A train that never leaves the station
a bird with broken wings
an acid rain killing the spring flowers
I am
the clouds covering the full moon,
a funeral
the desert's freezing nights
I am 
the thoughts that won't let you sleep at night 
the deepest paper cut, 
an illness with no cure
I am
the dust covering your lungs
the antagonist in your stories,
the cold wind hurting your bones.

I am the pain that hurts you the most.
I am the pain that loves you the most.

Your Paper Cut

I know it's hard to touch the clouds
when memories
hold you down
I know you cry a lot inside
when no one is
around
I know it is hard to wake up
sometimes
when breathing cuts so deep.

and the birds, they sing
but 
you cannot hear
and the sun, it shines
but 
you cannot see
and there's a lot of warmth around 
but
you cannot feel.

I know it feels so hard
to live
with so many scars 

but

light will shine and you will
see
and birds will sing and
you will hear

It's just a dark path 
you have to walk
and I will be there
to walk along
don't hold your breath
don't give up yet 
just 
keep your hope
and you'll find one day
that you can fly again
for you deserve
the highest clouds
the purest air
the deepest love.

and I'll be here for you,
you, dear soul,
the sweetest lyric 
of them all.

We'll Be Happy

i hope  she thinks of you 
when the sun shines 
in her morning window
and when the moon is full at night
i hope is your face what comes to her mind

when beautiful songs play on the radio
i hope she wants to share them with you
cause i know music is like therapy to you

i hope she thinks of you 
before closing her eyes at night
and in her dreams she kisses you
a billion times
i hope she smiles at your picture in b&w;
that she sees all the beauty you carry
inside,
outside.

i hope she talks with you
and she wonders if you're feeling all right
if you had lunch
if you sleep enough
if you rest at night
i hope she asks you about your fears
and dreams
i hope she's there for you 
when pain hits you the worst.

i hope she doesn't hurt you.

i hope she gives you the happiness
i could never bring to you
i hope she cares about you
at least as much 
as i do.

i hope she loves you

I Hope She Loves You

and so you have gone
leaving me here
in a room with a torn shade
and Siegfried’s Idyll playing on a small red radio.
and you left so quickly
as suddenly as you had arrived
and as I wiped your face and lips
you opened the largest eyes I have yet to see and said, “I might have known
it would be you,”
and you did recognize me
but not for long
and an old man of white thin legs
in the next bed
said, “I don’t want to die,”
and your blood came again
and I held it in the pail of my hands,
all that was left
of the nights, and the days too,
and the old man was still alive
but you were not
we are not.
and you went as you arrived,
you left me quickly,
you had left me so many times before when I thought it would destroy me but it did not
and you always returned.
now I have turned off the red radio
and somebody in the next apartment slams a door. the indictment is final: I will not find you on the street nor will the phone ring, and each moment will not
let me be in peace.
it is not enough that there are many deaths
and that this is not the first;
it is not enough that I may live many more days, even perhaps, more years.
it is not enough.
the phone is like a dead animal that will not speak. and when it speaks again it will always be the wrong voice now.
I have waited before and you have always walked in through the door. now you must wait for me.

To Jane Cooney Baker, Died 1 - 22 - 62 By Charles Bukowski

I will no longer say 
that I miss you at night
when my name is written  on pages
you will never read again.

Alone
astray
wandering  in the fog you brought in my mind
a thick mist covering my soul
suffocating.
Lost again
frantically I'll walk
until my heart will stop
stop loving you
stop wishing your road will be one day
the same as mine.

I will no longer say that I need you
in darkness to be my light

I'll drown in this black coffee
all the times I have watched the full moon 
thinking of you,
every touch of your cutting hands
I will drown your pictures,
our mornings,
your perfectly painted eyes,
our sleepless nights,
the songs I'm listening on repeat
because I can find you only in their lines. 

I will drown you whole.

I will no longer say that I want you
in winter to be my warmest coat.

I will no longer walk this road with no direction
I will no longer watch the moon
or listen to songs,
I will no longer write my name on unread pages.
And when my lungs will be filled with 
the ocean I'll cry
I will drown myself 
in the same coffee you hate
that I love.

Because I know,
walking any road without you
can only lead me
to my end.

I will no longer breathe
without your love around.

I Will No Longer

You are at the end of my fingertips
yet your heart so far away,
I  can't ask you to keep me warm
on nights when icicles stab my soul.

Dreaming daily 
though I know
the song you sing
is  not for my ears to hear, 
the stars you love
are not for my eyes to see.

The wind whispers your name 
through the pores of my skin,
loneliness and pain getting greater everyday.
The sky is falling over me again
and you can't see my despair.
Weak, collapsing, 
looking  for your strings to ease the fall
and at the end of my fingertips 
there's just a cold, quiet picture
haunting me whole.

I look for you and I know
that it is not in heavens
nor in hell 
where I want to find you
but
on this Earth
walking
next to me.
In vain I look
my heart will once more die in silence
cause the sky is falling over me again
but you are not here 
and it's not for me the song you sing.
