Ten million fireflies
Shine like your eyes
In the pale
Moonlight

we parted like a kiss
and all I wanted was a taste
of your sweet lips

we separated like two shores
and all I wanted was to reach
for your perfect hands

we cling together
for we are far apart
and I may never see

the sun rise again

when I looked behind me
I saw
the little pieces of myself
that I had left behind
and had a moment
of silence
and of pain
for the parts of me
that could not
carry on
so they stayed behind
so that I could
carry on alone
in this crowded room
I feel so alone
I wish
my heart was crowded
so tightly
we would barely
have room
to breathe
when life is sad
and hope is far
the ground beckons
and calls me near
it swallows me whole
into its depths
kissing me
into the abys
and so I carry on
the wrong way I go
and no one
has ever tried
to stop me
and tell me
the right way to go
and so I carry on
and leave behind a trail
of misery and pieces
of myself
into the earth
and of my head
I carry on
but will you
carry me?

of the many words you could tell me
even lesser would you mean
and out of those few
how many would I believe
for your lies are pennies
thrown into the street
trampled beneath
the abundance of feet

of the countless lives you could live
not so many would make you breathe
and out of those few
how many would you destroy
for your life is a shadow
in the dark of the moon
your face a shadow
in the gloom

and what am I
but the child of am mother
and the daughter of a father
no face to see
no heart to feel
but oh so many wounds to heal
and joy is rare as gold in an ocean
and so deep it lies
it I will never find

and what I want
to feel safe
in a home
not a grave
with a stone

the sense in my head
and the lack in my heart
and the blood in my veins
it tears me apart

forever less than the day before

You started to unfold me
Just to get to know me

To reach a core
What were you looking for?

Every layer a mystery
But you wanted a piece...
...of my history

the cold fills my veins
as if to drive me insane
just one single drop
it flows as if never to stop
freeze the whole world in a day
nothing, the statues will say
a choice to chose all my own
to make the world as hard as stone
gentle breezes to remind
of the world I left behind
will flow never again
the world of angels and of men
razed to the ground below
the people will never know
a rebuke of infinite nature
never before a choice so major
endless lies and shorter lives
to kiss the past into goodbyes
one last look over the abyss
do you wonder what we'll miss

I tell myself I am to late
Though I cannot cling to resolution
For' nor 'aft I have no direction

Still the waves may take me
Wish and whim alike
I am but a vessel
And a shallow one at that

Life is great, until I take my earbuds out

I do not understand
my own words
even in their simplicity

I do not understand
your actions
or a single choice you have made

I am vexed
beyond belief of both
illusion and that which is concrete

So fool me now
just as I am
tomorrow is a new day

One can only hope
in vain or futility
that I will be wiser as the sun rises

You tasted like death.

Such a sweet flavor
That my whole being
Craved for 'just a taste'
My tongue sticking
To the roof of my mouth
In anticipation

Just one bite
And it will be enough

Just one last bite...

I am wedged in, between the crack in reality

I was just your glass cliff

It is dark without the light
Something not so obvious

It is cold without your heat
The warmth of your broken skin

It is barren without your love
The tender touch so warm

I am lost without a guide
I cannot run, cannot hide

So lost in the thought
The answer escapes my lips

Bring me back to light
With your evening kiss

The stars guide all the dreamers
To better, peaceful shores

The isle of the blessed
Is reserved for the wishers of something
more

A dream hatched before it was done
Is a day spent in wonder of a life so young

A shot in the dark
A cry from the pain

A ghost with fingers
Who can mark the bane

Reading words on temple stone
Never leaving well enough alone

No words can express
What I feel right now

I cant understand the pain of today
I don't know how to figure out what to say

Cut the bonds
Slice the skin
Walls so paper thin

Listening ears
and
Aching hearts

Stop hold out your hand
I don't think I can understand

I just realized that
I have started lying to you
Not with words
But with my voice
And how my heart sings
A little less vibrantly
I will not apologize
Because
You have already
Tuned me out
Along with
The rest of the world.

if this was
my last breath
you would be
my last wish

but you make it so
tomorrow I will wake
from this terrible
and morbid nightmare

you are not my sun
but give source to its light
I see you in my future
hold me during your night

give me gentle
kisses on my forehead
take this pain
and give me peace instead

I begged for it
But once we were face to face
I couldn't handle it
Didn't want to realize
Give me the lies
Of the sweetest taste
Evict the truth
And fill its place
I submitted for a while
I bought it
Even like the taste
But all to soon
It was bitter
And reality was foul
Like smoke in my eyes
Left alone, in solitude
We were okay
But in a world
Filled with opposites
And attractions
You were not so appetizing
I followed you
Because you promised
To lead me home
But the place
That I was taken to
Was much to bright
For my darkened
perspective

As gentle as I go into the night
It is not good
And whence I return from such a depth
Cast off and abandoned from all I foolishly hold dear
Everything next to my heart is ripped away
Leaving me to be bound in agony
For all that is good is tangible
Still I cannot touch it
And all that has worth is so quickly spent out on fools and folly alike

She is a dream
And a fool all at once
Bound to the same stars as many souls before her
Like rockets set into space her mind wanders
And such as the sun shines so is she light
But there is more inside her than has been felt in the whole world
Compact and thoughtful
Overflowing and lacking all at once

He is a nightmare and a dragon
Breathing fire and flame to the wick of a candle soul
He is bitter and salty, a handful of the bottom of the ocean
You could drink and drink and your thirst never be quenched,
but you savor the taste in your mouth and you dare not spit it out
Just a kiss, to save the world
Just a hand, to lift up the sky
Just a heart to beat again, if you can find it bound within your chest
A mystery is this; if such a thing still remains
To long it has been left cold
To long, to long

Still the night calls
The twinkle of the stars enticing Though who can touch the celestials
Gentle she calls and gentle she is
Though strength has not abandoned her
