Liz And Lilacs
Let it die,
Stop with the sunlight,
The water,
The care,
It's a hopeless case.
Once the rose is cut,
All it can do is wither.
It's too late to save it,
Just let it die.
I thought this kind of looked like a vase but I didn't mean to do that.

Liz And Lilacs
Every time you sent me
one of your fake smiles,
I clenched my fists
and covered my eyes,
pretending I knew nothing.
Turn away and keep quiet,
Isn't that how the world works?

He had forgotten
how to love,
But she blew away
the dust that had gathered,
With single breath
and a smile on her lips.

Stop screaming,
no one can hear you
in this terrible nightmare.

Girl On The Wing
Do you ever feel
Like driving off in the middle of the night
Climbing a mountain and yelling
At the moon?

In all its serenity
In all its quiet peace

A constant sight in my sleepless nights
And I must know it's secrets
Jan Harak Mar 2015
It's okay
if things don't go my way
some days
they always have their own way

But why is the way to hell
a highway, a highway...
and the only way to heaven
is the stairs?

I really thought
though the way was tough
that there's a place
we could go

In the end
put out fire
let's move on
to nowhere.

Love...
so strange
beautiful
sometimes ugly
fills my heart

A lover who...
draws a line on intimacy
who accepts, but not fully
who makes me laugh
but slings an arrow
a tear drop falls

Love so fulfilling
but leaves me wanting

Bittersweet...
the heart yearns
for romance
and sighs in comfort

Always touched
in friendship
denied a lover's touch
of sensual promise and passion

Love...
So strange
beautiful
sometimes ugly

Fills my life
