Love Lashes Your Heart

until you begin to cry

tears of blood

your body is flooded

with sadness

and pain hurts

your brain

but what can you do

you’re feeling so blue

and you find the world

so indifferent

you begin to crack

and with sobs you are racked

you can’t take this anymore

life is a sore

that finally bursts

and in which you drown

and are gone

with the ugliest frown.

The Ache

is the sky

squeezing

your mind

your heart

pressed so hard

you feel

it burst

and your

thoughts

and your

feelings

are broken

you are

shattered pieces

of yourself

crying out

to be

put together

but now

people step

on you

vehicles

crush you

again and again

under their wheels

until you are gone

from this world.

It Was So Real

all the buildings

stood for it

the merry-go-round

the see saws the slide

and the gardens

were glowing green

and golden in the sun

the sky blazed and laughed

and all of us celebrated

the moment

in our homes

on the streets

in the cars

we became human

when the wind whispered

in our ears

peace love.

My Mind Has Withered

like old wood in the rain

my heart beats in pain

every moment reminding me

of how weary I am

and I feel like a worm

that has been stamped on

there is such agony

my head is crushed

my body has torn open

and now my insides

are all out

and I am dying

I tell you

life has not treated me

like a human being.

Life Is Cutting Me Open

and stitching me up

I hurt and I heal

this goes on and on

and there are

all these scars

on my body and mind

and I don’t know

what they mean

they are just there

like I am here

writing this

and what is

this universe I ask

and I hear

my voice echo

and go silent

like I will

one day.
