Turn into love instead
When I am dead, all the things I wrote, all the things I said, that made you criticize, irritated and distressed, made you uncomfortable in your heart and the head, will become dearer, be the sorrow a real good measure, will bring tears if you let the thought stand nearer and will turn into love instead. The love that I wanted and you did not understand. (27.03.2025)...

Premium Member Instead Of A Clunck It's A Clanck
Instead of a clunck it's a clanck A dreamlike sound to my ears That irreplaceable new car smell Not known for many years Instead of a clunck it's a clanck I'm driving a brand new jalopy With all the bells and whistles My mood is feeling really free Instead of a clunck it's a clanck Musta died and gone upstairs Slapped myself, yup I'm...

Instead Of Doing Wrong
The heaviest guilt inside in never that easy to hide; just think how the conscience will react to a false pretense! And instead of doing wrong, you could have been kind avoiding conflict and move along: can untrue words rhyme in a song? The laughter of a cheater is always a heartbreaker: when it contradicts belief and leaves one in disbelief! And instead of being jealous you...

Let The Pills Kill You Instead Of The Humans’
{"This heavy humanness she burdened inside, Sent electrical shocks through her body, she would weep silently with a fist pressed up against her maw with her eyes evidently glistening nobody would attempt to console her and detach from the everlasting impact of the storm, thrown in her way, she got sucked in, she still couldn’t...

Loved with my mind instead of my heart
She pertained all pure and fragile resemblance, her eyes brown like the melting bubbles of magnum, soothing minds and souls years of my teenagehood, when nothing mattered but I only the glow of her innocents to my face, the only which completed the worth of my waking days held tight to my chest, was her empty shell, a...

And Instead of Being Sweet
Get angry sometime, don't hold it inside... and instead of being sweet, slap me hard in the face to make me feel disgrace My intentions were bad, I put you aside more than once, forgetting your needs; you cried and were afraid: I was having so much fun, you were shedding painful tears: you longed for the brightest sun! Chase me and...

Simulation Instead of Stimulation
Have been fearful to invite fears Bening careless to forget tears Sometimes I wonder what if We would have fulfilled all the Promises we made with will Something like a sharp knife My subconscious stabs me Just to know how to feel Setting all the barriers free Also knows how to heal Tried to make up with bribe Without any certainty As if been plugged in Without a...

Premium Member Instead
It was the hurt that made him good, from beginning to end as all things should. It was his loss that made him great, and from his pain, kindness escaped. It was a hole inside that made him wise, left to nurture light, where the darkness hides. It was rejection he feared, but most of all, his...
