I Can Fly in the Desert
I didn’t notice I was floating
Even though I knew I was weightless
And the air grew thinner above me
I didn’t see the lilacs below
Where they’d once touched my feet
No.. I didn’t see them
Or the cascading mountains
That held the wasteland in a sandy cage
I was taller than the peaks of them
But nothing occurred to me
I didn’t know that I was ascending
Into a fresher, clearer atmosphere
I recollected something, as the sun fell under the pastel horizon
I’d found solace in the distance
And freedom in the blooms...
Even though I knew I was weightless
And the air grew thinner above me
I didn’t see the lilacs below
Where they’d once touched my feet
No.. I didn’t see them
Or the cascading mountains
That held the wasteland in a sandy cage
I was taller than the peaks of them
But nothing occurred to me
I didn’t know that I was ascending
Into a fresher, clearer atmosphere
I recollected something, as the sun fell under the pastel horizon
I’d found solace in the distance
And freedom in the blooms...

Lipstick stain
My lips start to sting
As I try to change your mind
Know it’s not right
pretending I’m alright
You’re lip stick stain
It Won’t leave my sight
Mistaken memories
Rehearsed In the mirror all night
Said your name 3 times
No appearance in sight
Maybe why its so quiet
Atleast I gave it a try
(Pre chorus)
IM
I started, I’m starting to
REAL
I started, I’m starting to
REAL
REALIZE
(Chorus)
You Beat me too
Saying I love, I love you
But I...

How to Forget You
I will fill my head with the verses that speak through every withered bone, replacing thoughts and pictures I was hiding
“Chase them out,” I say
My mouth will tell a better story than the one you read so slowly
And closed the chapter with your lips
Today, that story is replaced by a newfound realization that I exist on more than lines of a page
Finally, I will shut my eyes away from letters, gifts, your body
To keep them in the dark, where they will stay. I’m opening up. To find the things that I once loved. Distractions have been eliminated. I’ve...

IF I, WILL IT?
If I… will it…
If I blink will I miss it?
Will it disappear in front of my eyes?
Will time decide to accelerate, or will it minimize?
If I'm not there.
Will it climb backwards at a slow pace or will it sit and wait?
Will I choke inside if I don't move ahead or will I extricate?
If I… will it…
If I exhale will I push it away?
Will it evaporate into thin air?
Will life choose purpose, or will it be unfair?
If I'm...

To whom it may concern
I suppose you've realized by now, which is what has lead you too here.
I am assuming you are seeking an explanation?
I don't believe I have need of that, because you already know deep down as to why.
Something you avoided, something I wanted to resolve.
You couldn't just entertain me in coming up with a resolution.
You couldn't give me the opportunity to work what was neglected too speak upon.
Too a conflict you created by deception, and disrespect, can you blame me for what I have decided to do with this?
You...

ISOLATION
Words bubble up
To form a membrane,
Keeping burned patches
Of the soul
From drying out.
On your own
You dress
And wrap them-
Firm but gentle,
Tape it tight.
It’s inevitable-
We end up hurt
And confused
In these times
Of isolation,
Called upon
To be the nurse
In the emergency room,
To take things
One trauma at a time
With no promise
Of forgetful
Camaraderie
At the end
Of the day.
To form a membrane,
Keeping burned patches
Of the soul
From drying out.
On your own
You dress
And wrap them-
Firm but gentle,
Tape it tight.
It’s inevitable-
We end up hurt
And confused
In these times
Of isolation,
Called upon
To be the nurse
In the emergency room,
To take things
One trauma at a time
With no promise
Of forgetful
Camaraderie
At the end
Of the day.

Small Mind, No Matter
Man, you keep on spillin’
More than you’re a fillin’
So, you should never ever get all ya money
Where ya be gettin’ all of ones honey
You’ve inherited a handful of ritzy
An amount I’d say is just a little itsy bitsy
But I was born with a face full of glamour
So I guess now, I’m ritzy and glamorous, and so much more
You always did have a small mind, no matter
If I had to choose between you and my ex, I’d take the latter
‘Cause your always showing off to your friends
Think ya cool, cruisin’ Rodeo Drive, in a pimped out...
More than you’re a fillin’
So, you should never ever get all ya money

Innocent
With these sins within my mind
I find it so very hard to find
positive thoughts that I had of mine
Synthetic smiles,
Underestimated lies,
predictable lines I said to find
Out if you’ll leave me alone
innocence it’s so artificial
It makes no sense
Why I missed you
You Asked for help
Said i can’t do it
Now I’m alone
The Feelings are gone
Time took too long
What I was feeling was wrong
praying on clocks but it’s still so slow
so I can go and sleep among
These dreams that are only mine ...

A last goodbye
Dearest,
I would write your name, but if you know me, there is only one person that I would call that.
As of today, I think I officially lost the right to ever call you that again. I am genuinely so very joyful to know that you are finding purpose, happiness, and even love.
But here’s the thing. The thing that I’ve written down a hundred times already. The thing that I’ve sung more times than I can count.
I love you, still.
From the moment I first saw you at Schiphol, and until the moment my heart stops, I have loved you and...

Korokaja ~ (Let's go now)
Korokaja
One step, forward
Then, another one.
Kaja~
Don’t, look at me.
Cause when you blink, away
Between your stolen words,
I cry~
(*instrumental*)
Songbird whistles, small and frail
One heart paralyzed, from their stares:
“Just turn back now, don’t be scared.”
“It’s not over, just broken.”
“It’s not gone, no, only just hidden.”
“It’ll be fine, just, smile once more.”
But, I’m not fine. ...

Why Did I Stay For The Likes Of You
Gods, where the fuck do I even begin
I was 16 and I was so fucking stupid
I had dated some really fucking awful guys
I didn't really know how to say no at that point
And then there you were... this sweet talker from new york
You described the city like a poet would
Talked about your past and I identified with that
We became comrades in pain
And dear Goddess how much I loved you
You were carved from chocolate obsidian and
Every time you broke you cut me deeper
We dated, we broke up, we loved and we fucked
Over and over again we had...
I was 16 and I was so fucking stupid
