People
they don't come with manuals
no guidelines nor primers.
...

The dusts and stains
in the corners of this room
reminds me of what my heart
once was.
...

Like morning coffee
you wake me up.

Your warmth
...

...

You might ascend too far
And it might just be too late
Why do you have to look away
In such great distances?
...

I dove into the deepest crevices
the darkest part of me
Buried was the feeling
I said I will never set free,
...

In the night sky,
I see an ocean of stars.
From a distance,
I recognized a voice.
...

She sleeps with flowers tucked in her pillows
Her unicorn is yet to follow
Down in her heart she knows
She's a pigeon, dancing in the meadow.
...

I see to deep and too much,
I hurt so much and so often,
I look away but I always look back.
Come cradle my bruised emotions,
...
