Leaves catch the raindrops,
the sky seems to be angry
There it is, the storm

Keep the window unlocked,
I'll chase my shadow through your room
and with needle and thread,
I'll sew the shade to my shoe

I've stood by this window pane,
To hear the stories that you tell

Lift off, fly away through the night
And I'll find you, in the twilight
Hang on, don't be afraid
It's a new terrain, when gravity gives way

Keeps those eyes open wide,
I'll sprinkle magic in your hair
And as you rise off the floor
I will abandon all your cares

I've stood by this window pane,
To hear the stories that you tell
And I've waited for the very day,
When you'd find me here as well

I can't feel you,
my mind is in a blur.
There's nothing to do,
as I see you with her.

You're standing next to me,
but the ice is so cold.
What do I have to be,
to fit into your mold?

A tear snatched away,
the avalanche has arrived.
The end of the same old day,
and I have still survived.

Leeching, latching on
*******, bleeding dry
Knowing, what goes on
Laughing, while I cry.

and all the mighty words,
that sank when I fell down,
are rising up again,
with no translation to be found.

they're crashing into chairs,
stumbling into fights,
chewing through my eardrums like
hungry termites.

when you stop tryin' to fight it,
you stop tryin' to hide it,
they know all about it,
and you got nothin' left to lie with.

I would give anything to have you back.
The you I knew.
Just for one night.
No strings attached.
Just one last night.
To give me closure.
To give me a chance.
To give me anything.
To make me happy one last time.
For you to hug me once more.
Kiss me once more.
Hold me once more.
Tell me you love me once more.
Oh what I would give for that.
Unrealistic.
It’s something I only dream of.
I can only hope that dream comes true.
There’s things I don’t want to admit.
Things other people don’t know.
I miss you.
I want you back.
And only God knows that
I still love you.
With all of my heart.
With all of my soul.
With everything I could ever give.
I still love you.

These blocks are thick

I cannot see through

Tip o' the tongue

Far from the eye



Oh! But then begins
flourishing thoughts
like a...
