes mine
Seem so small
And foolish
That my heart
Breaks a little
When I think
About them
About him
About us
About what
We'll never
Be.

Falling apart (...)
Dominique Aug 2013
I get scared by my facility
Of changing so quickly.
My thoughts and my feelings
Easily renew themselfs,
And when you're in constant changing
Please people it's hard...
So I stoped trying to please anyone.
Who wants to be part of my life
Has to accept the new leaves that grow
And the old ones that fall,
But who wants to be part of me
Has to help to picking them up.
