not you
emru Nov 2023
i wouldn‘t have thought
i‘d think this about you
but I wanna just
skip this part
win the start
maybe not
feel the spark
I wanna get closer
but I‘m too close to you
can I maybe, feel more warmth?
honestly
somewhere between trust and honesty
I don‘t wanna get closed off
shut down
feel the cold

finish
emru Oct 2023
everything was already written
the book already finished
no hopes nor wishes
the road already paved
the way already walked
the clock keeps ticking and ticking
no beginning nor end
its already finished

just one
emru Dec 2022
one bullet
free from thoughts that pull it
please just let me sleep
paranoia that makes me weep
one cut, one rope, one bullet
all the things gone
that make me wanna do it

circles
emru Sep 2022
walk around in circles
and i miss the site of the city
stare down on the ground
drowned in thoughts
about you
its all in rhymes
string of words in harmony
about you being
my light,
my flower, my heart,
my one and only
my crowned queen, a piece of art
so far apart and so forlorn
the night comes around
and i just went ‘round and ‘round in circles
and im bound to the same conclusion,
the end’s always the same
that i love you
i write better than i can talk

sitting in the train
the mirror next to me
the drums kick in
feel like my world falls apart
shattered
staring in the mirror
my face covered in shards
how a song made me feel

tired
emru Aug 2022
i need to be alone
bits and pieces of my soul
forlorn
need to regroup and reform
burn everything and built from ashes
rise like the phoenix
the light flashes
the darkness gone for a while

every day
emru Aug 2022
my day starts with you
either by my side
or in my head
either way
we connect
either through our phones
or in your bed

but
this has ended now
the pain was too deep
to still go down this route
a way paved with pain and doubts
Jun 2022 · 178
i love talking to you
emru Jun 2022
with each of your words
the colors of the world
get lighter
the sun shines brighter
the rays blind my eyes
and
my smile turns wider

one day
emru Jun 2022
im afraid that one day
you wont say it back
show a lack of love
i prayed day after day
for you to stay
for you to say
the words back

same old
emru Jun 2022
i‘m overcome with doubt
my brain numb, i‘m about to finish it
can‘t go a second without wishing it
sought out suffering, can‘t keep it off me
feel the earths pressure on me
about to crumble but i keep on

emru Apr 2022
seems like everyday i got a new problem
no time to even solve the last one
my concepts clash
don‘t know what to believe anymore
cant trust others nor myself
nor my thoughts
they dont linger around
and i just move back and forth
my mood swinging
no progress
got no time to process
all this ****

alone. again.
emru Mar 2022
a bittersweet time
with a deadline
i know what it was
from the get go
still don't wanna let go
quick like ready set go
so much more to say
so much more to do
i count day after day and
before you move away
promise me

to be honest,
emru Mar 2021
for the longest
my only friend been my brain
and it promised
not to gossip
but now the news have been passed on
sitting in solace
i know its alright
because i ***** all these thoughts around
no one but me and him
will hear them though
because i closed the gates
voluntarily
ignorance is bliss
i placed the bars myself
wouldn't let anyone near me
but the hate still palpable
Jan 2021 · 108
who is he?
emru Jan 2021
who am i?
i don‘t even know myself
alone with my demons
how should they even know?
nobody is knocking on the door
there are worse things
than being alone
though the feeling
is known

painting called life
emru May 2020
my life’s a painting
not yet finished
but the outcome is clear
dark tones mixed with light ones
the light triumphs the dark
so it seems
a glimmer of hope
eaten alive from the overwhelming darkness that may be called life
the light gives hope
which is then demolished immediately
thinking it won the fight
but the war goes on
the more paint used
the darker it gets
only the painter and i
understand the meaning of it

tones of life
emru May 2020
the depressing colors
of everyday life
are more present
than the happy ones
but they shine brighter with the sun
theres always a window or a door out
but
even the weakest light beats the darkest tone

waiting
emru Mar 2020
people love to think about the end of things;
end of the month
end of the week
end of the day

but never will they think about the end of their life and only sit and wait like fools til the day comes.

encased
emru Mar 2020
nowadays nobody thinks about the world anymore. life became too static and the way to passive. the path is already there, surrounded by walls left and right. so why even bother to know whats behind them?

when the
clouds move quick
and the colors

and noise turns into silence
when the world seems balanced
perfectly even,
then you will know
that nothing is going to be

emru Jan 2020
feel your chest ponding at night

people care when their heart fails
but not when their brain starts
to smell rotten, in its little shell
