Step by step; And stroke by stroke on your painting; Throw it away Word by word on your typewriter; For every broken glass, and the sound it made in your ears Glass, so fragile Shattering into thousands of pieces So small and so insignificant For every breath you hold; For every time you pull on your sunglasses and hope they won’t see; For every time a branch pinches your legs when running and the little pain is a reliever; You want more You always want more Breathe out; But it doesn’t matter to anyone You don’t matter The pieces of you are scattered and no one could hardly care You’re so close to that fine line You can’t help it But you are almost crossing the bridge You’d much rather fall over But here you still sit writing poems as if everything was alright 17.07.14

EMPTINESS
Step by step; And stroke by stroke on your painting; Throw it away Word by word on your typewriter; For every broken glass, and the sound it made in your ears Glass, so fragile Shattering into thousands of pieces So small and so insignificant For every breath you hold; For every time you pull on your sunglasses and hope they won’t see; For every time a branch pinches your legs when running and the little pain is a reliever; You want more You always want more Breathe out; But it doesn’t matter to anyone You don’t matter The pieces of you are scattered and no one could hardly care You’re so close to that fine line You can’t help it But you are almost crossing the bridge You’d much rather fall over But here you still sit writing poems as if everything was alright 17.07.14
Trying to fill it. The emptiness. But pain creeps into that hole every time. Too bad.
