Cyanotic.

Do not try to comprehend,

my dearest Friend - this is the Hell.

All my bruises swell.

I tamed the fire with ice,

my vice. I breath because
the grief withdraws.

On this awkward stage

I cannot play my rage.

Etereal outlines - 

two-faced butterflies

round off my clavicle

and restart the cycle;

chop off any thorn

from my core forlorn.

And I shudder with disgust:

what have I done to myself

to make this mirror my must...

Constantly cold and blue,

I reach out my dazed hand.

Of the way back I have no clue.

Come undone.

Someone has something, still missing some more,
Someone stares at nothing, craving for the one
The lies in appearance
choke with every glance
My ear's naked in front of you
for any of your sigh - you do it too.

If our hands could unite and our thoughts could melt
you'd see we're not far, you'd smell the same scent
The lies in appearance
would lose all their substance
We're naked and unbearable
we're masked and so unstable.

My friend, I love you so
but we need to love our breath
thousand times more
to get out of this.

Indeed it's hard to look at our face in the mirror
the secrets reflected would fill it up with horror,
the lie of arrogance
never leaves us a chance
to try to expose our night,
risking to lose half of our life.

My friend, I love you so
but we need to love our skin
thousand times more
to get out of this.

In the crowd, in the crowd
we're all alone
Push it away, wash it away
until you're done
the stain you made gets visible
when you're alone
but no one cares, no one sees
we come undone.

-Veden KH-

Recession.

Hands in my pokets,
my careless steps on dry leaves;
just for one day
I'd take two paces to the rear.

I wish you were near
to tell you a tale I have dreamt
of two people lost
searching for each other - to find themselves.

The dust on our shelves,
the scent of old times,

imploring us to turn back,
imploding into the rhymes;

but still - you're in my mind
with nothing left to say
and deaf to this dust,

that - just for one day
I wish you could
blow away.
