you were my best dream and you are my worst nightmare.
cause darling you're a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Just close your eyes
From the hatred
From the rejections
From the sufferings
From the pain
From the anger
From the corrupt
From the cruel
From the bullies

Just close your eyes
But not your mind

Open your mind
And fight all the injustice
And make others' eyes open

For a better world
For a better tomorrow
For a better planet !

Just close your eyes
But don't be blind

Just close your eyes,
To recollect the energy in you
To be the sight for the real blind!

1) Because your eyes looked like new beginnings, like adventures just waiting to happen
2) Because your lips were begging to be kissed, between the singing and the sighs and the moans
3) Because as I lay my head on your chest while you slept, it didn't bother me that your heartbeat was loud, and God was it ******* loud
4) Because it was you, just you, in the numbers, in the art, even in the breakfast cereal
5) Because it was even you in my breakfast cereal
6) Because the first time you caressed my skin I swore you could hear my blood rushing throughout my whole body
7) Because I wanted you so much closer
8) Because it was never close enough
9) Because even the closest would never be "close enough"
10) Because you always hugged me as if it were the first time you saw me again
11) Because you always hugged me as if it were the last time you'd see me
12) Because your skin on mine reminded me of a dad who used to watch scary movies on the couch with me, until one day I simply didn't fit/anymore
13) Because the tip of my index finger was drawn to the freckles on your nose like two opposite ends of the same magnet
14) Because I never understood Physics until that moment
As it is hard to tell you how I feel
I'll tell you through closed lips
That I took a vow of silence
To prevent both mine and your embarrassment
they always said,
"the only one
who will always
be there for you
is yourself",

but ive always thought -
if no one else
cares
about me,
why should i
care
about myself?
Depression will stay inside of you, it will be a part of who you are, and it will be an extension of your soul.*
*So you have to learn to live with it.
An excerpt from my new spoken word poetry piece :)
There is no distance
like the space that there is
between me and
this old photograph
resting on the
the most immediate side
of my bed.
What should I give to be able to trace the lines on your face again?
I've started removing the happier pictures of us from my walls and now their empty rectangular skeletons are left all over the surface of the paint.
I can't decide if it is an aesthetically pleasing coincidence or a ****** up metaphor for the way I left you but it's funny how time can rot everything and everyone in its path.
I'm sorry for being happy without you.
