I know how this story ends,
I've been here before, all too well.

I love, you tear apart.
I forgive, you take control.
A chain we never take off.

I held it close, grasping.
You pushed it, it snapped.
I’m collecting every piece until it’s full—
but it never is.

I shake my shackles.
You tell me to be quiet.
When it’s just us—
why am I too loud?

Every step, every drop, you're there to catch.
It’s not your fault.
Your hands were never made for something so fragile.

I scream silently,
your eyes avoiding me.
What did I ever do
to drown in both your presence and absence?

I hate it here.
All my flaws, all your mistakes,
shattering my soul, stealing all my hope.

My hands could slip free,
yet I refuse to take them off.
I stare at them, grieving.

Where would I go, if not with you?
We’re both trapped in here.

feeling the cracks in the walls. watching the floor crumble. my life is unraveling.
im not crying. i cannot yet. ill have to wait for a different stage - its not how denial works.
running my fingers along the lines. it cuts. it cuts deeper. deeper still. i see the blood but i dont feel it yet.

why do we hold onto ruins? to the ashes of things we never had? i try to keep it all together. i want to scream and rush to hold the base together - but i cant move. im just standing still with the slowly settling emptiness.

it was never there. it was all in my head. i knew that already and i know it now, more than i ever did. reality is seeping trough the gaps but i dont want to look.
why is it so difficult to face something youve faced many times before? and why is it so hard if you knew it was there all along?
i want the rubble to bury me. i want to take me with the rest. i want this life i could have never had, these walls i painted with love knowing it would fall.

i want to be free, trapped under all that never really was.

let me fall into your arms like a leaf
hold me close enough that I can taste your soul
let me drown in the galaxy inside you
devour everything I am, claim it as yours
let all my senses revolve around you
feel that it's only us in this universe
let my thighs shiver from your touch
stop my breath with your gaze
let me drift far far away with you
kiss the broken traces on my heart
let my skin burn from your fingers
light my being on fire
because I could never go back to the world I lived in
after feeling your lips on mine

let the rain fall heavy on me
as from the moment i was born
i was meant to fall out of grace

Floating in space
A lonely star with a dying light
Where does it end
Where am I going

Seen so many miracles
And so many stars
Without shine
When did they all
Fall apart

Kept flying,
Fading

But what happens if two stars collide
Maybe that's how
Beautiful explosions are created
Forever lasting

Maybe that was my destination
All along
To be broken and reformed
By your light

he's here

and once again i fall slowly
light as a feather
gravitating to the river
to be washed away
by the peaceful flow

.
The lack of sound creates
a pressure on my body
my skin, my flesh,
it doesn't exist
my bones are silently fading
as my soul has less and less space
to stay

I don't move
the world is floating around me
but I'm chained to the ground
they don't make a sound
I'm powerless

I'm laying down
letting the void devour all
I look at the light
from the tiny lamp
but I can feel how silent it is

Do I exist?
Did I even exist at all?
I could make a sound
but I couldn't hear a thing
I'm shouting in my mind
hoping for an echo

running
