An outstretched hand
And all I felt was cold inside…

Too many yesterdays
Leaves all my tomorrows just a day away …

Sunshine warms my skin
But my heart is so cold
It doesn’t trust
The padlock is too large
And the key is lost …

Love that is blind causes unspoken pain
Love that is soft
Becomes like rain
Love that is broken
Thats it!
It’s broken
just broken
There’s no more here to say …

That alone feeling
When you feel that no one in this whole dam world understands you
That’s kind of the flavour of today
And I’ve talked to myself all night and even though I talk back and that’s usually enough
Tonight it’s not enough
*Tonight the shadows are darker
The silence is deafening and I just feel like screaming to be seen

Please forgive me
As the world beckons
I fall into silence
Into the safety of my cocoon
I lay sleeping
Reinventing myself
DNA is mutating
Into
Something more beautiful
Or so my soul tells me
Colours will be my armour
Hues will befriend the darkness in me
And then
And only then
Will I be ready for my soul to fly
Fly like it has never before

Oh how in my slumber
I yearn for the colour
Of tomorrow

Piece by piece
By piece
By piece

Yesterdays hollow moments got filled
One thought
One action
One breathe
At a time
Yesterday I wasn’t sure
I could make another day

Piece by piece
By piece
By piece

I saw a new day
A day just a little easier
A day where the sun shone a little longer
A day where maybe
Just maybe
The pieces might fit together

*And the whirling  sound in my brain might stop

I see  You
I see you

Please don't stand too close
The devil has broken free from the shackles of his cage and is threatening
To take from me anyone that comes near

Stepping back quietly with grace would be your best option
But even then I can't promise your get out of this in one whole piece

Fragmented pieces falling
You crumble at my feet

If only you'd listened

The devil within
The Angel within
He fell
In darkness as in the light
As in day
As in night

Shh place your finger to your lips
Silence breeds contempt you say
But I say it just serves to keep you safe

In shadows we find ourselves
As sunrise appears
We thank god we have survived
