adieu

today you came.

but this day is also your departure.

To your eighteen years, and for all the years: I hope you’re happy.

Happy birthday Edel John.

remember. forget

remember my name. forget that i ever loved you.
remember my face. forget the letter i wrote you.
just remember who i am, and i’ll forget that you were once a part of me.

star

A star so far and wide

Too great for men to reach

Have I a right to make it mine

Or do I wait for its descent to me?

I felt my heart break

All shattered to pieces once again

The burden of the tears I shed

Is  too much to comprehend

How can I go back to live

If my soul no longer exists?

What purpose is the light from above

If all along I have lived in the abyss?

Fairy tales and happy endings

Are mere excuses and lies

Life is not always jolly and smooth

Behind the pain is where reality hides

I’ve fettered my heart too many times

Now I hold back once more

What use are my silly rhymes

If what I’ve given will never be returned?

him

I love thee through and through

Though waves now twist and turn

My heart and soul remains still true

The fire will linger and burn

Give me your hand now

Comfort me with a smile

At your slightest touch,

I feel so light

 

I’m dying to be loved

I’m dying to be born again

When will I get out,

And taste sweet old victory?

 

I just want to escape

From this barren prison cell

Hold me in your eyes again

Break my tortured soul free
