There was one thing you said to me
That stuck in my mind
I don’t remember your profile
But I remember your eyes

Feeling whole again
Upon kissing your lips you made me feel whole again
Just talking to me feeling as if you’re a friend
To feel good in myself to appreciate life once more
To feel wanted, not just nothing for ever more
To look into your eyes appreciating you there
To run my fingers through your long hair
To clasp your face with my fingers and thumb
To melt in your regard to go all numb
To glide my fingers over your palm
To trace your freckles feeling so calm
To count each time our lips touch for every kiss
To float as if in heaven in a cloud of bliss
To our final goodbye missing one thing
Holding you in my arms till the birds sing
I sit alone on this chair
I sit alone on this chair
Do you see me, do you see me?
I sit alone on this chair
Do you hear me, do you hear me?
Do I exist in real life?
Does my suffering count?
Do I exist in real life?
Can you hear me shout?
Why do you just walk by?
Why do you let me cry?
Why do you not care?
Why do you just stare?
Imperfect is perfect
I love hearing them laugh
It makes it a little easier
When life is just so meh
It gets me through the day
My obstacles are all made by my hands
My mind tells my mind you cannot
Why do we hit self destruct?
In a normal day I have to make everything impossible
But upon reflection and taking a step back to look through the fish bowl
I see it doesn’t matter
If I don’t have someone for the right reasons
Why should you force yourself?
Ideal is ideal
But it’s improbable
Life is too short for this
I’m gonna be imperfect
I’m better that way
Because imperfect is perfect
Dating is as bad as job searching
Oh the dating world
Back to the first square
As a 40 year with 2 kids
The joy to be looking again
Never have I felt so judged
To be an outsider
I took my nationality off you know
Every little helps
Feels almost dishonest
Well, at least I’m not a killer
Yet
Got to date one first
That’s a long way off
And let’s face it
A catch I am not
It feels like my job searching again
Breathe with your patience
It’s a strange feeling when everything slips between your hands
You question every decision taken wondering if it was ever the plan
Misreading signals it seems at every turn
As if the scorching rod was ever primed to burn
You go back to your past and think about your mistakes
Cursing yourself for every time you should forsake
Maybe it’s better, it has to be for a reason
Otherwise you have just committed treason
Being so hard on yourself with so much time to think
Is the worst thing you could want, pushing yourself to the brink
Even alcohol numbs it, but that’s only temporary
It’s not even a solution, just a stupid hail Mary
Take your mind off things, that one fucking thing
That’s feeding away on you like a terrible sin
Change, get help, do something, God
Breathe with your patience, that’s all that you’ve got
Final bow
Numb that pain
Numb this shame
Never wanted
To lose the way
The light went out
Can’t hear the shouts
Eyes unopen
Wander astray
Chasm deep
To final sleep
Can finally rest
Escape the test
No will to go on
Same old song
Eerily deep
Enveloping sleep
Fade away
No more play
Whisper now
Final bow
Perfect love
I can’t be with you today
But I think about you all the time
I wish I could be with you
Recite words that rhyme
.
To look into your eyes
Lose myself within
Feel so warm inside
As you let me in
.
To whisper in your ear
Words that make you melt
I will give you all my love
Love you never felt
.
I just want to protect you
Hold you in my arms
To smell your golden hair
Forever in your charm
.
When I finally have you
I will never let you go
When you have perfect love
That is all you should know
Much better a new one
Why is he better?
Better than me?
What has he got?
That makes you happy?
I can’t understand
Is it his youth?
Am I just getting
Too old I’m the tooth
Am I just ugly
So unappealing and plain
Do my jokes
Drive you insane?
We smile so much
But we never touch
Him smiling at you
Just boils my blood
But you’re not mine
I keep telling myself
As I put myself
Back on the shelf
To gather more dust
Onlookers fade away
I’m less attractive now
Less fun to play
Who likes damaged books?
Hard to always repair
Much better a new one
Much less despair
.
I know it’s not love
I know it’s not love
But I loved you
I loved you unconditionally
I loved every single thing about you
.
I loved your eyes
I loved your smile
I loved your spirit
I loved your soul
.
You had my heart the first moment our gazes met
You had my smile every morning we crossed paths
You had my spirit just being in your presence
You had my soul the first moment we talked
.
Now I wipe tears from my eyes
Now I love you but I don’t
Now I just want to sleep
Now I don’t want to be here anymore
.
