ME: Pulling the heaven down



Do you hear the sound
of me pulling the heaven down?
Do you see the clouds
coming closer?
It’s the only way to
be among the angles
if I don’t have you!
If you run away from me,
all the clouds above
will come crashing down
upon what’s left of me -
trying to find heaven
without you!

ME: A show



Tie me to a tree
and cut me,
call the wolves
and watch them feast!
For what is worth
it’ll be grotesque
and I know quite well
you’d like the show!

ME: I'm here



More in my face
than is my taste,
but I cannot run,
can’t lead my own way.

I can’t rewrite the play,
cannot delete the act,
can only drown
in the desert of your eyes,
wither in the tears
and choke in sobs.

I was quick to love
and to hate was even quicker.
Did not forgive
let to forget,
did not beg,
did not apologize.

Sang all the songs I knew
in a night.
Said all the words I wanted
in a day.
Killed all the dreams I had
at once…

A place in heaven
I won’t find…

A place in hell
I don’t deserve…

So I’ll wait around,
don’t look for me,
for my faith to be served.

ME: The song after I die



Even my pain will die
one day, when I’m gone too…
Even my tears will dry
one day, when there’s no more of you…
Even my sobbing will cease
one day, when my throat’s forever mute…

But my lines will remain,
if you don’t burn them with me –
they will rankle in your eyes
and your heart they will char,
in your ears - like church bells they’ll toll -
for they will be someone else’s song when I die.
