I know that I can fall asleep in arms that aren't my own
but every time I wander off I end up in your throne
yet what's a king if folly be the only thing he seek
for I have heard the things he said when I was out of reach
his life commands a part of him I will not dare to claim
and all of it is more to him than I have ever been
my blood has boiled long enough for me to let the green
be something that was part of what I didn't want to be
so there he is and here I am - an almost circle's ring
I can't recall a single day remembering a thing
to read me.
Olga Valerevna May 2016
See this is how I am when I am barely being me
a piece of skin inhaling every other scent I seek
But nobody compares us to the whole of who we are
The beings in these bodies cannot go beyond the stars
For when we enter spaces that exist outside of time
Our organs fail to function in the breath of the divine
I hope another Spirit has been standing in the gap
My own could not resist the world I carried on my back
So let it be a lesson to the eyes and ears of truth
The more that we inherit makes us question what we do
But if I were a fool then I'd be strong enough to say
I'm just another body who has tried to *get away
can you see yourself?
Olga Valerevna May 2016
To meet another human* in the places that you go
you have be a seeker of the things you want to know
And not just in a way that makes it easy to have been
but so much more connected to the souls inside your skin
'Cause even if you shatter like a clay that enters heat
there cannot be a ****** lest you dare admit defeat
So wait beside the doors that mark the exit you have sought
and let yourself remember why you walked into your thought
The answer could be simple in a complicated way
but you will never see it if you make the choice to stay
I wanted you to speak without the fear of holding on
without believing you are but a shadow of a song
For that can be a mess that you intentionally made
to prove you aren't here because of something you can say
Forget we have the limits we ourselves create and ****
the passion you've been chasing could be living in you still
...how many people?
Olga Valerevna May 2016
so what if we made coffins of the people we once were
And ran beside each other in another kind of world
Where everything is blooming, feeding life into our bones
untangling our minds and making perfect all we've known
I'd like to think we'd learn to see the sadness in the truth
And let the eyes of passion show us what we need to do
So rather than exist inside the shallowness of skin
We'd just as quickly settle into what we hold within
I'll give it up to weakness, every doubt that I once had
await a day that tarried but was always holding fast
what if?
Olga Valerevna May 2016
my lips are not anyone else's
my mouth has a place of its own
and if you have ever thought different
exposed be the pride you have known

to see with the eyes of your spirit
you have to submit to its breath
then even in deepest of waters
you'll manage to make every step

it's simple enough to remember
but somehow the first thing forgot
when rhapsodic verbiage is offered
we sing to a tune we are not

but follow the song into silence
your very own tongue will explain
there's nothing that ever was spoken
that won't be repeated again
Acts 18:9-10
Olga Valerevna Apr 2016
I see the kind of people I've been seeing for a while
The ones who carry loneliness and hide it with a smile
If no one here wants to explain the tendencies we share
Then drivel on about the way we're barely even there
The point of all the thoughts we have is not to let them go
But rather find a way to share the little truth we know
Combine the commonalities and everything is clear
We all can be the kind of sun that never disappears
But if your day becomes the night reversed the other way  
Then who will you be talking to when night becomes the day
Bereft of any meaning you could ever hope to find
There's nothing in the darkness that can edify your mind
So choose the things you want to say and learn what time has taught
The lesson here is how to fight the way you've never fought
on what you fight
Olga Valerevna Apr 2016
I've given up my fingers so I wouldn't feel your skin
Or let you lay your hands on me the way it's always been
I'll stay inside my head where there is nothing left to lose
And watch myself surrender to the memories of you
I cannot say I want this but I cannot say I don't
And living in the middle makes goodbye my new hello
I've waited out the pressure I was feeling in my bones
I've realized the meaning, what it means to be alone
And if you choose to fight it know my hands are fast asleep
They're locked away with someone who has promises to keep
Although I couldn't see it in the corner of my eye
My person has a reason to continue asking why
But after so much breaking we can never be the same
Or settle in the valley, it's the meaning of your name
remember where you come from
