You're my stress relief
In busy times
When everything
And everyone
Tumbles over one another

I take a moment.
Step towards the railing,

Feel my hair flowing
In the less than gentle breeze
Feel the continous rise of waves
Below my feet
Feel the low setting sun
Warming my face
Feel the sea salt on the rail
Underneath my fingertips

And I breathe.

I'm not a part of my stories.
My life is not a fairytale
And you're not my knight
In shining armour.

But I've always been a dreamer
My days were coloured
by magic and love

Lonely hours spent in a world
Shaped by my own will,
Where I could grow wings
And take you with me
To where the cherries bloom.

The day my imagination ceased
To take me away for hours on end
And the voice in my head started yelling
"Nothing of this is real
Or will ever come true"
- that's when I started growing up

I do realize that,
I won't be walking into the sunset
Never to shed a tear again.
There's no happy ending
No eternal bliss.

Nevertheless I'm still a dreamer
- dancing in the rain
And the ray of sunlight gives me hope,
that one day
I'll be destined to find the rainbow.

I just want someone
To love me as I am.
She said.

Denying that, when her wish came true,
She ran away.

I just need someone
To hold me tight.
She said.

Forgetting that the last one who brought her down the stars,
Had his heart broken.

I just want someone-
She said.

Yes, I say,
But not anyone.

If I'm falling
              For you
Will you be there
              To catch me

Or will you stand there
              Aloof
Watching me shatter
      I  n  t  o      pi e  c  e  s

I'll wait for you forever
till stars forget to shine,
and oceans become puddles,
words no longer rhyme

Till deserts turn to gardens
where flowers go to bloom,
the grass is red, the skies are green,
the dawn brings out the moon

Till rain is something very dry
and butterflies drive trucks,
when every pond is chocolate sauce
with candy coated ducks

Till basements have a penthouse view
with windows three floors high
and stairways are a place to swim
no matter how you fly

Till mountains are a level path
that you will go to walk
and silence now becomes a way
for every one to talk

Till everything we've ever known
is gone and disappeared
The world does end, there's nothing more
just like we always feared

Till broken hearts are happy,
tears a welcome site
Night comes at the break of day
and daytime looks like night

I'll wait for you forever
until the end of time
It matters not how long it takes
if I can call you mine

I fall in love easily
That's what you tell me.

And you are right
- to some extent
I will fall for you easily

It might be the dreamer in me
Head in the clouds
I spin my own reality
From colourful threads.

It might be the romantic in me
Looking for things beautiful
And loveable
In each and everyone

I will follow your lead
And hungrily pick up
The crumbs of attention
You leave for me.

And yet
I don't fall in love easily

It might be the little girl in me
Shy and insecure,
Disappointed by Life
And looking for protection

It might be the realist in me
Taking time to build up trust
For the past is not easily forgotten
And the future uncertain.

So you see,
No matter how much
I cling to you now.

Until you can show me
Love and affection,
Trust and protection.

I will leave to seek it elsewhere
Cause my heart is a sacred place
And I don't give it away
Easily.

She knew it was wrong,

The moment she put her head to rest
on his shoulder,

She knew it was wrong,

When he started kissing her
In a quiet corner,

She knew it was wrong,

As soon as she climbed into his bed
That drunken night,

She knew it was wrong,

To return to his arms
Day after day,

She knew it was wrong,

When she still kept texting him
After saying goodbye,

She knew it was wrong,

To hurt that girl so cruelly
Whom she never even had met,

She knew it was wrong!

But how could something so wrong
Just feel so right?
