GhostThe dream shatters around me
Like a broken mirror.

Looking at the wreckage,
My reflection unrecognizable.

A broken image.
A broken heart.

I'm cut by the shards
As I try to piece it back together.

My blood sprinkles the surface
Like a red rain.

The mirror is whole again.
What's left of the dream.

I look at my reflection,
And tears finally begin to fall.
Your Life's A StageLife is comparable to a book
Which would make today a page
Don't dream of the drama unfolding
Act it out upon the stage

If the stage is your lonely room
And the theatre is your home
Then why not be the protagonist
Heroes never die alone

If you are treading those boards tonight
Then be careful how you go
Show the world and open your mind
To learn things that remain unknown

And if you are the director
Make sure the cast know their lines
If their actions stray away from the plot
Then cast them out of your life

If you are seeking attention
Awaiting ovation from the stalls
Be sure to do something worthy
Before the last curtain
The Intelligent Are So SadA cascade of words parade around,
with thoughts of atoms and connotation.
She is brilliant, they say,
but she knows she is lost.

Numbers are her companion,
she understands their mean, average.
Words can twist her brain,
she loves the wonder they bring.

She is intelligent, they say,
but sometimes,
she doesn't feel clever enough.
Sometimes she feels clever too much.

Excusez-moi, in perfect French,
but nothing is gained by perfect word tense.
She is clever, they say.
But she is not clever the way they know.

She sees things as they are,
and she prefers her thoughts to the world.
She knows she loves them more than they in return
Cover It With InkI will not break another person in my life
Those who I have broken I will fix
I'm done with this thought that I'm nothing
Cause I'm something that no one will never be

I'm done crying myself to sleep
I will laugh at the thought
I will never pick that blade up again
Cause if I will cut something it will be paper

I will cut paper
With my pen
I will write my emotions
And I will not hide

I'm not evil
I will cut my paper
I will use my deadly weapon
I feel bad for the item I'm covering in ink

I know how it feels to be covered
I know how it feels to be cornered
I will not take any pills
This is my medication

I will learn

WillowYour confessional arms are Willow trees,

draping lonely limbs around an empty ink-jar heart.
 
Scars worn down like henna tattoos.

A night witch scrawling her incantations on blue moons,

rolling her letters into sentences like a curse.

But, it is in these coffee eyes you have found a home.
Aren't You Ashamed Yet?Aren't You Ashamed Yet?:

A Mask
Truly an object of mystique and mystery
A simple device, with a painted layer
That conceals a face of rotting worms

Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to overlook it?
Let me rephrase it in a more appropriate manner
You are a cowardly, pathetic, miserable, filthy
Unintelligent, soul-sucking, perfidious, bag of rotting worms

You who once held my respect, you who were once my friend
you shared in my secrets and you shared in my dreams
But in the end, it was the lies
The horrible, filthy lies that spew forth from your tainted lips...

I guess it was a simple decision
I had no need to keep up this facade

Songbirds"Songbirds"

In the summer I grow rather fond

Of watching the swans hover over sea

And often wonder what it would be

Like if they could be like me.

Rather, I wonder if I could grow wings

And soar above the stores and malls

Gliding between buildings

And downtown city hall.

To be like a bird

To have such freedom

Does that sound absurd

To fly towards a kingdom?

I'd fly south for the winter

Avoiding the cold in the city

Because snow stings like splinters

Leaving marks not very pretty.

I'd leave colors in the sky

And into the burning sun

But not before I die

Or not to be outdone

I'd perform circles in the air

Spreading my wing
Shadow Sun
Shadow Sun

And in that very moment, I knew it was already too late
My   vision   has   adjusted
The memories of my former life all just slipped away
My   light   has   faded

The last of the fallen sparks fluttered in the distance
My   hope   has   been   obliterated
The shadows rose to claim their long awaited radiance
My   destiny   was    always   fated

In my heart, I lost it all
To this very second, it's still my fa
FEARFEAR:

Frantically he scrambles away from the dark
Eager to be free of his waking nightmare
Acting only upon the instinct within him;
Reminded constantly that he is prey

For some time he hides in the pervasive shadows—
Earnestly praying that he will not be discovered
A single sound is all it takes to jar him;
Running from a creature that he can barely see

From head to toe it is certainly monstrous
Enshrouded in an aura of absolute repugnance
As the acid drips from its cruel jaws,
Rapidly dissolving the ground below

Fearful, he cowers, beneath boxes and cardboard,
Escaping away into a tiny corner of his mind
Alone with only
Shove Me"Shove Me"

A little bird often sings outside my window
Lonely as sin he made a nest above the snow
With his delicate singing I smile as wide as I can
Still it doesn't help me forget the terrible person I am
Songs so soft and pleasant to the ear
Songs that would wash away anyone's fears
Songs as beautiful as the evening rain
Songs that have hidden messages of peace contained
Yet vultures and crows feast on birds of his kind
Perhaps its fate our lives have intertwined
Because just when everything to this bird starts making sense
The eagles come and sweep away his self confidence
Yet a bird so strong still needs to learn to fly

TaleSomething
Inside it.
The trees and the air.
Something
That haunts me.
My monsters are there.

  'It comes'
     'It's here'
'It hears'
'You fear'

Beasts
out of shadows.
Their hearts pumping ink.
Skins
coal-polluted.
With eyes that can't blink.

        'It's teeth'
  'It's hand'
               'My fear'

Witches
and Demons.
Where all born to grow.
Bandits
and Liars.
And I never know.

            'a chill'
'to bone'

Deep
in the forest
Where light non arrive.
There
in the forest.
Where dreams are alive.

'No hood'

                  'no gun'
     'no shed'

looking always.

DoubtsI failed and tried so hard in vain
To keep you safe from hurt and pain
My promise to put myself in harm's way
For you was twisted right around that day
I was too weak to keep it right
I was too weak and did not fight

Now you left and how could you not
When suffering is all you've got
A hunt breaks loose, a pursuit out of love
Your chasers don't see you run above
All from the love they want to show
While you seek just loneliness now

Can I dare to help you again
When I brought you nothing but pain
Will they understand why I hold them back
Or simply think love for you I do lack?
I want to help you but don't dare
Since all might
Exiled Together"Exiled Together"

He slept with both eyes open

As the maiden near him cried

Under covers tightly woven

They knew tomorrow would be goodbye

He gave her all he had

But soon she'd have to go

Leaving him very sad

And possibly quite alone

She could have been pelted

By stones from those arms

Who would rather see her swelter

Under fire by a barn

Every time they tried

To torture her to death

This man would come around

And defend her one last breath

But now she would be cast

Into the morning's rising sun

I can't say I know for sure

What exactly she had done

Was she deemed a witch?

A fugitive? A traitor?

Was she the town's snitch
MyiagrosYou went quietly
Like granite with finesse
Days and nights
The come down monster

I had a drink
Six, seven, eight more
Always and sometimes
Completely nothing

The weeks of illness
Before it pulled your eyes shut
No small talk
Just plain, empty time

I walked to the store for smokes
Struggled not to howl
There was fly paper nailed to the register
Legs still moving

And I knew what they were buzzing for
Hell had found you first

If I could get out of my head If I could get out of my head

your smile and the warmth of your eyes

when they meet mine, I could

think clearly for a minute,

my indestructible soldier from the north...
Se riuscissi a togliermi dalla testaSe riuscissi a togliermi dalla testa

il tuo sorriso, ed il calore dei tuoi occhi

quando incontrano i miei, riuscirei

a pensare con lucidità per un minuto,

mio indistruttibile soldato del nord...
What am I doingWhat am I doing seated here

to waste all my afternoon

listening stupid love songs

while others live their lifes

leaving me alone, forgotten...
Che cosa sto facendoChe cosa sto facendo, seduta qui

a sprecare tutto il pomeriggio

ascoltando canzoni d'amore

mentre gli altri vivono

la propria vita a tutta velocità

lasciandomi indietro, dimenticata...

Castles in the air

:iconsilviamarti:

Even the fools daydream...


That something could go on well,

oh, for a single time

they build castles in the air,

daring to hope, dream

to find a temporary haven of peace

to escape to during the winter

and dream of spring...
:iconsilviamarti:
:rose: «I DON’T WANNA BE A PARTICULAR CASE, I’D JUST LIKE TO RUNAWAY FROM MYSELF TO NOT RETURN ANY MORE!» :rose:

If secretly you’ve ever thought something similar to this, my new piece’s dedicated to you.

I am, indeed, a fool who dreams that something could go on well for just one time...
