Good bye

Hezekiah Jackson

To whom it may concern: If you read this If you care This is good bye Sometimes in life The pain is too much The trials and tribulations Build up The heart is a delicate vessel If it fills Becomes over capacitated With no drainage No outlet No one empties it The sorrow The lake of regret Filled with heartbreak Polluted with aspects of my well-being That fell As I fought for my humanity The essence of my soul Trying to be... A better person Someone you can See as worthy Good Someone.... You can love Erase the sin Paint over the darkness Put the skeletons in the closet Burn any fear Uncertainty and insecurity Everything must be perfect For the one I love Only You didn't see that The effort I put in To hide my ugly parts Things I never wanted you to experience You saw through the act Exposed all of it And said it's okay You don't have to hide These scars Show the lessons that made you Not the battles you lost The multiple wounds You suffered It shows what Makes you beautiful Now.... I'm fighting with fire The abundance of feelings Morals Obligations That turns me into a powder keg Too close to a spark Deadly I can't hurt you Or burn the bridge That keeps us together Connected I love you More than you know Or possibly understand To whom it may concern: If you read this If you care This is good bye Sometimes in life You have to leave To protect the ones You care about The ones You love But.... This isn't forever

Я граю лише уві снах...

Nadine Tikhonovitch

Я граю лише уві снах, Гітару, мов тебе, обіймаю, І пісня стара на вустах, Що в серці болем лунає. Я граю лише уві снах, Мелодію, давно що забута, І печаль в блакитних очах — Мій жах і муза, мій смуток. Я граю лише для тебе, Хоч знаю, що плід ти уяви, І біль губить нестерпний — Я гину, а пісня лунає... Я граю мелодію ніжну Та бігти хочеться геть, Як чую солодку я пісню: Вона нагадає про смерть... Бо вона серце зворушить І змусить згадати тебе, Ну нащо грати я мушу І палати мертвим вогнем? Поховавши, я присяглася, Що забута гітара — ось так, Бо пісня для тебе лилася... Я граю лише уві снах...

I Saw a Dream

Ілва Стрілецька

I saw a dream, and there were you, And there was coldness in your eyes. I wonder what a kind of true Made you become as cold as ice. And later I looked back to get a sense This empty glance was hellish call of past. It used to be a high and strong defense Against the world, the pain and me at last. You looked at me, and peering in your soul, I felt so lonely, as something vital died. And that is what I fear most of all - That nothing gentle will remain inside. Inside of you. Inside of me as well. And nothing will be said to farewell.
