Fall
1.In the midst of winter
My heart became a snowflake,
And it touched the ground
With the force of an earthquake.
2.At the dawn of spring
It slipped into a river,
And melted away,
Too cold to even shiver.
3.In the midst of summer
Things will be set free,
But the wait is too long,
I won’t be here to see.
Bad joke
1.My life is in ruins,
I ruined it myself,
Like an ancient writing
Turns to dust when on its shelf.
2.I didn’t ask for one,
But can we have two, please?
One for entertainment,
One for falling on your knees.
3.When did it become this?
When did it fall apart,
A silent domino
Aiming straight at my heart.
4.My life is a bad joke,
I stumble in my dreams
And when I look around
It’s just me not laughing.Running out
1.I’m running out of patience,
You’re running out of time,
At least where I am at now
I don’t count every dime.
2.I’m running out of feelings,
You’re running out of soul,
Somehow your broken pieces
Don’t add to make a whole.
3.I’m running out that door now,
Out of ways to look sad,
What can I say, man up girl,
The pain lies in your head.
4.What is the last thing you see
When you look at the sky?
They say forgiveness tastes sweet,
But revenge makes you high.
Dissonance
1.Is it really tragedy,
This darkness embracing me?
This cognitive dissonance
Is a God damn nuisance.
2.Is it all really that bad?
Or is it just in my head,
Things taken too seriously,
Or a harsh reality?
3.A flesh wound, or just a scratch,
Missing eye, or just a patch?
Everyone says I’m lucky,
All I feel is misery.
4.Only the passing of time
Can put an end to my mind,
This cognitive dissonance
Is my deepest nuisance.Never ever
1.I will never ever talk
About clouds having a walk,
I will never ever try
To make my dull phrases fly.
2.I will always want to sing
Of all things which burn and sting,
And nothing can make me stay
When I want to go away.
3.I will always want to write
About how white-haired boys fight,
And nothing can dim my light,
Not the cold and not the night.
4.I will never ever toil,
Die on someone else’s soil,
You will never ever see
Someone who cares less than me.
Emigrant song
1.Escape from local misery into another misery,
What’s the use?
The grass isn’t always greener the streets aren’t any cleaner,
Tell the truth.
2.Escape from a small salary into a lavish gallery,
Ain’t in strange?
From a smaller uncertainty into a fake stability,
Why the change.
3.You run away from a problem, but honey, it is you, not them,
What’s the deal?
Unless you’re running after gold instead of sleeping in the cold,
You won’t heal.
4.And maybe it will all end well,’cause really who am I to tell
Of your dreams,
It’s a pity to go amiss without knowing that nothing is
What it seems.Too late
1.Why the heck do you bother?
We don’t care for each other.
Why the heck does this shake you?
Your child’s tears couldn’t break you.
2.Why the heck do you judge me?
You were deaf, I was hungry.
When you are down with fever,
I won’t care if you shiver.
3.Why can’t we just stay blissful?
Ignorant, smiling, peaceful,
Never bring up the falsehood
Of the little things we could.
4.Why the heck do you bother?
I won’t change for an other,
And while your heart is aching,
I write poetry naked.
