Aeerdna
A hand pushes me in the black
whenever a ray of colour dares to appear in my eyes,
even in my happiest moments
I feel its touch on my spine,
it sets worries on my forehead,
a hand designated by my inner demons
to keep me restless.

In the echo of my laughter
you can still hear the voice of my angst
eating me alive.


A hand wakes me up at night,
painting nightmares under my lashes,
pulling my muscles,
breaking my bones,
digging in my flesh with its sharp claws;
the ceiling pressing my face,
I die a million times and still it is not enough.
it never stops.
.
My mind hurts,
heart beats too fast,
cracking up my weak veins.
Paralysed
I scream and cry,
afraid of the next nightmare,
I hope one day I will be able to hide.

*In the echo of my scream
you can still hear the leftovers of someone
who once wanted to live.

This poem is nothing to do with copulation,
The title merely grabbed your attention,
It caught your eye, your mind alert,
I like your style, you little pervert!

Each day must start with soothing cup,
It stirs my soul, it wakes me up,
Without, it's said, I can be a grouch,
Preferring to slob upon the couch,
From dawn to dusk I need caffeine,
To cope with the hours in between!

Life shall continue long after I'm gone,
Will anybody mourn, thinking "Was he the one?"
Time itself, will march right on,
Each night will darken after day has shone,
But will anybody think "He was the one!"
