no love for us now

you held my heart
in the palm of your hands
and to you it's
just a game
and darlin
it's a shame

i'm hanging on to your love
but baby, there's
no love, no love
No love for us now

Because you

you break my heart
with every move you make
you broke my heart
with that one mistake

i've lost count of the times
that you left me
stop playing with my heart
'cause everyone can see

i'm hanging on to your love
you're hanging on to my love

because you

you break my heart 
with every move you make
you broke my heart
with that one mistake

baby, there's no
love, no love
no love 
for us now

your skin is crawling
there is no way out
nothing left to do
except to scream & to shout

your voice is lost
silenced once more
you cannot sleep here
or anywhere anymore

nobody hears you
and nobody sees
nobody cares
you're alone on your knees


dark days...

days when your body can't move
when you feel so tired 
when you sleep around the clock
the mind bound and wired

reasons for living seem so distant
when you feel so alone
when you avoid company
you feel your heart moan

you can't brush your teeth
when you simply don't care
when you lay there and wonder
is anyone there?

words seem so pointless
when you cannot see
when there is no future
for you or for me

sigh when the morning comes
when you dread the long day 
when you long for the night
why you don't have a say

smile when you enter the room
when you carry on as you do
when no-one must know
the hell you go through

'how long can it last?
when all you see is blue
when you want it to stop
and nothing is new

for Anne Gregory

never shall a young man
thrown into despair
by those great honey-coloured
ramparts at your ear,
love you for yourself alone
and not your yellow hair

but i can get a hair-dye
and set such colour there,
brown, or black, or carrot,
that young men in despair
may love me for myself alone
and not my yellow hair

i heard an old religious man
but yesternight declare
that he had found a text to prove
that only God, my dear,
could love you for yourself alone
and not your yellow hair

W.B Yeats

fortuna dies natalis my friend. x

a friend like you
i hold close to my heart
be you near or far
we are never apart

a friend like you
your kind is rare
i count my lucky stars
just to know you're there

a friend like you
today is your day
i'm sending big love
and i must say..

fortuna dies natalis
my sweet friend
fortuna dies natalis
from beginning to end

Dum vivimus vivamus (While we live, let us live) - part 1

rules were made for breaking
isn't that what they say
let us live while we live
why not start today?

rejecting all the judgements
all the lies you've been fed
this is the final curtain call
conquer the voices in your head

life is for the living
no time for greed or fear
so let us live while we live
a time to love those dear

intensity

intensity is kinda extreme right? like when something is so cold it burns you....

in both the horrendous & joyous intense of moments, there is something that you take away & carry with you forever.  it can make you or break you.  it doesn't always feel like a choice but it is.  i am fortunate to have experienced both and come out the other side, yes with scars but you do learn to love those scars. trust me!


sometimes i think i am too intense but those moments they are pure, raw, honest and alive.  i wouldn't trade them for the world. it took me a long time to see that those moments make you who you are.  i do wonder why people avoid those overwhelming feelings of both utter complete bliss and gut wrenching pain.  i guess it is easier to exist in a void, in the middle and not take the risk.  i am sure you have heard people say that they don't want to do something they have always dreamt of that would give them pure joy because the come down would be too much?  that thought pattern is so disheartening and engulfed in the murkiest of greys.

when in the intense moment i think about the fine line between hate vs love (or things that fall into those categories). like this picture, are they about to kill each other or are they barking in excitement? 

you decide...
