I am so tired of being ‘strong’
I just want someone to hold me

Fool
My body is melting into the abyss
Hope has flown from my heart
Emptiness is my middle name
How could I have been fooled again?

She
You like me
I like you…
But so does she

Feet
I will dance through my sorrows
Enfolding anguish within each
Movement of my tiny feet

Kensington
Will I ever find love again?
My bones are slowly being drained
Of all hope
Sorrow breathes
Through my skin and
You feel so terribly distant
I don’t know what to feel anymore
Except this inexplicable
Longing in the pit of my stomach
I can no longer convince myself
That it is good to be alone

Melbourne
There are some days
When the loneliness becomes
So overwhelming
It is difficult to breathe
And even the walls seem
To have forgotten my name

Must
I must lower my expectations
I must stop fantasising
I must avoid all disappointment
I must follow my own dreams
I must shield myself from pain
Oh, what’s the use?
I’m falling for you
And suddenly I’m happy again

Apparition
Even if nothing happens
Even if I never see you again
I am so grateful knowing
That such loveliness appears
In this world every now and then

First date
A butterfly farm in
My stomach

Shoes
I like everything about you
Your crooked teeth
Your broad hands
Your ill-fitting brown shoes
