The darkness
Surrounded me
Clouds rolled in
Warning me
Then in
the midst
Of the downpour
I knew
If I didn't
Embrace this storm
I would
Never be
Able to move
Forward
My heart was found guilty
Of witchcraft by my brain
He dragged her and beat her
Spewed his hatred for her
Tied her to a wooden stake

My brain couldn't comprehend
The magic of my heart
Why she never wavered
How she always loved
He started this persecution
Because he couldn't understand

I always felt her growing
Beautifully and powerfully
With every beat she won me over
All I did was want to protect her
But my brain called it heresy

My punishment was to watch
As he burned her alive
I heard the shrieks of hope die
The smell of her love stung
My nostrils and it haunts me still

I walk around pretending
As if nothing had ever happened
My brain condemned me to live
This life without my heart
Without the love and only
With the memory of that night

Every day I burn like she did
As every day I hate like he did
I was unable to convince him
That she just wanted to love
But my brain was too afraid
Of the powers of my heart

Antes que salga el sol
No, me digas que a llegado el momento
De decir adios
Por favor

Todo lo que quiero es el silencio
Tantas cosas que tenemos que aprender
Mas que este dolor
Por hoy
Es el momento

Pero antes de perderte
Lo último que te pido
Es que por favor no me olvides

Abrazame porque es lo unico
Que pidio
Abrazame por la ultima vez
Porque si ves
Ya no queda nada
Mas que silencio
De este momento
Y memoria's
Asi que abrazame
Trying my best to start writing in spanish:)

The way you carry yourself is an art
Minimal clean and full of bravado
And as we walk through department store hell
I think I'm beginning to see you past first impression nausea
Past the want of my own skin
Last weekend came as fresh snow red wine and attitude
And though the roads were slick I couldn't keep my mind off of you
Grey green boy
Your scent lingers still even if you only stayed for an hour
I can feel you laughing in my ear light and warm
You quote song lyrics and smirk while the pastor drones on
I can feel you
even through the wall between our seats
I can feel you
And I wonder if you feel me too or if it's just another sort of sickness that comes with an overly romantic mind and a restless eye
Grey green boy I wanted you before you were mine
That is to say,
If you're ever mine
So for now you are art and I observe you
Through the museums of the millennial
Windows left open late at night
Longing is a mess.
Thoughts I will no doubt delete by next week
am I unique? fear not, she says, for
no one breathes pine needles the way you do and
no one bleeds stars the way you do and
no one, no one whispers of scarlet mornings
the way you do.

but what, then, does it mean
to be here? is it your voice
dancing in my dream last night? is it
the way our fingertips speak of
quartz, of ink? is it the icicle
antlers we planted this morning? is
it the soft scratch of birch bark? of
outside? is it the emptiness
that defines us?

all of this and more: I cherish
these sunlit midnights,
the memories of broken
storm.

I wrote this
I note this
So, I can notice
That I poked this
Was because I choked with this

So, I poked this
Was to get this feelin' out my chest
And yes
I'm gettin' addicted to the pills
But still
I need to get the chills

So, I don't feel this demon
Screamin'
Of course it's getting worst
Like a curse

So, again I find myself in the kitchen
Poppin' pills again my bloodline has it written

Gettin' addicted
And all I feel is twisted
Again I listen
To the echoes
Who knows
My errors

The mirrors
Are flashin' back my fears
And my peers
Tears

Yeah, agian I will
Take another pill
Unit
I get the chills
Cuz I love the way it feels
So, keep it real

And now I'm lookin' at my spot
Full of thoughts

My eyes are now close
And my brain is replaying the video's
Of my life

As I feel someone shaking me
Tell disagreeing
That I'm dead

I open my eyes
And realize
That those pills took my breath
And I was almost close to death
Just a poem that I thought that I had to write.

When I woke up
I was broken when I knew that you weren't forever
Baby, don't ever feel
Bad cuz I know that our relationship wasn't real

Maybe like you said it was just a deal
So, don't go around
And fall back to the ground
Cuz this wasn't for real

Gray
Days has passed by
Since the day
We wave goodbye

Now another week
Has passed by
Can't believe

When I woke up
I was hook up
When I saw that you spoke up
Yeah, you could see that I was choke up
As you stood there

Now here
We are
Our love grew so, far
That I even call it forever

Baby, hold me closer
Cuz I don't ever
Want to lose you
Cuz without you I know I wouldn't have any clue

Baby, you are my glue
When my heart was broken
You took a moment
To focus
Yeah, and as I noticed
That you were the one
That had won
My heart

You are my purpose
Why always feel nervous
Cuz you're the only person
That makes me feel ready to face all the surface
Boy you got me here with you forever

Can't explain the way I feel
It's like I'm not sure if this is for real
Cuz I just want be clear
Oh, my dear
I'm afraid of getting broken
Cuz I'm opening up my emotions

Don't even know how you turn my darkness
Into the light
Now I can see everything bright
Is funny how I never believed in fairytales
I promise you I will not fail
Cuz I don't want to lose some like you

Maybe I'm just afraid of thrusting
Or maybe I'm just afraid that you and I are something
Then it may turn to nothing

Yeah, I'm afraid of falling

Siento la lucha de no perderte y el conformismo de tenerte...
siento el frío de tu ausencia y la calidez de tu recuerdo...
siento la pena de no verte y la alegría de extrañarte...
siento cerca tu lejanía... tan cerca, que puedo respirarte…
siento, que puedo tocarte por siempre con tan solo imaginarte...
y eso amor es mi paz… eres tu..!
