Cry
I am alone
Even though
I don't want to
Admit it to myself
I don't want
To think about it
It makes me
Want to cry
I talk and smile
But deep down
Dark thoughts
Come to life
And I ignore
Leaving it no space
Yet nowhere to go
So it stays
And I carry it
Within me
Locked and caged
In my beating heart
Cry and weep
Once and for all
I tell myself
Let it all go
And I choke
On the tears
That I wept
Alone
...

Longing for you
I dreamt of you
The whole night
And in my dreams
Were countless scenarios
Where your lips ended up on mine
I awoke in hopes
Of seeing you tonight
Yet upon arriving
The party was already starting
And you were not there
I waited for you
Searching for your
Emerald green eyes
Amongst the dancing bodies
Yet in vain, you never came
Thus my mood turned sour
And my heart ached
The night was disappointing
And nothing I did
Could make that change
And there, in...
The whole night
And in my dreams

And you were not there
I waited for you
Searching for your
Emerald green eyes

Yet in vain, you never came
Thus my mood turned sour

The night was disappointing
And nothing I did
Could make that change
And there, in...

Expectations
I love nature
The birds, the trees
The wild and the green
I love observing it
And taking shots of it
With my camera
Which makes a perfect picture
Where time stands still
I love writing and reading
How the words take meaning
How they make me feel things
A new reality
In each and every story
Wanting to convey a message
And make a statement
But these are things
I shall not pursue
Since money
Isn't much earned
From pursuing such inclinations
My mother told me
You should study...
The birds, the trees

I love observing it
And taking shots of it
With my camera
Which makes a perfect picture
Where time stands still
I love writing and reading
How the words take meaning
How they make me feel things
A new reality
In each and every story
Wanting to convey a message
And make a statement
But these are things
I shall not pursue
Since money
Isn't much earned
From pursuing such inclinations
My mother told me

Gone
When will I finally forget you?
I can't stop myself from seeing your face
Everytime I close my eyes
Every wrinkle that appears when you smile
I want to let my fingers run over your body
Learning and memorizing every trace
I want your eyes to follow only me
I want to be the only person you look for
I want to see you first thing in the morning
When my eyes flutter open to meet yours
I want to kiss your lips like they're mine
And make you utter noises that are so fine
So now that you aren't here anymore ...
I can't stop myself from seeing your face
Everytime I close my eyes
Every wrinkle that appears when you smile
I want to let my fingers run over your body
Learning and memorizing every trace
I want your eyes to follow only me
I want to be the only person you look for
I want to see you first thing in the morning
When my eyes flutter open to meet yours
I want to kiss your lips like they're mine
And make you utter noises that are so fine
So now that you aren't here anymore ...

Faking It
They say fake it
Until you make it
So that's what I try to do
I tell myself things
That seem like lies to me
Is it just in my head?
Am I imagining things
When I look in the mirror?
I see stuff that's not there
And don't see the things that are
You said that
You've been through it
That you once felt the same
And that lying to yourself
Is just the best way
So if I repeat to myself
That I'm beautiful
Just the way I am
Will I ever believe it
Just like you say?
Until you make it
So that's what I try to do
I tell myself things
That seem like lies to me
Is it just in my head?
Am I imagining things
When I look in the mirror?
I see stuff that's not there
And don't see the things that are
You said that
You've been through it
That you once felt the same
And that lying to yourself
Is just the best way
So if I repeat to myself
That I'm beautiful
Just the way I am
Will I ever believe it
Just like you say?

And Yet
Alive
Yet not living
Alone
Yet there are people around
Sleeping
Yet my eyes are wide open
Silent
Yet it's loud
Moving
Yet I'm stuck
Chasing
Yet there is nothing to chase
And Yet
The sun still shines
Yet not living
Alone
Yet there are people around
Sleeping
Yet my eyes are wide open
Silent
Yet it's loud
Moving
Yet I'm stuck
Chasing
Yet there is nothing to chase
And Yet
The sun still shines

The Voices
Tick tock tick tock
Says the clock
I've been laying here
For too long
Another day
Another week
Nothing changed
It's still as bleak
Trapped between
My own four walls
And there's no window
There's no door
Some may say
It's quiet here
Yet they don't hear
The voices I hear
My limp body
In the lonely darkness
Waiting for sleep
To catch me
Nothing helps
I need to get used
To the ceaseless humming
Of the voices
Says the clock
I've been laying here
For too long
Another day
Another week
Nothing changed
It's still as bleak
Trapped between
My own four walls
And there's no window
There's no door
Some may say
It's quiet here
Yet they don't hear
The voices I hear
My limp body
In the lonely darkness
Waiting for sleep
To catch me
Nothing helps
I need to get used
To the ceaseless humming
Of the voices

Secret Bromance
It's a secret
Yet everyone can see it
By the way he looks at you
The way his eyes
Linger on your face
First the eyes
Then the lips
The intense stare
He only gives you
No one was supposed
To see that moment
But the desire was too strong
And he couldn't hold back
Pinned you up against the wall
Pressed his body
Against yours
But people were watching
And this was not for show
He thinks no one
Sees the way he winks at you
Everytime you pass by
Or the way ...
Yet everyone can see it

Linger on your face

No one was supposed

And he couldn't hold back
Pinned you up against the wall

Sound of my Heart
I read it again and again
I see every word
Hear every phrase
Yet these are not
The sounds of my heart
There are so many words
To describe my emotions
Yet every word I try to use
Doesn't quite fit the puzzle
Like a false note in a melody
I try and I try
To dig deeper within me
And find the right words
Write what I'm feeling
Like looking for a silent whisper
I am nothing
But a mere human
Looking for the right path
That will lead me
To the depth of my soul
...

Lately
I awoke
With the sunlight on my face
Blinking through the blinding light
The oblivious seconds
Of a new fresh morning
Where the mind is clear of worry
And you feel your heart
Pounding evenly in your chest
I awoke
Retrieved my consciousness
And wanted to drown again
In dreamless sleep
Cause getting out of the covers
Means another long day
Where a single minute
Can stretch itself to hours
I awoke
And felt the air around me thicken
Turned around in my sheets
Not wanting...
With the sunlight on my face
Blinking through the blinding light
The oblivious seconds
Of a new fresh morning
Where the mind is clear of worry
And you feel your heart
Pounding evenly in your chest
I awoke
Retrieved my consciousness
And wanted to drown again
In dreamless sleep
Cause getting out of the covers
Means another long day
Where a single minute
Can stretch itself to hours
I awoke
And felt the air around me thicken
Turned around in my sheets
Not wanting...

Loving You
I wonder what it's like
To wake up at your side
My hand on your chest
My face nested
At the crook of your neck
Countless times
Have I imagined myself
Propped up on your lap
Your hands, gentle and strong
Circling my waist
Maybe it's a good thing
That we won't see each other
After this night is over
Cause I can't handle seeing
Someone else by your side
I'm sick and tired of writing
All these poems about you
Yet I can't bring myself
To reach my hand out to you
And...
To wake up at your side
My hand on your chest
My face nested
At the crook of your neck
Countless times
Have I imagined myself
Propped up on your lap
Your hands, gentle and strong
Circling my waist
Maybe it's a good thing
That we won't see each other
After this night is over
Cause I can't handle seeing
Someone else by your side
I'm sick and tired of writing
All these poems about you
Yet I can't bring myself
To reach my hand out to you
And...

The Boy on the Bus
The moment you got on the bus
I remember my eyes automatically
Searching for yours
Yet I didn't let them linger
Scared that you would notice
Your ash blond hair changing shades
To bright glistening orange
Under the setting sun
Your blue gaze looking
Out to far away places
Lost in the moving landscapes
How I'd love to let myself rest against you
Tell you how beautiful you are
With the sun in your eyes
Washed in the warm colors
Of gold and orange.

How I'd love to let myself rest against you
Tell you how beautiful you are
With the sun in your eyes
Washed in the warm colors
Of gold and orange.
