What you expect

Harvest the pain
we share
whenever I bleed
or you cry for help.

The chance has gone
time ago
to retreat to some place
far off.

Give up your delusions
of eternal something.
You won’t get that
from me.
And the longer you try
the more I’ll make you
cry.

Two worlds

Two hands

in front of my face

touching you,

your innermost

World.

Your pear-shaped world.

Two eyes

to look straight on

through your

ribcage and flaunt

what’s found.

Your apple-shaped world.

Laura and the tyger

Laura and the tyger live
together
as she thinks they should.

Running wild around mazes
made of love
when you’d think they wouldn’t.

Laura has tried to rein it in
just for me
and the pain I was through;

but the tyger stares and
then I know:
I am gonna be his dinner soon.

Lazarus

There’s always
Something
To point out
I’m wrong.

I know I am
And yet
I don’t surrender
To the evidence:

I’m dead.

Your train of thought

The train is leaving the station
and it's the last one at this hour.
You'd better hurry, my flower,
or I'm afraid you'll be stuck here.

This is not a good place to stay
(that's even by my low standards).
If I don't catch it, I'll run,
for I don't wanna be stuck here.

Please don't dream there'll be another
it is the worst of your mistakes.
This is where your heart most aches,
and you don't wanna be stuck here

Earth and heaven, purgatory and more:
the stations this train goes through.
Better leave behind your hope, do;
because now you are just stuck here.

And in which one of the stations
do you think you are standing? Well?
I guess you know already, it's Hell
and you are really, deeply, stuck here.
