Literature Text

My love is unconditional
Like everything I give
These arms are meant to hold you up
This heart to help you live

The life you lead is not easy
Sometimes it's filled with pain
Let my arms act like bandages
I swear I'll help you heal again

You'll never have to stand alone
Or keep things locked inside your head
I'll be the pillar you can lean upon
A soothing voice to banish dread

For you I would lay down my life
Surely your burden I can share
Please cling to me when times get tough
You know that I'll always be there

To Be In Love

I don't know what it's like to be in love Or whether I should be bothered by that or not Years ago I thought I knew But whatever I thought I knew has been forgotten When I was younger I was enthralled by it It was probably the closest thing I've done to drugs The highs were euphoric and the lows ruined me But it was just a chapter and time marched on I don't know if I'm willing to try loving again Or whether I'd let anyone get that close to me Being vulnerable is a requirement And I haven't been vulnerable in a very long time Even the concept is like a dusty old book tucked away The sort of thing put in a box and left in the attic My wi

The Death Within Life

Raging Seas Dark skies Endless tears Cold fires That is what life is. No fairy godmothers or knights in shining armor. Only witches and cauldrons recipes for disaster. There are no three wishes or steeds that fly. No hero, no powers, certainly no rewinds. Life is but time flowing forward. Spent by little moments we call ours. It is never enough, not once. Fragments engraved they're left to remain. Not even our mind, our knowledge can prolong our hours. To live them as they come seconds remembered, never forgotten. To let them pass by our envy and our pride. No wonder we are fools both then and now. Not one of us

Promise Me

If I tied you to a tree Told you to stay if you love me Would I some day return to see Your skeleton still there for me Or would you be like everybody And just abandon me? If I beat you, almost to death But then nursed you back to health Would you love me like your breath Or view me as the theft to your soul wealth? If I tied you to a tree Begged you to never leave me Would you still try to get free Never wanting to be near me Or would you wait and see If you're the one for me? If I broke your bones, Struck you with stones, Then left you alone, Would your heart still be my home? If I tied you to a tree Commanded you to wa

don't you stop 'til you know you're gone

the bone-flutes are flooding out my lucidity. nothing makes sense, but everything belongs. the sheets are oily and hot on my skin. exhausted, i try to escape, only to drop out of reality and through the floors.

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

My Worst Ememy

I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's me, but not me. She's the girl the world sees, Happy and always laughing, Always kind and polite, As friendly as she needs to be. That's not me. I'm sad and feel like crying, Kind to only the people I know and like Faking friendliness to strangers when I have to. I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's annoying with all she pretends to be. I want to be someone else. I'm tired of the constant fights with her, She always wins. So I take it out on her when I'm alone, And no one can stop me. I'm my own worst enemy, You see. Mentally beating myself up, At first, Try

Anorexia

'You're so skinny!' 'You don't need to lose weight!' 'You look great!' Lies…all lies. I know the truth. Too many pounds here, too many there. Hips, stomach, butt… I want it all gone. I need it to be gone. Eat less, exercise more…it's such a simple problem to fix. So I eat when I need to. Doesn't even need to be everyday. It's usually something small. Carrots, celery, a handful of nuts…It's just enough to get me through the day. You want to know my daily routine? Fine. I run a few miles everyday. It took some time to get used to it, but I had to adjust to reach my goal. No one else knows I do it. I wake in the wee h

'nothing' is a raptor

*** Listen to me read this piece: When I tell you "it's nothing" you usually hear: the clouds are dark and rough like elephant skin and I'm caught up in the folds of an ear, tangled and desperate for relief but unsure how to flip myself an escape. You usually hear: the world is still turning on its axis and I am left breathless, breaking.... broken in more ways than I can count on my hands, broken in more ways than I can put a name to, broken in more ways than I can ever explain. It's not that simple, really. Really, "nothing" is a raptor dragging furrows down my sides, screaming unintelligible. "nothing" is horseshoes and handgrenade

This is a personal poem I wrote for someone special to me, but I like to think that it's a poem others can connect to as well. I wrote it from my perspective of course, but it doesn't mention that it's written by a male at all. In short, it's a poem that can be related to by both sexes.
