For this seems to be the last one.

The pearl that I dug out
From the heart of the ocean
Loved not me, but the dead oyster

So long as we exist
We will question,

What is freedom?
What is justice?
What is misery?

So long as we remain human
We will want to know

What is life?
What is love?
What is death?

Years will pass
Crowns will fall
Thrones will rise
We'll dance in hell or rise to heaven

And we'll still ask
Why?
Why?

Why?

Unaware of my worth

I have stumbled uneasily through auctions

Never really satisfied

With the price I was sold for

Clouds swirling in a grey palette

Blue meandering round the edges of the evening star
Shards of dusk disappear into the horizon
Drop by drop
Tears gather in my trembling hands

The damp smell of rain masks the stench of misery

Stairs to the downside

Bridging the hopes of the heart

Your old love and my soul

Pushed further apart.

I get to see her when she runs in the rain
Soaking wet, water dripping off her chest like sweat.
I sit in the car and as she goes by,
I look at her approaching, then I look at her die.

    And I keep my head over the politics of the humans
    So that right and wrong doesn't tear me apart.
    In this unknown place, many souls I have known
    Seen their journeys end, seen their miseries start.

   She runs down the street unaware of my inhumane gaze
   Unaware of the world, unaware of her place in
   The depths of my immortal heart.

My chest feels stuffy

Maybe it's time my heart

Gave it's job to my brain.

I hate you
For the mellow smile that lingers on your lips after our fights

I hate you
For the faint scent of November that clings onto your shirt every Saturday night

I hate you
For the arrogance of your elegant hands every time you hold me

Why can't you be like to me for once?
Why do you have to be wonderful, so high?
I'm so insecure
So insecure of your laughter
Of your lively eyes
That I don't really know what I might do
If you were to go away, if you were to die.

I stare ahead
My reflection stares back
                         Bit
                              by
                                    Bit
We merge into each other
A mask over the pre-existing facade of reality
I have merged directions
And now
Can only gaze at
A blank canvas
Resounding with
    
                              Emptiness

Let us set sail
On our humble raft
To no country a d to no end

Adrift in this shoreless expanse
We shall sing to our heart's content
And feed off each other's love

Hurry now
For who knows when the raft shall break it's shackles
And set sail without us?

The notes of an old song
Float to me from the east

I gaze upon the emptiness of my heart
And forget my love for you for a while

I rest in the musical silence
Free from love's sad woes

           And then, my friend
                          I open the door to my heart
                                          And once again I fall in love

We weren't strangers behind the screen

You were aware
Of how my hair became oily in the afternoon

And I knew
How I could play tic-tac-toe on your dry arms even in summer

But that was one year ago
One fine day we stopped talking
Don't know why....did we fight?

You were my best friend
I loved you more than any lover and yet
We don't talk anymore

And I know that I should forget and move on
That variety is the spice of life
But...
I can no longer call a person my home

I was twelve
Twelve when I saw my parents fall out of love
Twelve when I was told that my face looked better from afar
Twelve when I was taught that being a feminist was silly
Twelve when I heard that I wasn't meant to cry aloud
Twelve when I felt that it was time I died
Twelve when I decided to cut open my wrist

And then I started to write
It is now on pages that I bleed

I'm sorry
But I couldn't get myself
To love your empty words
