Living in pieces

Every second in my life is a part of this conflict. A god damn conflict! Every moment is a life changing decision and every breath is a battle. I swear to God, life has been playing such games with me. I have been running and fighting for so long, I believe I have forgotten how to stop. I have been searching for so long that I don`t know what I am searching for anymore. I want to give up now. I just want to give up.

 

All her life
She tried to fight
Every fucking change
That came her way

And then she gave up
In the hands of death
As it carried her away
To the throne of God

She fell to the ground
She wailed and she screamed
She asked God, why,
Why He deprived her of love

And He answered,
That love was the change
You fought through your life
The change, you kept pushing away

She looked back at her life
Just to find nothingness
No pain, no joy, no sorrows
And she wailed in front of God.

She wailed she wailed she wailed
There are times when my life is a mess, a clutter. And in those times, I laugh and I smile but as the darkness creeps across the sky and the stars take over, my pretence withers always and I end up crying myself to sleep. I dream, that fragments of my life come together to form this beautiful mosaic artwork that is perfect in every way. But the sun always rises too soon and the artwork dissolves into tiny pixels. I hate opening my eyes. I hate mornings. 

There is a thin line
That separates my dreams
From the empty realities
In my life

And I have tried
Tying myself to that line
So I can dangle and lose track
Of the truth and the lies

But he always pulls me back
And he holds me as we stand
Upright, the line cutting through
The soles of our feet

The wind blows through our hair
As we stand on the line devoid
Of the pain or the joys; devoid
Of the truth or the lies

I have this eccentric tendency of trying to hold on to everyone I meet through my life. Maybe that’s why it’s awfully difficult for me to let go of people. And maybe that is why it’s so easy for me to fall in love. I fall in love all the time; with people, with places, with memories and with things. And I wish it wasn’t that way. I wish I knew how to break free. I wish I knew how to let go.




Since the day I was born
My pillows have been tear-stained
And my nights have been alive


I cry through the course of the night
Remembering the people I lost
And the places I left behind


I talk through the course of the night
With people, my dreams invent
In places that don’t exist


I sail through the course of the night
Beyond the oceans, vast and deep
To horizon, I never seem to reach


I live through the course of the night
Like every breath is my last
Like every moment precedes death


Since the day I was born
I have been killed over and over again
By the rising sun and the morning light
