Never-ending brown

Have you ever loved someone
who does not know the meaning of love?

Have you ever given your heart away
not knowing if you will find a cure for the heartache?
Have you ever given away your world
just to be a minuscule part of someone else’s dream?

Or given away your past
in exchange for your future?

You will.

When I looked into your fiery ocean eyes,
I gave away my everything
just to be a part of your nothing.

Found in translation

i dreamt of you late last night.

you were in an abandoned house

dark and lonely, with no  hope to keep you company.

your eyes lit up suddenly, as i walked in

you smiled and opened your arms

you were glad to have some warmth walk in.

only later did you realise

that i am a part of the shadows, and not the light.

i am a part of the cold, and not the heat.

i am a part of heart-wrenching pain,

and not of blissful happiness.

and when i awoke from my dream, 

laying safe in your arms, 

i had to smile in sad realisation,

you can save me from my reality,

but how will you rescue me from my dreams?

For better or worse

The best thing about a promise
is the infinite hope it brings.
The worst thing about a promise, though
is the infinite hope it promised.

Just as words are meant to be savoured and forgotten,
Promises are meant to be made and forgotten.

Your promise to hold me forever
still keeps me warm.
even through the coldest night.

Your promise to love me
keeps me from loving anyone else.

After parting

When the fire has died down
and the heat has consumed us,
and all that's left is smoke and ashes,
We will realise how the time played us for fools.

For we don't recognize today
what we are going to lose tomorrow.

Run away.
Pack your precious possessions and leave now
The storm has risen in my heart
And it will destroy us both.
Leave now, as fast as you can.

Because we never protect today
what we might lose tomorrow.

Until boredom

And when you turn around
and stare at me, in disbelief,
amazed at how ruthless I can be,

I shall remind you of your carelessness,
of your arrogance and your stubborn lips,
as they so casually proclaimed,
"I love you".

How dare you!

How dare you mistake worship for love!
