Literally Inclined

It‘s a tragedy of sorts when I look into your puppy eyes I know I‘m meant to think this is inappropriate But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me And turn around to give you the cold shoulder in an effort to make it stop On one hand, I wish you would disappear into an abyss and take all the mixed feelings, set me free But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me I live through another day behind the counter in an effort to make it stop On the other hand, it is you who stares into my eyes And I‘m wondering who started the masquerade But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me And I don‘t really want it to end either so I don‘t make an effort to make it stop I‘m wondering what is going to happen with us It is inevitable that one of us has to leave But I feel as though it‘s an honor that you recognize me I wish you all the best for your life with her I will leave in an effort to make it stop

You remind me of crickets on a hot summer night the only sound that can be heard for miles the air is ripe and the smell of hay lingers in this moment, when it‘s just you and me Running my fingers through your hair just feels right We don‘t need to share any words, our smiles are enough to know we‘re no longer strangers in this moment, when it‘s just you and me Orange turns to dark blue, your shadow in the moonlight We‘re stargazing and fantasizing about our lives We‘ve dreamed of this since we were teenagers in this moment, we start our eternity

“It is not meant to be“, says the mind while the heart still isn‘t sure about possible consequences of blindly following feelings without asking the eyes for permission Your eyes speak volumes, but your mind has decided that your heart should love her, you think your feelings have tricked you they made you feel love for someone like me There is no space for me in a life like yours With picture perfect attributes and no room for broken hearts, deviations from the grand plan or a heart that rules over your own conscience A twist of fate wont change your schedule in which you are occupied, but i‘ve got time on my hands, but my mind will be busy thinking about what could have been But never will be, and so our eyes meet every once in a while, trying to avoid that they know just as well as my mind and your mind that all of this is just an act of self-delusion

I thought I knew but I was wrong Out of the blue you came along You were the bait and I the fish Now it‘s too late You‘ve served the dish The dish was cold and its taste rancid Tragedies unfold when you‘re too candid You‘ve spoiled my day and now I know You‘ve come to slay please sign below ……………………………………………………………………….. The dotted line separates the good from the spoiled and rotten brood In your mind I am the latter Please be so kind and stop your chatter You‘ll disappear without a trace and leave me here in this rat race I did my best and helped you out You ignored the rest got me shut out But I‘ll remain I will be brave the unbearable strain wont be my fate

Gluttony Come chocolate, cure the pain I‘ve said no, but it was in vain Come icecream, numb my sorrow it‘ll all be better tomorrow The scars on my soul wont vanish I can‘t cover them up with that ganache Memories don‘t just fade away from eating another raspberry sorbet The sweetest taste wont make up for a broken heart that can‘t be restored those extra pounds, they weigh me down Will I even fit in my wedding gown? Confidence is but a dream in this life served with whipped cream and a cherry on the top calorie counting, make it stop Protein powder, cottage cheese purely fulfilling dietary needs there is no taste and you‘re not free when food is your worst enemy

Do you remember the moment our eyes first met? Do you remember how awkward it felt, so perfectly imperfect? Do you remember your heart beating out of your chest? Do you remember the days we had it best? Do you remember our first kiss? Do you remember the seemingly infinite bliss? Do you remember the beautiful scent of my hair? Do you remember the tears i‘ve cried in despair? Do you remember all the times we‘ve fought? Do you remember all the pain that it brought? Do you remember me wanting to leave? Do you remember us sharing the painful grief? Do you remember what we were meant to be? We believed that we would last an eternity.

Nostalgia People are passing by, their faces turn into undefined masses Laughter and chatter turn into white noise My heart is beating slowly, beat by beat endlessly yearning for its missing pieces to return Here and there and everywhere pieces of my heart are all over the world in places, in thoughts, with friends, with people I loved them once, but the love has faded away The pieces remain with you, with him, with her and my heart hopes that it wont be forgotten or that its beats will turn into white noise I hope that I have left some memories with you You have taught me lessons of love and pain You have taught me how to lose and how to gain You have taught me how to be me In this undefined mass of people just trying to be special For you, for him, for her

Love Science Come, come join me in my magnetic field You are tiptoeing around me Sometimes you even yield Two opposites dancing the dance of the force of attraction It‘s a perfect romance no room for refraction We are head over heels Static electricity, your handshake, it‘s stunning You give me all the feels Your positivity It keeps my engine running When your photons hit my receptors My heart is beating faster You speed up my sinus vector in this love science disaster One plus one equals two We do have great chemistry When I‘m doing the math with you We‘ll leave it all up to biology

Multiply by two One soul is seeking One true companion A lifetime of happiness Two hearts are silent no words, just heartbeats in infinite palpitations Four eyes speak volumes tales of a fantasy world an endless love story Eight hours in a day are barely enough rewriting history 16 hours spend awake all of them dreaming about one true love

Destiny Here I am Standing up again My arms wide open, my soul unbroken I take your harassment You can't bring me down A smile on my face, no frown You think you beat me, but you cannot impeach me I am sitting on this throne My grace reigns You wont put me in chains Your attitude so feisty, I'm telling you concisely You are no competition I've watched the betrayal And it proved to be fatal But I will go far and I will follow that path until i reach my destiny
