I took the escalator today.
It felt like I was flying
ascending to my destiny.
"Why would they walk"
I asked myself
"if one could choose to fly?"

I took the escalator today.
It felt like I was being carried
effortlessly to my finishing line.
"Why would the climb"
I asked myself
"if one could choose to be carried?"

The escalator was out of use today.
"Why would you wait for help"
they asked me from the top
"if you could just use the stairs?"
But I was paralysed
for I have forgotten how to walk.

Carmen
the sound of the rain
like a song
you whispered in my ear
sweet like honey.
Carmen
you know how much I love you
your fingertips feel like satin on my skin
sing that song for me again
like a hymn
of you and me

Carmen.

how could you make him yours
while breaking me?

you
your skin is soft like velvet
while your heart is cold like stone

I tasted the blood
when I bit into your lip.
It was warm
and I ****** it in like a vampire
while you grabbed me
like an animal.

I fell for you
like apples fall off from trees.
Oh my Adam,
oh my Romeo,
canĀ“t you see
how my eyes get wide when I see you.
Like an open field
with the smell of lavender.
But the roses you gave me
they stabbed my heart
and when the the salty tears touched the blood
I screamed.
I would scream at day
I would scream at night
I would scream until my heart was shattered.
So please
take your roses
and give me lavender.
