Our love was like those cigarettes you smoked,
so hot it can put a hole in your heart,
the smoke fills our veins and we began to choke,
and the cigarette died before the fire could start.
A house full of spectres,
a mouth full of rye,
left out in the darkness,
someone will cry.

death was a reason,
tears were for show,
once out of the bottle,
these spectres wont go.

Playing hide and seek
with the little kids
I was oddly
close to you

Part of me wished
it was him
and that he was
seeking me
and I'd finally
feel found

"Do
You beg
For his body
Against yours like his
Is pressed upon mine every
Day into the night, dirtily polite?"

No, but I stop and think
About the chances I had
With him all alone
That I've wasted
Dreaming of
Him
I think I'm going mad
You have no right to say my name
If you think that that's all there is to me
Judgement *****.
Don't forget about me
My dear
As I drown here
In tears

I'd say you did this
But I'm not really sure
All I know is
I don't want to exist anymore
Vale, amicus mei.
Blue is the sky
but also the ocean
kissing the shore,
for the very last time.

Blue is the snow
in all children's drawings,
blue is our skin
when we are in pain.

Blue is the empty
and blue is the farthest,
blue is the cold in our lives
and the pain.

Blue is the loneliness
always inside us,
it is the void
that makes us insane.

Blue is the biggest,
our most favorite color
it lives around us
as we call it air.

so eloquently
she spoke of her nights
not one spent sober
so casually
she recited her daily patterns
of picking the right fix
to banish indecisiveness

"you know,"
he began cautiously
"that'll **** you."

she smiled
sighed
turned her head
but not to cry
she felt his eyes on her
as if she should have had
a more assuring reply
Ever since you were small
You wanted to be at the top
But you must not have known
That at the top
Everyone is a watch
Because once you fall
So do the ones below
And we all fall
Like Dominoes
