Details

I love the details
The dents in the snow
Where the water dripped,
The gold rings in your eyes,
The snowflakes,
The branches,
The cracks.
I love the details,
The little things
No one notices,
But I do.
And you do.
We can see
The little details.
We can see.
We can see each other.
We can see our world.
We can observe,
We can watch,
We can find the details.

Colourless

Food has stopped tasting good.
Sleep has stopped feeling restful.
Music has stopped being appreciable.
Pain has stopped hurting.
Joy has stopped being enjoyable.
The time passes by unnoticed.
The people pass by unnoticed.
My head hurts.
My eyes hurt.
My mind hurts.
My ears hurt.
My mouth hurts.
Everything has become nothing to me.
The colour has faded away.
And I am colourless.
Colourless once again.
The rainbows have turned to black and grey.

Part of A Rainbow

Oh, the Rainbows,
"My head is all silent 'till you come and scream in it,"

The colours, the colours,
Burning into my eyes,
Engraved deep in my mind,
The combinations of the spectrum
So deeply inspiring
That it has finally become
Part of me.

I am a Rainbow. I am Rainbow.
Deny me not.

Your Paper

The leaves tumble down the path.
Whoosh, whoosh, they whisper.

The raindrops drip from the puffy clouds.
Drip, drip, they murmur.

The acorns fall from water-laden trees.
Plick, plock, they giggle.

The paper crumples as your fist tightens around it.
Crinkle, crackle, it groans.

The paper bounces down the path.
Tchak, tchak,
Now you're free.

Run

In my mind
I am dead
Spreading the disease
To the Dying Life
Where are we going?
Will it ever stop?
Thoughts swirl around in my head
Where are we going?
Reaching out
To you,
Will you come if I call?
Can you stay
While I always run away?
I'll always be running
Running away from you
Can you be happy with that?
Don't die
T'would be a shame because
I think I'll always
Be coming back to you.
When I leave, you'll know.
But 'till then,
I'll always come back to you.

[May 18th, 2011]

Please?

Won't you come be with me?'
There is noise, noise, noise
'You're not with me, you're with yourself.'
This is what I need to do.
'Please...I need you...'
I need you too.
'I feel so lonely...'
Please, please leave me alone...

Please, please take me
To a silent, calm place.
Please, please just hold me,
I'm trying not to break.
Please, please, I need you,
To just love me, right now
Just for a while, just until
I can find myself again.

Your Eyes

Your eyes wash over me, asking
'Why aren't you with me?'
I shrug and look away, but you,
Your eyes continue to sigh at me
And all I can do is stare back
My eyes unfocused,
My mind distracted,
My feelings in turmoil.
Your eyes cry dry tears
As you watch me try
To delete myself:
To forget what I've done,
To forget what I've asked for,
To forget what I've thought.
Your eyes cry to me,
'What have I done?'
My eyes are blank,
Lying to you as you beg me
To relent my silence.
Your eyes,
Your beautiful eyes,
Close in exhaustion,
Momentarily defeated;
Your eyes open sadly
And begin to plead with me
Once again.
