Different door to the same house

I can feel the difference in my knucklesHow they clench around my palmThe knock is harsherAnd new again I’m sure I’ve got the right placeJust come a bit too lateThey’ve changed the lock on the doorBut not the gateI can get into the gardenI can lie beneath the leavesI can look up to my old…

Too much to ask?

Make me dance like the wind does the flowersAnd the breeze does the leavesMake me warm like the sun does the seaMake me cozy like the cushion does the sofaLike the vines do the treesMake me high like the smoke does my headThe powder, my noseThe slates, my bedLike the trees blow the leavesMake me…

Please

You think you could hurt me?Well you didn’t, I swear I didn’t spend nights cryingPryingMyself to piecesLike, why didn’t you care?You think you can break me?I call this character buildingBlocks like Lego Who I amKick it downIve got a new diagramI rebuild myself better each timeYou think you can love me?Try harderPlease

Falling trains

The train runs through pictures I wish would last longerThe babys crying is muted out by my musicI find myself falling in love with strangersAnd dangersThe water looks so appetising from far awayAnd voices sound so much betterWhen there’s no one I’d rather aroundThe train feels like I’m fallingAs the scenes pass from the back…

Like poison

The droplets fall into my armsLike you once did on my roofThe quiet smashOf breakingThe loud hissOf boiling water on my tongueThe rubber gloves never protected me fromThese kinds of chemicalsThere scent carries infinite milesThe effects last much longer

Was I?

Was I just an after taste?Of liquor and drugsOf last nights mistakesWas I just a lingering smell?Cologne stuck to your sheetsPut under a spellWas I just your walking stick?To help you stumbleAfter you were sickI never picked apart my feelingsI never ask why I chose youI never lost sight of sailing backCame home still loving…

My room

And my room smells of alcohol againAnd my room smells of meAloneAnd I really like itThere’s something comfortable about learning how to walk myself homeI’m learning how to stumble lessThere’s something comforting about my responsibility only being myselfMy rooms a messBut in my defence there isn’t anywhere to hang anything and there aren’t any drawersMy…

It’s a shame I couldn’t see its light on your face

Will we always seethe same skyat night?If we’re far awaycould it change?It mightBut I’m glad that we sawthe same moon tonightWasn’t it beautiful!Half round, so very brightWasn’t it lovelyTo be sharing the same sight

Don’t write

I tell myself not to writeBecause I five too deepBut then, I fallInto a world to easy to keepOf tinder dates that fall in love or to never been seen againOf short 6 second videos that teach me nothing or bring up painI tell myself not the start writing because I’ll be depressed again.But how…
