i gave you a box of memories
a box you told me you had lost
you did not want it back you said
it was full of ghosts from the past
i decided to collect new memories
to let you see mine
you hid the box under your bed
for a while everything was fine

when the moon kept you company
on nights in july
you held the box in your hands
found comfort in my silent sigh
the once blooming memories
started to fade away
every cell in your body screamed
you desperately wanted them to stay

you gave the box to her
the long lashes-girl
and filled the box with the scent of change
to wash the guilt away
you filled it with laughter
and expensive wine
you let her snort *******
on the memories of mine

time went on
you filled your poems with her
and held her tight at night
you became her comfort zone
what you did not notice
i sat by the lake on my own
and quietly sang your poisoned words
you will never have to be alone

(k.w)

eleven past midnight.
i'm still here,
waiting and wondering.
are you ever coming back?*

(c.i.g.)

My heart is beating,
Time is passing by
Slowly, too slowly.

Wars inside of me
Keeping me alive,
Or maybe just not.

My heart is beating
The hours speed up now,
Maybe I'm getting older.

Wars inside of me
Keep tearing me apart,
Fast, too fast.

The dream I was expecting
Is turning into the opposite
And maybe I'm not here anymore.

Time keeps passing by,
The wars never stopping
And one thing is missing.

Maybe living in slow motion
Or maybe dreaming too fast
I know nothing anymore.*
