Ka

Ka
A mighty wind...
That destroys everything in its way
Creating its own way
Our life
Our fate
Our love
All must yield at its will
Our winds have collided
My Ka is now yours
And now yours is mine
You're an imprint in my heart
A tattoo that will never fade
My passion for you 
Reaches beyond the stars
No need for the moon
For you are more than enough
I love you
And for this
Ka I thank

Truth...

Alone
Broken
Lost
Forgotten
Abandoned
Without a home
Without a future
Missing the luxury of life
The love that we buy ourselves
But they have smiles…
Real ones
They have beauty…
Natural and irreplaceable
And love…
Innocent, sincere love
That they give away freely 
Giving all they have and more
We are the ones who are alone
Broken
Lost 
Forgotten
Abandoned
We’re missing the picture
Through less they have more
Through more we have less
Think about it

Downthrow

You lied to me 
When you said I could breathe underwater
I often bathe in sin
But now I’m afraid of the open sea
Anxiety chokes me like razor wire
Raped by my childhood
Sorry I didn’t hear you
I was busy dying in the corner
You’ve ripped at me and you’ve torn at me
You poked and you slaughtered 
You took blood from my veins 
And painted me a masterpiece
Flaming drops of insanity
Are the tears you created
And from now on
I will
Beat my fist against my chest
If only to prevent my heart from beating for you
