The meters run down
Your face just hit the ground
You didn’t say goodbye
Never have you felt the same
They left you in your pain
Alone in shame
Release your pain
Return in your own way

rae 6d
Hopelessly devoted to you
I long for you to
Caress and undress me delicately
Yet, I yearn for the heart you’ve burned
That’s to never be returned
Coated by your touch aware I’ll never be enough
Peerse 6d
No refenge , I'm really tired
Tears fall like words, a silent stream
a language universal, yet uniquely serene
they speak of sorrow, of joy and of pain
a vocabulary of emotions, forever sustained.

In every drop, a story's told
of love, loss, and memories old
they whisper secrets, of the heart's deep core
a language that's understood, by all who adore.

Tears of laughter, tears of woe
a symphony of emotions, as they flow
they bridge the gaps, between you and me
a common tongue, that sets our souls free.

In the language of tears, we find a friend
a companion that listens, until the very end
so let the tears fall, like words from above
for in their silence, we find a language of love.
Trust is fickle
I can bare my darkest secrets and my deepest emotions to strangers
Yet, letting the both coexist in the minds of the same people feels too risky
Why is it so hard to be completely vulnerable with any single person
I piece my hopes and fears, desires and needs out, sometimes recklessly, in hopes of finding something meaningful
Though rarely to the same people
I'd find it laughable, if I wasn't so afraid of being punished, in one way or another, for being fully authentic
I share one thing with a satirical depiction of masculinity, the mask of normalcy.
Yet its veneer is wearing thin and its facade is cracking and repairing it takes more and more effort only to see new fractures and new peeling paint
Do I wear the mask because I despise who lies beneath?
Rambling semi-poetic word soup
My woman
Put a spell on me
The clutches
Are tight I
Can’t get free.
She has this lure
There is no cure,
Her heart ain’t golden
Nor innocent or pure.
Her heart is a star
She’s a strange brew
She’s very  cryptic
Never blue,
Who am I to
Enjoy this treasure
Full of life and
****** pleasure.
dear crow,
did n´t your mother ever say
never love a stranger, boy-

for they are here
and they are not here
like a favourite toy

something can´t remember
they will pull your wings away
and smile askance as you fall

cry outside their door
caw into a letter-box
take their underwear

they are not here..
not for nothing they care
not here..
never love a stranger is a novel by harold robbins..
