Yours

Joanna
When you caught my eye from across the room,
little did I know you would be my doom,
How could a smile be laced with such sadness,
the act of loving you is clearly pure madness,
every time I get near, you push me away,
but when night falls it is with you that I lay,
time passes so slowly when I'm in your arms,
but you keep yourself distanced, you hold up your guard,
the battle within me has turned into war,
How can you miss something that was never yours?

The Noose
Curb your tremble
Lest the sea catapults you
Into it's bluest of depths
Again.

du fik den af din mor og far
den dag du blev født
den dag du kom til verden
uskyldig og ren og lille
og uvidende
det var den røde tråd
meningen med dit liv
og de gav den til dig
så du kunne forlænge den
og slå mindeværdige knuder på den
og det gjorde du
i mange år
indtil han kom forbi
og efter flere års forlængelse (forelskelse)
klippede han den over
med sine skarpe ord
og den var i stykker
og du var i stykker
og meningen med dit liv
var i stykker
og selvom du var spejder
dengang du gik i børnehave
kunne ikke engang
den stærkeste (*****) knude
binde den sammen
binde dig sammen
selvom du forsøgte ihærdigt
dagligt
men på din uniform
sad intet **** mærke
kun et bål mærke
og det brændte indeni
og han lod dig brænde
indtil den røde tråd var forkullet
sort
sort som natten
sort som dit sind
og du fik den af din mor og far
den dag du blev født
og du døde den dag
han tog den fra dig

Strayed
We ran from forest to cliff edge

From cities through fields

To where we stood now breathless.

Your eyes caught mine, such sorrow

I saw beneath the reflections

The moonlight cast the tree’s its shadows

Drifting with the wind intertwined.

We followed the light of the east coast harbour

And sought salvation in the stars

Can it ever be ours? The choices and decisions?

Are we all but just who we are

Made from the opinions and thoughts of

Everyone who surrounds us?

Our friends are all we are worth

Worth nothing without them

And I knew you needed this

To escape from what you had built

To get away from all that you knew.

And its only pride that has got you this far alone

But it can’t stay like this forever

We all fall to our knees

In search of something greater

We all lose sight of where we’re going.

You left the world behind and I followed

In the search for who we were

We found each other’s hands in the darkest of lands

And we travelled back towards our friends

To the place where our eyes and hearts called home
