Still it remains closed
A prison with bars around
No voice
No courage
Just eyes
Waiting
For what
Calm
Hysteric
Suicidal
What does it matter
Who cares
Really
Who cares…

What does it sound like?
Let me hear the silence
Listen with my eyes
Wonder every movement
The sound of a suprise
When a balloon pops
A fork across a plate
Thump on the table
Correcting a mistake
Sadness
What is this feeling
Why does it tiptoe into my mind every night
On the pillow cushioning my head
As the gravity pulls me in
Conscience becomes so apparent
As if to say I’m here
Like that one night stand you regret
When your bed is smaller
Pushing against you
Spooning you
No is not a response
You have to accept it
Sadness won’t leave you alone
Sadness is home
It is here to stay
My beautiful dahlia
My beautiful dahlia
How I have longed to see you
Your vibrant red
Pulsing through
How I wait patiently
For you to bloom
As you take your sunlight
Through and through
Only a couple more days
As you make your final burst
Dahlia of springtime
To see the very first
Be free
Please forgive me
My judgement
My actions
Darkness weighs me down
As my conscience suffocates my every breath
As the bird tries to escape
From where it was once happy
Pecking it’s limbs
Freedom given up
But at what cost
Self esteem worth nothing
As if water leaving the drain
The heavy rain showering the shame
As bliss never was
Tears of wanting
Acceptance
Love
Why search for something
That seems to be a myth
Maybe just an idea
In the ideal world
Get on that swing
If you come down to the woods today
You are gonna die
If you get on that swing today
You’re gonna have a surprise
Us ghouls and ghosts
Are having a toast
Torture and torment
We love the most
So come with us
Don’t be a puss
And dare
To be afraid
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Computer says hello
Hey you
Tap tap tap
What ya doing
Incognito
Very smart
She won’t know
What’s your life like
Why do you sit there
What are you thinking about
What have you been doing today
Why do you sit so close
You should get your eyes checked
I wish I had your life
Come closer
Do you like what you see
Come on touch me
Come on
A little bit closer
That’s it
Oh your body is weird
Thank you
Enjoy your prison
Shut down

Swim swim swim
Swim swim swim
Big fish in the sea
Swim swim swim
As free as can be
Yum yum yum
As I see some nice food
Yum yum yum
Oh it’s so good
Ow ow ow
As I feel a sharp pain
Ow ow ow
As I feel it again
Oh oh oh
I can’t breath, I can’t breath
Oh oh oh
Hey, not so rough please
Thud thud thud
As I land on the floor
Thud thud thud
As I struggle some more
Gasp gasp gasp
As I gasp for air
Gasp gasp gasp
I feel such despair

If it has to be an eternity
Waiting hundreds of years
To see you again
Forbidden to see you
My one and only friend
Honor forsaken
As I travel the afterlife
What happened to you
I ask only why
If it has to be an eternity
There will always be hope
If I never see you again
My spirit will not be broke

A gesture in gold
How it’s nice
To think of others
To take the time
To really bother
Not just for you
For the other soul’s sake
Not to judge
Or to forsake
Even just to listen
To a story told
To show them you care
A gesture in gold
