If I could be the moon
I would not shine, but
My grey dusty bones would spin
Endless

Let me pull you in, my ocean
Let me push you away, my sea
Let me stay in orbit, my bittersweet gravity

I am alone
Do not look up at me
You will not see my dark side weep
feeling distant

Addy
Black sky, full of dark,
Stars glittering and dancing in the dark,
the air is warm and so is my heart,
Sitting alone in the park,
The nature makes a new life come out of me,
So I can almost hear a talking tree,
It says, ‘Oh what a surprise,
To get to see you again,
I may tell you about the Pharaoh's reign,
I may mention the death of Elizabeth,
But no as I have the best topic for my dear,
As the darkness falls down,
A beautiful girl comes out, lonely,
But with lots of friends in her heart,
She may cry on her own,
But she knows that one day,
She will be herself,
But the day never comes,
So I may tell you,
Be yourself, cause you never know
When your life may end’,
Hearing this I smiled at the tree,
My hair flowing along with the breeze,
I promised that whatever happens,
It shall always be,
Me, myself and I.
I stab and cut my flesh and there is no pain.

the warmth of blood is all my skin feels.

I cut myself open and expose my heart and yet I feel nothing.

the warmth of my blood is all my skin feels.

I touch my heart with my bare hands..... a throb.

warmth and a throb.

a new feeling brings joy to my face.

I carve my heart out and feel it throb till my body gives out.

no more warmth.

no more throb.
I have felt nothing for the past year, I tried but now I'm tired.

old willow
Tides rise and fall, the moon up and down,
sun waking west and east,
Heaven and earth.
Aloof, not that the world is beneath me,
The heart yearn for freedom,
Therefore spirit became he.
Man yearn for the sky, but can only daze on earth.
Therefore, Sky became their heaven,
Beneath became their Earth,
and Man became... its witness.
