Poetry

Now I lay my head to sleep

He was never mine to keep.

I know that I should let him go,

But in my heart I love him so...

Selfish have I always been

This will be my greatest sin.

I will tell him all is fine,

Cause I know he isn't mine


The moon...

Broken and in half.

It will be full again,

Only to be broken in half.

Again, again and again.

Full, half, broken, in pieces.

Again, again and again.

That's its purpose,

It will never die.

Live to be full,

And then broken.

Again, again and again.


When I see into your eyes,

I can’t see anything...

I can’t feel anything...

You make me feel so empty inside,

Lonely all again...

What happened?

What did I do?

When I see into your eyes,

I can see hate.

I can’t feel any love...

You make me feel worthless inside,

Unloved all again.

What happened?

What did I do?

Breathing became so hard...

Reading that letter again

Or all of them, really.

Keep them close

Every word.

Now I can see the lies.


Dry and warm

Eternal and lost

Angel of death

Trying to kill you

Welcomes you home


So empty

So alone...

Why?

I don’t understand...

Don’t feel anything!

So sad

So broken...

Why?

I don’t understand...

Don’t care about anything!

So careless

So unforgiven...

Why?

I don’t understand...

Don’t wanna be!


The clock is ticking

Time's almost up

No time to regret

I'm already gone


I know this feeling,

I felt it before...

I miss somebody,

Something!

But I don’t know what...

I want it,

Want somebody

I don’t know!

Something is missing...

I must have had it before

How else could I miss it?

My body is screaming

Mourning of desperation...

If I only knew what

Then I could fix it!

I feel that’s something missing

If I only knew what...


I see through the stars

feeling small and alone.

Where do I belong?

Won’t somebody keep me safe

and protect me from this evil world?

What did I do to deserve this empty life?

Where is my family?

My home?


I’m sorry for what I had to do,

I couldn’t go on...

Couldn’t find the strength alone

When you broke your promise and left me all alone.

I’m sorry for what I had to do,

I couldn’t keep my promise

Didn’t have the strength alone

When you broke your promise and left me all alone.

From the bottom of my heart

I’m sorry for what I had to do,

This is my goodbye.


I can see a child.

A girl.

She's not laughing.

She's not smiling.

She's not crying.

Not anymore


There's a war coming.

A war with no winners,

Only losers.

It's a war between you and yourself.

You can't win.

Not against yourself.

It's your destiny to fight.

To lose.

And to slowly fade away.


I hear voices,

Whispering

I have nightmares,

Screaming

I'm awake,

Crying
