I hope, I forget

Intangible, running faster than the time,
and in the middle of my reality, I am living a lie,
like you'll come out and tell me you are mine.
But I am so tired, tired of the wind and this sky,
tired of never being able to tell you why.
Left my skylight open, cause it's hard to hide,
you know everything, except what I thought you now realize.
Talking to my friends, 
talking to the God who disappears,
talking to you, 
cause you did put me here,
still supposing that you might come back and slay what I fear.
Irreplaceable, you know all my blindsides,
and I might compose you a rhyme, this wouldn't be my first time,
but I won't, I am not even entitled to be here.
I know brown eyes, I know what you look like when you lie,
I know you by heart, I know everything you think you did hide.
Talking to the liars, 
talking to the God who disappears,
talking to you,
cause you left me here,
still hoping that you might come back and slay what I fear.
Strong, cause I've been weak,
inviolable, come to see me with the mist,
untouchable, the memories we once made,
uncertain, my courage, I hope I forget.

4 and a half hours late

Middle of the night and I cannot dream,
going by my pace, I think I'll breathe, 
you're not fading it's super HD,
you're a bauble while I am the bitter reality,
Here we go again, seeing you on Christmas,
a lot of things happen, but you're four and a half-hour late,
and you'll leave too soon, you know I hate what's uncertain.
Mirror mirror on the wall,
just show me a picture of the last time when I was carefree,
a picture of when I was not rushing through this hall,
a picture of when I wasn't flying so cerulean.
When I wake up, all I think about is you,
going by my pace, I forget it too,
but the guitar in my room, still waits for you,
my watch, my wallet or even my craft,
your coat still is hanging with my scarf.
and everything you ever displace stays misplaced just like my heart,
waiting for you to come back and to shift it aft. 
A lot of things happen, but once a year is so expensive, 
then you leave too soon, and this is how much I miss you.
Mirror mirror on the wall,
just show me a picture of when I wasn't afraid of being broke,
a picture of when I didn't have these walls standing so tall,
a picture of when I didn't want time to stop.
The more I give, the less I am left with,
I've lost my perception, I am whatever you make me see.
for today only, I want you here, I want you with me.
This is just so typical of us,
when I want you desperately, is exactly when you'd leave,
and when they see me with you, they wouldn't realize what it takes to visit.
You're near Vondelpark, watching some movie, while I am living it,
the story of a star-gazer and the boy who let all her stars shoot for his shallow dreams. 
But I need you desperately, so why'd you have to leave?
How can I ask you to tell, if you don't ask me to listen?
try saying "no" to my dad, for once I wish you let it be.
mirror mirror on the wall, forget everything,
just show me a picture of me not having anyone to miss.
Sending me flowers, and writing me letters,
you're more than I can ever give,
but this is just so typical of us,
for today only I needed you here, I needed you with me,
and for today only you cannot take my call, oh you're so busy.

Chronicles of a Love Lost

Winter solstice, shaky hands and cold fingers of mine,
million mistakes, you held my hand, to leave me again,
afraid of the dark, afraid of my own heart,
my stars are never aligned to get things right the first time,
Should've known ours can never be next to each other.
Limitless, as they named me,
pouring, as you've always called me,
but when you left, I felt like there was nothing left for me.
I loved to write, and you used to sing,
Its been a very long time,
I still don't know what's sweeter than your lies,
I repose in time, I realize your presence is just in my mind.
you came back, I let you in, I'll do that again,
Its been a very long time,
symphony of your songs still rhymes with the love that didn't survive.
May our destinies remain separate for as long as we live,
yet we must never separate from one another's life.
magical summer, I've loved it my whole life,
million mistakes, wrap me in uncertainties, wrap me in your lies,
I know you care when I am around, do I my absence just as sound?
Sometimes, I feel so anxious, for they think I am missing home,
for the one, I think I've never known.
Touch and run, you said we'll never become of my parent's kind,
but when we fought, I felt you touching my deepest prejudice.
I still write, and you still sing,
Its been a very long time,
I still don't know why you stayed when I couldn't smile,
you cared for me, you saved me from dying.
its been a very long time,
symphony of your songs still rhymes with the love that didn't survive.
may we keep falling in and out of love until we die,
but never again with each other in this lifetime.

The Art of Longing

Sunset of your summer, by the poolside all my winters
and when you go away, waiting like you're my only way,
drowning down in your sight beiges,
I feel your heart beating in these pages.
Wondering how you aren't mine after all these years and time.
It's easier to like you when you act like you know,
Maybe I like you best when you're just with me, alone.
I love you like I love the stars, I still love you from afar.
Easy, the way you come to me, easily you go away
and easy you hold my hand, easily you drop it again.
You fleece but the deed and the person behind it,
picturing you with flowers and with leaves.
In all this time and space, I don't see you mine.
think I like you best when you're waiting for me across the road,
think I like you best when every night you drop me back home.
I fancy you but, I know you aren't mine.
Do you know your birth date has become a password by this time?
here we are again tonight, what's dead may never die,
Holding me until I stop crying, holding me when we're happy,
I know you love me too, just not the way I love you.
Anyways I feel sorry for us, particularly for me,
but stay with me, I don't want you to leave.
Wondering why aren't you mine after all these years and time.
Guess I like you best when you make that face and look at me,
guess I like you best when you're jealous of someone I don't even acknowledge,
guess I'm ready for combat I won't have to engage in,
guess I fell in love with your balance and your grace.

My missing puzzle piece


Dear my missing puzzle piece,
You're the rite of movement
I know you don't even know me yet,
But this year feels like an apocalypse,
I've never felt so loved and low at the same time.
I'll trade my life, I'll trade my soul,
I'm yours, just take me home.
I do not know what I think, 
and none of my best friends know what I think, 
The sweet torture my face and my fiction go through,
the sunsets I despise,
that cover my tears, my truths.
"pretty eyes of an angel, empathy of a god."
"Oh, you've got it all,
You always get all that you ever want.",
Sure, but they've only seen me through the mist, 
of their delusion,
and my goddamn first guise perfection.
They've only known me for some years,
while no one sees what rots in my mind or my fears.
Maybe this was my purpose after all,
Maybe I was meant to be wandering around closed doors,
Maybe I'll stay like this forever,
I'll grieve a heart that I let you pause.
Dear my missing puzzle piece,
You've become a ritual of my movement
I know you don't even know me yet,
This year feels like an apocalypse,
I don't see an end to this grief.
'Cause it's a shame,
I ended up losing my loved one once again,
dividing all that we've collected, happiness is a myth.
Now I have left home before, 
for none of them meant more than walls,
I've picked petals before,
Divided we stand, united we fall.
Dear my missing puzzle piece,
I know you don't care that much,
but it's your absence that has left me pierced,
Dear my missing puzzle piece,
Where will I find you?
how will I mine you?

Heartstrings in the Twilight

Sunset of your summer, by the poolside all my winters
and when you go away, waiting like you're my only way,
drowning down in your sight beiges,
I feel your heart beating in these pages.
Wondering how you aren't mine after all these years and time.
It's easier to like you when you act like you know,
Maybe I like you best when you're just with me, alone.
I love you like I love the stars, I still love you from afar.
Easy, the way you come to me, easy you go away
and easy you hold my hand, easy you drop it again.
You fleece but the deed and the person behind it,
picturing you with flowers and with leaves.
In all this time and space, I don't see you mine.
think I like you best when you're waiting for me across the road,
think I like you best when every night you drop me back home.
I fancy you but, I know you aren't mine.

here we are again tonight, what's dead may never die,
Holding me until I stop crying, holding me when we're happy,
I know you love me too, just not the way I love you.
Anyway, I feel sorry for us, particularly for me,
but stay with me, I don't want you to leave.
Wondering why aren't you mine after all these years and time.
Guess I like you best when you make that face and look at me,
guess I like you best when you're jealous of someone I don't even acknowledge,
