A selfish rhyme

As vast as this world may seem
I squeeze it down to me
There's anger, passion, unity
Love and humility

The fuel of my desire
Lights the fire
Echo of my words fills the dawn
From the day I was born

In secret is my rendezvous
Selfish and selfless
Not shy of any secret revealed
Dressing wounds that won't heal

The world is just a bubble
Bright and colourful
Waiting to be blown away
I lose interest and walk away

Two mirrors, one pump and two wheels
Multiplied is humanity
Life becomes anonymity
I shut it out to be free

Bleeding

When I couldn't understand
I kept silent
When you let go of my hand
I ble(e)d words

So near you could hear my breath
But not my cry
The distance grew to such a length
I ble(e)d words

If there is comfort in darkness
I couldn't sense it
Because I carried the sadness
I ble(e)d words

I am alone as I always was
To want and not have
When I re-live that pause
I ble(e)d words
