Let's go
Marie-Lyne Jan 2017
let's go there where the road is hard
but you’re happy and that's enough
let's open up
let's be free
let us show our soul to the world
let's make things that eliminate  our tensions
let us write to express ourselves
let us run in the wild
let us contemplate nature
let us listen to the sound of the wind
let's go where nothing is usual
where everything is new
where we finally find ourselves
where we’re not shy
where we can say everything
and act as children
and talk like grownups
and think like our grandparents
let's talk about death , about life
about the conscience
about the human behaviour
about sexuality
about kids
about adults
let's sit on the floor
and read books
and listen to loud music
let's tell each other all our secrets
our childish fears
our simplest pleasures
about what makes us happy and sad
i want to take a walk around the world
to see the sun above me
and the sea behind me
let me stare at strange faces
and let me guess about what they’re thinking of
let me hide in a house in a forest
where no one knows me
and i don’t even know myself yet
let me take your hand
and we will face this together
nothing will stop us
and nothing will makes us sad
we have detached ourselves from worries and regrets
we have learned to be thankful
to always believe in a greater power
to know that our road is simple and complicated
to know that the truth is always hidden in the deepest seas
and that lies float at the bottom of the oceans
i want to listen to unknown songs
to read books that people never knew existed
to get to know someone who is talented but not famous
to visit houses
and see what they keep in their bedrooms
what is their vision of life
how they see themselves
i want memories that keep me alive
i want a world that understands
i want people to feel me
to know me
to get to know me
not because i’m special
but because simply i’m like the others

If only
Marie-Lyne May 2017
If only our story ended there
If only we didn’t talk
If only distance wasn’t our main problem
If only what we had was real
If only you gave me more attention
If only we stayed friends
If only we didn’t tell our feelings
If only

Maybe we weren’t meant to meet
maybe we didn’t know how to love
maybe we were too shy
maybe all of this was just a fantasy

Twins

You cannot love someone else
Unless you start to love yourself

You will never be able to love someone
If you don’t love yourself

Le spectacle
Marie-Lyne Nov 2021
When family reunites
They are supposed to talk about their needs
What bothers them
What make them suffer
It’s not a spectacle
Where you only talk about the positive things
Just to show that you’re strong
Stop acting
It’s not a tv show
Marie-Lyne May 2017
I will never be your morning coffee that you take everyday
I will never be the same ride that you take everyday to go to work
I will never be the same jacket that you wear when it’s finally autumn
I will never be the same cover that you have on you phone for years
I will never resemble your favourite quotes from a book
I will never be the same meal that you order everytime you go to Mcdonalds
I will never be the same shirt that you wear to watch concerts
I will never let you think that i know you better than you know yourself
I will never fully understand you
I will never say things that i don’t mean

On the contrary
I will tell you everything
But what if you hated someone that is too different from the others
What if you loved the same stuff that people do when they’re in love
What if we became an expectation
But that’s the thing you adored to act like the others
You never felt like you should think differently
and maybe now things are beginning to find their way
Maybe our road is meeting
But trust me there are things that we will always argue about
We don’t like the same things
and we don’t expect the same thing from life
I’m different I know I am
227 · Jan 2022
I’m back
Marie-Lyne Jan 2022
It feels good to be home again
In our comfort zone
In our bed
In our space

me
help me
become better
help me
i am fragile as ****
i feel useless
and unwanted
help me
let me talk
i wanna speak about my deepest fears
what makes me wake up in the morning
That strength that i’m given to get up
leave my bed and start a new day
help me organize my thoughts
help me get rid of my unwanted feelings
help me help me
my weakness is growing
and i am trying to destroy it before it destroys me
and i’m left empty on the floor of my bedroom
let me cry hysterically
i need this once in a while
help me stop missing people that aren’t in my life anymore
help me even if i don’t ask you to do it
help me dear whoever you are

Belonging
Marie-Lyne Feb 2022
It will happen to you
one day
out of nowhere
after a long day
You go back home
you take a shower
you start to prepare dinner
and then suddenly
you look outside
The fresh air visits you
You close your eyes
You feel a divine serenity
and your mind starts playing
all the events from your youth
Comme back child, here is your home
you are welcome
you are loved
Carry on even if fear lives in your heart
Marie-Lyne Dec 2017
I am not like the others
My skin is made of a
thousand dreams that needed more tourists
and my eyes are poetic places
My hands have caressed  
the pages of many old books
and my nose will always recognize the
scent of the people that I love
I have tasted the flavor of
new beginnings
But my ears were never able
to hear the sound of your voice
My feet have touched the
sand of your imagination
But my hair couldn't
bear the heavy winds
coming from your stormy mind
My arms couldn't
embrace your sweetness
But my teeth were made
to mash these dark thoughts
of yours and transform them into tiny ones

You don't even know how much you helped

Stop hiding

Stop hiding

heartbreak hotel
Marie-Lyne Dec 2017
Just like french songs
that simplicity
and that purity
I wanted to be the girl that broke the singer's heart
I wanted to be a song
with few lyrics
and a ton of emotions

Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
We are humans
constantly afraid
of judgment
commitment
and people
not loving
us back

Leave
everything
that
lacks
love

We are not here
to be serious
but to enjoy
this life
as weird as it gets

We are here to fight
the bad feelings
that accompany us
everyday when we wake up
from deep sleeps

We are here to listen
and talk
to have a soul that
corresponds to our physical
appearance

Don’t abandon
what makes you
feel

To be able to
see someone after
a long time
is a blessing
and a real miracle

Marie-Lyne Jul 2019
I don’t care
Who do you think of
When you wake up
First thing in the morning
Tell me who’s the person
That you pray for
Every night
Before you go to sleep
Pray sleep night

How would you do it?
Marie-Lyne Dec 2018
Should we interpret it
Or just accept it as it is
Should we indulge in endless explanations
Or sit in silence
What is the most adequate response
To problems
Complications
Fights

Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
You grow up
when you don't get
sad when something
is bothering you
You just accept it
You even smile
Like there's a voice inside you
more powerful than
the other
Whatever happens
Think of it
as a good thing
And you'll always
feel comfortable
Trust me

Hello, 2022
Marie-Lyne Jan 2022
I am grateful for the little things that pass by as mundane and unimportant
I am grateful for my family that strengthens me
everytime I want to give up
I am grateful for routines that organize my life
I am grateful for everything that makes life boring
I am grateful for my negative and bad days
I am grateful for the snow and the fresh air
I am grateful for my soul for never leaving my body
2022, I believe you’ll make feel more grateful

Our parents
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
will we ever get rid of our rituals?
can we stop making connections
creating meanings
of the smallest things
can we stop blaming our parents
maybe they aren’t complete
but they took care of us
when we were too small
too naive
and too young
they loved us
more than everything
the love you have for your parents can’t be replaced
that pure love
that divine love
isn’t found in relationships nor marriages
we lost it
and thats okay
you know we are humans
we destroy things
we create chaos
we complicate our daily life

A lazy afternoon
Marie-Lyne Jul 2021
I always feel the need to go out
To walk aimlessly in streets I never visited
To explore new spaces
To meet the faces of strangers
To stare at artistic buildings
To enter random bookstores
and pick up coffee on the way home
Marie-Lyne Jun 2021
The one going through a break-up
The people who stopped talking to someone
They used to care about
Do not let them in again
No matter how many times they said they are sorry
Stop giving them the permission
To try again
Don’t let them disrespect you
Move on
Move on
Stop thinking about them
Stop allowing them a space in your heart
And in your mind
Believe in yourself
You deserve better
You are more
Than this relationship
You can be disappointed
But still choose
To move on
You can compare it to a failure
But you can still move on
It can hurt
But you can still move on
