Thief Of Moments

Shattered pieces of a stolen time.

[thiefofmoments]

I see you. Trapped. In your head. In your heart. In your body. In your loneliness. In your addictions. In your insecurities.

I see you. Helpless and desperate.

I see you. Longing and hoping.

I see you. Giving up. Letting go.

I see you. I feel you. I am you.

Never again.

So often I think of running away. Getting so angry and sad and disappointed and so terribly unfulfilled…while living a perfectly ordinary life which many others would consider happy, stable and good. Is it only me? Is it only IN me? Am I the problem and the reason why I feel this way. Do other people not feel like this? And if yes, how do they live if it and for how long? If I run, will it help, will set myself free? What if it follows? And wouldn’t it be just a cowardice rather than cutting off what does not serve my well being? Will I eventually feel better? I really want to feel better. Please, let me feel better.

Past in the present. Fairytale. A memory of childhood.

Again I am lost in reflection.

I’m not even there!

If I’m not there, than where?

Correction of imperfection.

Does this remind you of your path? Long, crooked and stormy?

Path

Heading nowhere

Every day

Feeling no care

Hard to say

Land of hope

Nowhere to find

Where is home

But left behind

I wish I knew

This path ahead

Is it to you

Or to my dread?

Storm is coming

Lightning struck

Silver lining

Perhaps luck

Or darkness comes

And takes me back

To where I was

In cold and black

I swear I ask

For better days

To rise and bask

in the Sun’s rays

Try to enjoy everyday to the maximum. We never know which one is our last one. These are no news. However as time passes by, I learned that there is a different meaning for everyone especially in the word enjoy. Some people tend to take it as partying hard, intoxicating themselves, wreaking havoc, being inconsiderate and egoistical. Unfortunately those are misguided notions. I learned that the hard way. That kind of living takes you further from life and its real value and makes you disassociate from the world which ultimately leads to feeling lonely and empty.

Try to enjoy simple pleasures, small moments of joy and wonder, human interaction and life will actually feel rewarding. That’s when you can start enjoying it.

Leave a trace

This is not the place

Nor the time to erase

Demons I have faced

And I’ve had to embrace.

I stand here disgraced

Prepare to be amazed

By will ruptured and dazed

And effort so misplaced

How many more days

Are there for my ways

To try and find my grace

And leave at least a trace?

Isn’t it strange how fate sometimes guides your path and you suddenly end up on a place you were not planning to visit at all and you haven’t visited for a while? And while there is no concrete evidence of connection between you and said place, you end up there anyways in multiple points of your lifetime and for virtually no reason at all? Like some force is pulling you there and circumstances suddenly play out that way…

I wish I knew why I am supposed to be here.

Heartbreak City

Down there beneath

Wounds so deep

I cut my teeth

Just let me leave

I wanted to love

Your every grove

I don’t and I won’t

Cause I don’t belong

You hold me in

Suffocating

A moth and a pin

Heart bleeds within

I wonder if he’s ever got the answer he was praying for. I sure haven’t… Perhaps I too will become stone.

How do I get to absolution if I’ve never found faith in the first place…?

I missed you. I haven’t visited for a long time. Funny, coming here feels more like coming home than when I actually come home.

Fabulous Flirt Fail

Browsing through cassettes on Saturday market a guy next to me flirted with me. He was really handsome. Like out of my league handsome. I panicked, obviously.

“Are you collecting cassettes too?” He asked.

“No…I am listening to them.” Was my fantastic answer. I mean this is what happens to people when they are alone and unwanted for too long.

“Uhm…well me too of course. I’ve got an old car with a radio where I often listen to cassettes”.

“Really, what car is it? Can I join you some time? What do you usually listen to?” All those would be awesome responses. But mine actually was this:

“Really? Cool.”

I will probably die alone I guess.

Unholy

Lately

I’ve been so angry

And lonely

Sadly

Barely

Holding on tightly

Endlessly

Craving

Gladly

Letting go blindly

So unholy

Deadly

Falling

Poem/Lyric by @thiefofmoments

[thiefofmoments]

You trapped me in

And pulled so hard

I crumbled down

You ate my heart
