complicity


Tonight I know you’ll see me through
Because I belong to you.

Tonight I’ll get lost in you,
I know you’ll see me through…

Tonight you’ll know you love me
And you’ll know we are free…

Tonight you’ll let me slip away…
Just hold on for one more day!

Tonight I’ll put out all the stars in the sky
Waiting for you to come by and by…

Tonight I am the one you miss,
I’m the one you long to kiss…

Tonight I’ll be the one you take care of
Because I am the one you love…

Advice on how to go through life...



Live like there's no tomorrow, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching...

Great Big Disaster


I give myself... I give and I give... every piece that I give to Him is a piece lost of myself... All the good feelings I had once upon a time are all gone...Where were you tonight? I plunged into darkness and had no one to hold my hand... I want to feel someone's hand grasping mine to keep me from falling into the abyss.

I face the wall and emulate silence. But thoughts race through my head and they get louder and louder untill I realize that everything I feel is nothing but a dream. My life is a great big disaster... but I can't live it any better. I can't get to where I am going any faster... I just watch everyone else walk on by...

I just run away from what I started... I get smaller and smaller and try to avoid getting stepped on by you... and everyone else.

My life could have been much diferent... I guess I love to fall apart... I'm an expert on loving and losing you...

Happiness...



«Happiness is like a butterfly:
the more you chase it,
the more it will elude you;
but if you turn your attention
to other things,it will
come and sit softly
on your shoulder...»

Thoreau

Everything in it's right place...





Where are you right now? Are you working? Eating? Sleeping? Washing your hands? Showering? Getting dressed? Thinking of me...?


How did we ever find each other? It all happened so fast... my head is still spinning... my mind's still in a daze... Thinking of you as been like breathing... If I stop, I die...


Tonight, looking at the moon hiding behind dark clouds I think of you once more... imagining your day and acompanying you every step of the way... I close my eyes and I see you... I can almost reach out and touch your face and feel the warmth of your soft cheeks... I can almost taste your lips (and how I long to taste them...I hunger for them, for you). I can almost run my fingers through your black hair and whisper that everything is in it's right place... we're together... and loneliness is a distant memory.



I tell you stories of magical places and fantastic characters that live in trees and hide among us and you fall asleep with your head on my lap while I gently run my fingers through your hair and kiss you softly on the lips... And then I whisper: "Everything is in it's right place..."

Unanswered questions...





I asked life for a cookie but I never got one... Should I stand in line? Or is life all out of sweets to give me...? Haven't I behaved accordingly? Haven't I been a good girl? I WANT my cookie!


I went to bed late last night... and I woke up early... I woke up many times during the night... I feel and look like a zombie... Don't know what to write... or what to think... or what to feel... The lack of sleep numbs me in everyway. My brain is about to shutdown and my body takes its time to respond... Maybe I should sleep for a while... I want to... and my eyes close in sweet anticipation... but I can't fall asleep... it's frustrating because I am sooooo tired and I so want to sleep and rest for a while... why can't I fall asleep? I want to go through and enter the realm I created in my dreams... where all is magnificient and simple... and everybody is as they should be... No one dies of broken heart disease, no one fights, no one screams... all is good... and I am good.


Since I can´t fall asleep... I just sit here waiting to learn what it is I'm suposed to learn... waiting for some sort of epiphany to hit me smack on the head.. When that happens I'll run around for a few second feeling happy and stupid I didn't get to the "truth" earlier... All of the unanswered questions I've been asking myself and asking life will finally be answered and everything will make sense... then, and only then, I'll be able to lay down and fall asleep to dream of you once again...

endless slumber





Have I finally awaken from my endless slumber? Is there really someone out there able to pull me out from this darkness? Will it be you...? My eyes are sore from all the light you bring... is it real or just a dream? Is it just the calm before the storm... or has my time come at last?


Endless dispairing nights from the past slowly fade from my memory... The sun you bring chases away all the ghosts that live in the back of my head... Your words bring solice to a broken heart... Your hands mend what I thought could never be fixed... Your eyes bring my soul back to life... Every breath I take is a step closer to you... Your whispers bring flights of angels to dance around me and teach me the meaning of love...


This night sleep will come easily... You will swoop me from all this sorrow and wipe the tears from eyes and all the distant memories will be forgotten at last... You will kiss me and lay me to rest and I will dream of you here with me... keeping watch... and guiding me through.


I will run to you and I'll be standing in the rain watching you live your life in perfect bliss. You'll look outside and finally see me... And your smile will bring peace and warmth to a tormented soul. And I will close my eyes and know... just know... that there's a time and a place for all of us... a sort of forgotten destiny or hidden desires are then revealed to us and everything starts to fall into place and make sense...


All the little things that are so important to me will be important to you as well... the world is running towards hell and lets the simple things in life escape them or pass by... they ignore what really is important and precious... YOU are precious... a treasure that I'll cherish untill the end of time... untill the end of the world...


When I awake from this endless slumber I will finally realize that I am not alone...

Open your eyes...


Last night the cold took over me... It was like winter came early and froze my heart... when will this ice melt? Will it actually ever melt? Will someone melt it and set my heart free? Will I be able to open my eyes to the world around me and awaken to a new reality? To happiness? To bliss? A sea of sorrowful sighs is all I know these days... Forgotten memories creep into my mind and make my hopes wither away and disappear. I die a little each day.

When I wake up each morning I look in the mirror and all I see is a shadow of the person I once was, a fragment of the person I could be, a ghost of the person I want to be... And when I am dressed and about to face the world I whisper to myself: "just breathe..."

Sometimes, early in the morning when I wake up, before I open my eyes everything seems perfect... all of my dreams seem to be almost within my grasp. But as I slowly open my eyes reality sets in... Over coffee I rewind and playback my life but it's hard to focus... I try to mend my broken life, my broken self... but I don't know where to start... I wouldn't even know where to begin...

There's an emptiness inside me that I cannot fill... Dreams and projects for the future are not enough to keep me busy and silence the rage inside of me. This emptiness is slowly taking over the rest: the rage is quieting down, the sorrow has no more events to feed it, happiness has faded away without warning and lust... lust has been locked away by madness... madness has been held hostage by passion, and passion has been swallowed by the emptiness... all the feelings that once lived within are slowly being eliminated and giving way to nothingness... oblivion is the road ahead.

The phone doesn't ring... my email box is empty... I am standing still in a sea of people that live their lives as if someone is fastforwarding them to a designated destiny towards the future... The voices in my head get louder and louder telling me to move or do something but panic prevents me...

And this is where I am now: standing still while you whisper to me: "open your eyes" and all I can do right now is just breathe...

The End


The end

White or black or grey?
No one knows what to say…
A wicked heart that does not beat
While broken glass beneath my feet
Bring an end to your perverted show…
The north wind ceases to blow
And the cries of the banshee
Bind what was once wild and free…
Death is neither quiet nor merciless
But to be Death is peaceful…
The world is condemned to fear it
Like a glove that does not fit…
The skies angrily pour down rain
That washes away sin and pain.
Stairs to heaven and hell
Brought by an evil spell
Erase the sun and the moon
And my end will come soon…
From a distance I will hear it call
As I prepare my great fall…
If we can only be together in death
Then let this be my last breath…

numbing feelings on a saturday night...


Saturday night... a night to put on your party dress and go out to socialize... I don't socialize much. I like to observe people around me and get a sense of what they're thinking.

But tonight (and this is something I don't do often) I decided to put on my favorite t-shirt and go out for a drink. Drinking is how you numb out all the feelings you don't want to have... it blocks all the shit you don't want to deal with... it blocks out the fact that I feel misplaced and alone.

People try to build safe lives and have every plan kept in a perfect box tucked away in some part of their brains that they can't reach. What if every plan and the world they built for themselves is only a dream?

I'm just a random person walking through the streets of someone else's creation. I can't live in this ilusion anymore. I'm trying desperatly to break out of this perfect cage I built for myself. I am aware... I have awaken... I want to find what I want... I don't want to hide behind someone else's truth anymore.

But... what if my life is someone else's dream? What if I'm just a reflection in someone else's mirror? What if I'm actually afraid to see the reality of who I actually am? What if I'm not the person I tried so hard to be? The answers are in plain sight and easy to reach... I want to believe that I have a purpose, that I do belong... that there's a place for me in this world...

I have a hollow heart and I can't feel pain nor love nor passion... The ghost in the back of my head is taunting me with visions of what my life could be... I look into his eyes through the glass of whiskey that I am drinking atempting to quiet down the ghosts that wander my mind...

I can taste the bitterness of past lifes... I am truly numb... I try to wash it out with some more whiskey but the tears roll down my face as all of life comes running back into my head... brought by the ghost that never leaves me alone...

At this point, I don't use the glass anymore... I find truth underneath the bottle... not universal truth or enlightment... but a hidden truth that only I know or understand. Everything is not quite as it seems... and everything is as it should be. A cigarrete blends perfectly with the taste of alcohol in my mouth. I close my eyes and I can't see anything. Everything's turned black. All of my wicked creations were negated by my drunken state. But tomorrow... tomorrow they'll be back with a vengeance and a thirst for blood and destruction of all that I ever wanted - peace of mind.

A whisper creeps into my heart taking your place... The sighs that once lived in me are all gone now... they were replaced by silence. It was then that I knew that no matter how hard I try I can't escape fate nor speed or avoid what's meant to be...

The ilusions of the past were broken down by consequences of unthought actions of a crazy youth. So tonight I try to numb out the thought of you and this aching longing that invades my heart every minute and every hour of every day...

And this is how I (try) to numb myself on a saturday night wishing that I was anywhere but here...
