Can't Keep. Silent
It is a Simple thing
That we do
Creating thoughts
From our feelings
Where our Imotions
Are never spared
The pain
Of speaking
What our feelings
Are Thinking
That we do
Creating thoughts
From our feelings
Where our Imotions
Are never spared
The pain
Of speaking
What our feelings
Are Thinking

Not Afraid
I’m not afraid of the dark anymore
I lay quietly and listen
To every breath
Every heartbeat
Every rustle of the sheets
Before I drift off to sleep
There’s no more monsters under the bed
In my life
In my head
I shut them out and walked away
Into a life
Where there’s only me
It’s okay that I’m lonely
I’m not afraid of the dark anymore
And that’s more than good enough
For now
I lay quietly and listen
To every breath
Every heartbeat
Every rustle of the sheets
Before I drift off to sleep
There’s no more monsters under the bed
In my life
In my head
I shut them out and walked away
Into a life
Where there’s only me
It’s okay that I’m lonely
I’m not afraid of the dark anymore
And that’s more than good enough
For now

im yours
I'll give you my heart for you to hold.
Do as you do, I'll do as I'm told.
Your sickly sweet words that drown me down.
Pleasurable chains that kept me around.
Keep me chained to show me love.
Imprison me like a little dove.
Fill me with desire like a burning fire.
One thing’s for sure, you're my pacifier.
I can’t believe that I wrote this during the month of love. The month of love– the world has betrayed me by giving me the chance to talk to him again. The world has become cruel yet again. World, will you please spare this girl who’s lost...

dead beat
The season of love has ended and so did we—
Those few days with you didn’t strengthen me. Instead, you broke my perception of love. The idea of liking someone felt tangible. Yet just like Icarus, I fell down in flames, burned my wings,incinerated. It disappeared into ashes that flew away along with my senses.
The thought of me being in one. Perhaps I'll enter when the crows shed its wings, transforming its dark feathers into snow coloured ones. Possibly when the heavens crashed with the earth and turned the world upside down. But for the...

"Hiraeth"
---
Do you think I've forgotten?
I still think about you, more often than I'd like to admit.
Your presence clings to my thoughts,
even when I try to push you away,
you always find a way to come back.
I see you everywhere I go—
in places we once shared,
in strangers passing by with familiar gestures,
as if they carry pieces of you with them.
Your voice, soft and distant,
echoes in the crowd like a fading memory,
yet loud enough to stir something inside me.
Visions of your face never truly...

Killing Me Softly - with "Adagio"
Dancing with shadows at midnight's spell
Casting sweet curses into my soul
Pas de bourrée to the magic of fairy tunes
A euphony from the gramophone
Killing me softly with a wand
Fawning the memory of what was
Now just a firefly left to die
Casting sweet curses into my soul
Pas de bourrée to the magic of fairy tunes
A euphony from the gramophone
Killing me softly with a wand
Fawning the memory of what was
Now just a firefly left to die

People on the Take .
I have been taken for a fool so
many times . That's is what happens
when you are too kind and caring.
Some would say a people pleaser.
Now though it has made me reflect
I want to not let my anger set in
because I will be the only person
who will suffer . I am not a victim
I was too much of a trusting human
a bit of a day dream believer
which made me a tool for giving
away to much . To people who quite
frankly didn’t give two fucks .
I was more of a hippy love peace
and all that shenanigans, it doesn’t
work ....

Does it ever really end?
I'm not going to say i don't miss you,
Everything's subject to change.
And I know now that you didn't trust me,
So I have carried that every day.
Mm mm hmm.
Everything back then was so blissful,
Too bad i was going insane.
And i shouldn't have made it an issue,
But i wanted some help with the pain.
(Help me)
If you move on thats fine enough to me.
(Move on)
But I've held on these rights and wrongs.
Its not easy being around me,
I break like some film in the rain.
Fools say depression is healing,
Depression was...
Everything's subject to change.
And I know now that you didn't trust me,
So I have carried that every day.

BURNING DEVOTION
I jest with the incipient embers,
Flickers in the recesses of the mind,
Fickled and untamed,
Mesmerised by the warmth of harmless flames
Tingled by its glistening sparks,
Gazing through it blazes,
It whispers in moments of stillness,
Urging release,
Inwaiting chaos.
In its lick of flame,
My reason falters,
Intentions became sinister
Body surges alters,
Insatiable hungers
Nerves flutters.
Every of it burning ember,
craves attentions,
demands affections ,
Beseeches satisfaction,
in...

Tingled by its glistening sparks,

ill-fated
The Ill-fated
after the bombing
dead children everywhere
like an exploding dollmaker's
factory
Tomato sauce and noodles
a parade of the inhuman
Presidents are helpless
their country is helpless
while they slept
all power lost
A chorus arises, and songs
drown in thunder
We are the masters
we were the chosen
Cumulus clouds
will ask we see and hear
doomed humanity
Shivering, we wait for
the last bomb to drop
after the bombing
dead children everywhere
like an exploding dollmaker's
factory
Tomato sauce and noodles
a parade of the inhuman
Presidents are helpless
their country is helpless
while they slept
all power lost
A chorus arises, and songs
drown in thunder
We are the masters
we were the chosen
Cumulus clouds
will ask we see and hear
doomed humanity
Shivering, we wait for
the last bomb to drop

The Good, Obedient Girl
"Go in that position, baby."
"Yeah, just like that."
"That's a good little girl."
Diana's father spoke these words often, entangling her in a web of lies. Incest, sex, and so many horrible lies.
It's her fault. She didn't scream, so it doesn't count.
She took pity on him, and he took advantage of her empathy.
Both her parents in some way were pulling the strings.
To make her into mommy and daddy's perfect little girl.
Dare she might a single sound, they'd scream at her and...

Fire Red Hair
Fire red hair
You can tell an elegant lady not
By the fine silky strands of fire
But by something as simple as her nails
Or her demeanor as she waits in line
Fine woman ages much better than wine
Especially if you can say she loves you hard
After all this time she can still love hard and
Deep in your soul you feel the truth
Nothing like a fine lady and a sip of red wine
Sippin her love like grapes off the vine
If this was Christie’s or Sotheby’s I’d lift my paddle and raise
The score…for my baby has no price ...
You can tell an elegant lady not

Deep in your soul you feel the truth
Nothing like a fine lady and a sip of red wine
Sippin her love like grapes off the vine
If this was Christie’s or Sotheby’s I’d lift my paddle and raise
The score…for my baby has no price ...
