01. One Hand That’s Open Lights out. Your going blind. through the dark. I thought, I’d be the one to take you by the hand and through whatever, whenever with you in there, but you let go… Now, to find my own way out since the path was narrow and you didn’t wanna, didn’t wanna wear me down. You said ‘’I can’t give everything you deserve’’ but i just wanted that hand to return. I just want what you can give. It doesn’t matter what it is. What matters now that you go in there and come back out again as who you where before you went in. I thought ‘’We’re wasting time apart by being away from each other.’’ You made me stronger, broke my fall when i couldn’t get slow. It’s the hardest thing, that i might never see you again. The mind’s such a dark and despicable place in which we are trapped with ourselves to save. 8 februari 2016 02:24 // - Inatt så faller jag ihop i dina armar. I alla år som vi har letat efter varandra så finner det oss ändå hur hårt vi än försöker. Vårt öde är en brand anlagd. Inatt så ger jag upp, självantänds där du andas. Bränner ner de städer vi givit form till förutbestämd aska. Hur ska jag förklara saknad? När kniven först går igenom ryggen för att sen gå igenom hjärtat så vill jag att du ska veta att vi hade varandra, såsom paret vi var som bodde på Island. Jag kommer ihåg när du höll mig så jag inte kunde andas. Du sa: ‘’Det skulle aldrig finnas någon annan.’’ 14 april 2016 22:27

02: As The Other Closed I can’t find it. I’ve tried. I’ve failed. My guilt, my regrets been causing me to finally forfeit. ‘’Find us further, further down, dive after us. Leave earth behind. No trace, no sound.’’ ...with one hand that’s as open as your thoughts and mind, free. ...with one hand as the other …closed for good on me. You said ‘’Don’t ever stop being yourself.’’ but all i want is being someone else than someone else's Staring, petitioning the empty sky wondering what keeps us alive, from floating off the ground. You’re keeping me earthbound from floating off the ground, a pretty good anchor. Yet you stand there, eclipse each moment, bringing no calm to find i just want to feel close to you, a big fat pile where feelings go to die. // a big fat pile of ‘’I just want to feel.’’ 13 mars 2016 01:13 Today that I’m dancing under a black glass ceiling star i wish it didn’t bother me no more. 16 april 2016 20:17

03. Left Behind Along Persiusstr. //: The first one you let in will be the first one to go and the more you let in the more people you’ll hurt but someday we’ll be done. Someday, farewell’s soon and til’ then be patient, more people you’ll hurt. Worth while, biding time catching on what we lost left behind along Persiusst. Somewhere i read that; ‘’Berlin muss brennen’’ and thought it’s for me to begin again… Puncture my lungs when i try to breathe in underwater, making me incapable. Smother all other memories of us ever leaving to… Re-puncture my lungs. I’m done breathing. I can’t… get back up. Put your stones where your hands was and watch me learn to live… and let me learn to leave them. //: ‘’Ge mig inte hopp, det gör ju bara ont. Så mycket utav mig själv bara offrades, men du måste va dig själv.’’ 20 april 2016 20:34 Failure’s washing over me and i can’t seem to ever close my mouth. She cut me loose since she saw me leash on, ricochet her. Letdown’s washing over me and I can’t seam to ever close my mouth. She took my hand of hers to realize we’re like waterfalls. 4 april 2016 00:57

My heart has plate tectonics, teeth grinding against the surface. It won’t settle or be still, succumb city after city that i left to defend. I’m caught in a landmine spring smelling the field but no catharsis. My heart and I guess you know that I’m stuck with the fear that my life won’t begin. Either way we die here, I just don’t like the aesthetics … ‘’It’s not about if or not you want it.’’ My heart and I guess you know that what’s given can never come back. So won’t you just go and give it away. My heart was yours to never let loose and to give away. 16 mars 2016 17:04

//: When you go won’t you please go with me? I’ll make you my everything. When all is low, low, low I’ll be your reason, I’ll be your purpose. I’ll be, I’ll be, be your match to spread your fire in the skies and to do that you’ll need to put all indifference aside. I’ll be, I’ll be there to catch the hanging moon. It’s glow will single-handedly scorch your nerve endings, seize vision. When forever comes to crash and your legs snap before your arms take on to much. //: 28 mars 2016 02:19

//: Didn't I do the best i could? Didn't I do the best I could've? Baby, unfold my eyes enough. Did we ever do the best we could? This is all I ever had, all I ever wanted. Saving up on soul to share with someone else. Yesterday was the day but you couldn't and today I didn't find time for it but tomorrow is when I'll plan to plant the seed. Today. Right here is where I'll leave a trial for our former selves At that lake place, we'd hide where we said our goodbyes, is where I'll leave a trail, an apple tree in the wild. //: 16 maj 2016 18:18

06. ~ o ~ You’re a favorite, Sun. Bathing the color into us. Put a picture on the wall, there’s no difference between us and that city I recall as a stranger in my hometown. The years pass faster, understand I’ve been away for less than days. It hurts to see you in the glow, eating off your precious soul. 27 aug 2012 01:12
