I've tried to warn you
again
and again
about

those times you say
your hair is ugly
because it doesn't glow
as you'd like to

or you are as uninteresting
as a grain of salt
dropped in the water
of a cosmic ocean

or your gritty knees
aren't lovely because
they aren't soft enough
to sleep over them

or your eyes aren't shining
because you feel
you are empty
as if nothing matters

I've tried to warn you,
the dearest of my moons,
that you are
so wrong.

I find you,
let's see,
fascinating,
glowing,

chaotic,
enigmatic,
magic,
soft,

lov­ely,
ephemeral,
yet,
so unforgettable

I find
your hair
dancing
with your shoulders

to some music
that
was really
acute

yes, I find it
so amusing
I could stare you
for hours

(no matter
how much
your hair
'isn't glowing')

I say, I can connect with your veins
and navigate
through
all your inner galaxies,

in constant expansion,
with their entropy
walking around
in the park of life

and I believe
it is
so wonderful
I can't believe my eyes.

I could get lost in your skin
every time
you get
asleep,

because
Radiohead isn't enough
to make me feel
like a lost song

if I'm not lost
around you,
then,
why am I lost?

and, yet,
your eyes
are a mystery
waiting

for the rain
to come
and wash you away,
and wash mankind away

that's why,
my darling,
I keep insisting
that

you
are
so
wrong.

want to-

-disappear!?

don't believe me,

I'm just

******


but

I have to keep breathing

as if

nothing is happening

can I?

should I?

I don't really know but oh God I wish I could know anything of anything at all

and I wish I wouldn't have to keep writing this statements about

desiring an uncertain death that

doesn't come.
sorry for this, I know it's something not-really-good, but I'm feeling really chaotic right now.

I can't stop this business of ******* missing you
and I'd still hold your hands
and kiss your little veins with my soul
and hold you into my arms so tight

and it's ruining my life believing that
I can't run away from this
I can't stop feeling lonely if you're not around
I can't hold my pieces together again

I can't believe how much I loved you
and that's ****** up because you didn't
and now that you run away
and you're not around, it's my fate

and I believe it's just unfair
I can't run away from your crazy kitten smile
I can't do it same way you did
I can't and it's so painful that
I can't

I didn't ask for you.

It was you who,
shining, came to me,
and told me to draw a pineapple.

It was your laugh that
made me smile so much,
from star to star.

It was you, and only
your voice what gave me reasons
to keep going in life.

Now you aren't here.*

Your shining isn't nearby,
and I look for you in space,
I can't find your lips.

Your eyes aren't around,
so there's no mirrors
to look myself into.

Your heart isn't glowing
at my heart, not anymore,
and I don't know what to do.

*No, I don't know what to do.
uh

man
man, she used to hold me
like a hurt child,
and tell me that everything
would be so okay,

man, she loved me so far,
and when my darkest,
she took my heart away
with a single kiss of her mouth

man, she punched my pain
and make me feel flowers,
like I was in love
of her beautiful smile

man, she is still everything,
I don't want to let her go
or make her unhappy,
not anymore, not that

but, dude, she is flying,
and I was just some weight
she kept carrying
without making any sense
hm, I guess this is based on "'Tis a Pity She Was a *****", by David Bowie
