Cutting the strings
one by one
to detach myself
from you.
Cutting the strings
one by one
to detach myself
from you.
Numb
pressing keys with my thumb
the endless melody
to this twisted symphony
Blissful nothingness is a blessing.
I almost lost him.
Between hidden emotions and loaded words.
Deciphering the mess of what we had become, what we felt, and what we wanted.
Like finding life again, beneath an avalanche –
we had to dig ourselves out again
before we could take a breath.
Breathe out.
Close your eyes.
Breathe in.
Open you heart.
Constant pressure to be more.
Constant pressure to be better than before.
I sit next to you, in bed
curled into the crevice where your arm meets your neck
here I softly lay my head.
We lay together softly
gently
watching the film, watching each other.
Softly, gently kissing
softly, gently living
with soft lips
and gentle hearts.
I’m afraid to touch,
afraid to see
afraid to be
who you want me to be.
This is all too much
so I will flee
afraid to be
who you wanted to see.
Why do we fight,
when we say that we care?
Is it simply fright,
that our love is not there?
I write these words
to leave my print
on the world.
