Talk

Easy for you to talk
when you don't know what you mean with your words
It's easy to offer comfort or judgment
when you don't understand how deep you're hitting
Being sincere is a cheap defense
and is good enough for an explanation only for the restless conscience
Empathy, what is it
that is what you too should ponder

It's effortless to be wise and kind
when it's not your problems that are under the lens
and you can be realistic and mightily sensible
if you don't need to be in danger yourself
Guns are not needed to hurt a man
because words and the anxiety bring are more than enough
to do even more terrible damage
Understanding, that is what is needed
but is it something you possess

Yes, you are now just a merciful seer
but remember that pride truly goes before a fall
and no one will offer you comfort
when you yourself fall and are in the same position

Translated by Sith Fisto.

Explanation

I can't say that I hate you
one short phrase can't fully explain
what I feel and what's the real truth
if there is any
Three words, how much meaning can they bear
still I don't know if there's a way
to put into words what I'm trying to say
or will exhausting explanation make it any clearer
or easier to grasp
As the sentences grow, more there is between
and less accurate they become

Hate is a powerful word
it may end one's life if used carelessly
But what other name does this feeling have

The expression on your face says it all
you don't get it, you can't see the truth
still you must have known what lies beneath the smiles
even when I tried to lie
even now when I don't know what to say
Honesty should speak by itself
but yet again I'm troubled as there are no words
to make my message short but understandable
More lines I write, more rhymes I make
less I really say or intent to tell
explanations are pretty to the ears but pain to the heart

I'm weighing my words too much
As I try my best not to hurt, it is hard to see my intensions
and after all it's those three words that say everything

Inspired by Bex and her newest poem Gatekeeper.

Dance

Obsession cannot be satisfied by feeding it
You can try and eventually fail,
you can look for solution
but the only way to stop is to bring it to an end
End of you, end of it
which one's stronger, time will show
It feels as if you can't get more perfect
whenever you're together,
you and your sick love
but it's eating you out when you're not looking
It's an illusion but you play along with it

You can dance and dance
under its magical spell

Obsession looks beautiful from the outside
if you're easy to enough to be fooled by its tricks
and even when you get close you can't feel disgust
because it becomes all you have
when everyone else wiser than you leaves
But the only way to kill it
is to be stronger than it, abandon it
but you really don't want to, do you
It's eating your soul out but you don't want to know
It captured you and found your weakness
It's your desire for simple pleasure

You can dance and dance
but the music will never stop

Obsession stole your future
but you don't need one, see one
And the only way to destroy it
is to destroy you or your weakness, your humanity
Which one do you choose or will you pretend you're alright
It has strength a person can never have
and so it keeps you moving, keeps you alive
even when your heart is already eaten
What's left of the real you, outsiders can't see
and the ones inside don't really care
Still you call it love

You can dance and dance
but it will never get tired

Love and Hate

How I hate this love song
and still I had to write it,
compose it only for you
And now I keep playing it until my fingers bleed

Love and hate are so close to each other,
just the slightest difference between them is
that one is acceptable, one is not
I hate this love song as much
as I loved you when I wrote this
Now it makes my head ache

I hate this love song,
all the sweet nothings I wanted to say to you
and the idealistic picture of love
I painted with my words

There are things which shouldn't be said
or which shouldn't be written
I can't write I love you, only saying it out loud is true
and when love dies, the written words can't be erased
I can't say I hate you, it can't be forgiven
or forgotten

I regret ever making my feelings eternal
with this love song
and now I can't forget this melody, these lyrics

At least I can tell you I can't stand it anymore

Inspired by Big Bang's "Love Song". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvUNR8wKkU0&feature=player_embedded

Pictures

What do I do, I have fallen in love with pictures
thin and translucent
forever smiling
as if they were real people
with emotions and flaws
And that they are, somewhere behind the photoshop
but that's something their reflecting surface doesn't offer me
Paper and ink,
as real as words in a letter

I've fallen in love with shining pictures,
made perfect with a computer
and what the makeup doesn't cover, the eye doesn't need to see
I wonder if my feelings are as unreal
I don't know, I only know that which I feel
They fade away, offer no support
not to mention love you back
What is it that I'm looking for

At least they don't say no, never no

And when the lights go out and the cameras are taken away
that which remains, the world can't see
Nevertheless even lies were enough to steal my heart

I have fallen in love with pure pictures

Translated by Sith Fisto. Inspired by my obsession with Kpop idols.

Masterpiece

I'm tired of living with this pain
when will it ease,
it doesn't seem to have an end
My life will end, there's no way to avoid it
but I hope this is over before that
No one is worth this,
not even if I love you
But I can't take your taunting words anymore
you play me like an instrument,
every single key creating a different feel
all of them less or more evidently painful
Let go of me
don't want to write your masterpiece

I'm coming to an end of me
I can't keep up with this pace
and my life will run out
like the sea makes the cliffs crumble
I could survive, I could have hope
but you're not worth fighthing through this
only to see better days
My soul has written you a song
and you've made me sing it, play it
on constant replay
Only that it hurts, hurts me deep
I don't want my suffering to please you in any way

This will have to end before I die
so that I can at least rest in peace
You're not worth this,
even if I used to love you

Busy with exams yet have more ideas than for ages.

Go

Go until your body stops
and won't move anymore
Run until your mind goes insane
but still holds on to your goal, your goal only
Keep moving, don't give in
You'll get there
but don't wonder when

Can you hear the bells, chasing you
better hurry
Go until the world ends, until there's no roads left
And whatever you see or hear, don't look back
and make it your way of life,
don't see the options

Faster, run
The direction is not what matters but the movement
Don't think, just do as you're told
I know better than you
what's coming behind
Reach your goal, someday soon
or die on the way there

Something rather short and silly.

Affection

If you feel no pain
have you had time to get attached at all
or is the intimacy and connection just imagination
almost real but not quite
If I only knew how to answer
when I dwell on it myself as well
Why doesn't your withdrawing hurt more
why don't I bleed from my heart
like they always do in great love stories?
Don't I know how to love?

Why do I survive instead of getting destroyed
like I should, burning in the flames of hell
Still I rise, still keep going forward
and it's not even a choice, it just happens
Can I even become attached to someone, care, love?
or are my heart and feelings just cut out from cardboard
without the ability to cling on and suffer
And if so then why, how did it come to this
when did I lost my humanity
with the feelings of sorrow?

Translated by Sith Fisto.

Cat

Is there any point in pushing me of the pedestal
that I have managed to climb on
pushed or without help
when I always land on my feet
Turn around in the air
and none of my nine lives are lost
I wonder it myself as well
Is it only just so
that the pain and sadness of human life don't touch me
anywhere but in my head, if I choose to create them myself

Something is protecting me from getting hurt
and I'm able to keep going straight away
towards the top
Success is the best revenge, that's what they say
but I don't do it on purpose, this is just how I work
And I can't help but wonder
if there's something wrong in my light heart
when the breaking of bonds doesn't feel at all
not even as a snap in the chest
I can't be this lucky

Don't try to hurt me on purpose
you will be disappointed anyway
because even before I know it myself
I've managed to move on
Yes, I can only wonder
am I still within the boundaries of normal
