In the waters

Waking up, I look around
Water is everywhere, I'm freezing cold
Muffled sounds, salty taste in my mouth
I realize I'm in the sea
I'll drown... I panic

Looking up, I see the sunlight
I try to swim up, to float... in vain
I try not to breathe, not to fill my lungs with water
It burns...
I'll drown... It hits me, there's no way out

I know I'll die
My life a movie before me
I stop resisting
What is beyond  life, beyond death
I relax
Giving up the fight, I trust it'll be faster

That's when it happens
Peace, calm, tranquility wash over me
Eternity hits me, as I close my eyes
As I let go, my chest burns, can't feel my legs
The time has come, this is it
I wait for the blackness

The burning easies, I don't feel cold anymore
Paying attention, I realize the sounds
Clear, far away sounds
A bigger fish swimming, a turtle nearby
I smell a catfish, a skate, not so far away

I open my eyes, the water is clear
Somehow I'm breathing instead of drowning
Trying to move, I glide
Effortless, comfortably

Looking down, now I remember my roots
As I swim away batting my tail
I sing the magic song of the lost souls
Long flowing blond hair
In my past life, newly reborn
As the mermaid, I've always been

Dark Hole

There's darkness everywhere Around me, into me I can't see the light anywhere I can't see the way out Come and get me Take me away from here Do you love me enough to come here? Do you care enough to go through the trouble? Maybe I'm alone in this journey Maybe I have to find the way out by myself Get up, get out, get away The night threathens to engulf me whole My sadness is so deep you can almost touch it Will you love me when I'm gone? Will you still remember me when I'm not around? I look up and I understand The darkness is only the absence of light But your presence in my life is my light How can it get better then If I'm here without you honey? Honey, honey, come and get me Take me away from here

There’s nothing left

Was it ever real, was it ever forever Like an unborn child, I mourn the loss of what never was If it was a test, we failed How can what was supposed to be strong die so fast Fast is not easy, letting go is a process Even after everything we went through you still don’t know me You still don’t see me, you can’t have me without giving you all From the cliff that we would fall There’s an emptiness blowing like the wind From the story we would write down There’s nothing left After everything we went through you still can’t get me But now it’s too late, it’s too late to die It’s too early to be reborn and where does it leave us In the nothingness in-between you don’t see me inside The void, the lust, the love, the fight, I will never lie If only there was a way to die and be alive, then we would know what it was You listen, but you can’t understand, because you forgot how to use your soul to read mine Now listen, when you walk down the streets My...

Twin flames

I had to leave you before we even knew each other And yet we know more than most people ever learn through their lives The warning signs were obviously there We just chose to ignore each and every one If I only had never known what talking to you was like If I could have one more day with you I’d listen close to you I’d close the distance I’d touch you I trusted you, and you were trustworthy But now my heart is torn Could it be any harder To leave you without ever knowing what could have been To live my life without you To go through the hours without hearing from you Not knowing what you’re feeling Could it be any harder To know yet to be obligated to forget Am I free to choose to follow my destiny? Or to listen to my heart?
