Lost

Tired. Not of you, but of the struggle, of the moments of silence, dispair, solitude. Of uncertainty. Of the constant risk of losing it all, even of I never even had it.

Scared and alone in my madness, facing decisions I never thought I'd consider, with no backup, no hopes and no promises. 

The closer I get, the further you run. And the higher I climb the harder I fall. I am full of bruises and my feet are tired for running. Yet, it takes a glimpse at the sparkle in those eyes to make my engine run again.

And I gave it all, played all my cards, used all my amunnition, my guns are laying dead on the floor and my misteries are open books on your table - sometimes you look at them intrigued, but some other times you close them and you put them away, for later, way later...

And I act grown up till I'm alone and the monsters show their ugly faces from behind the courtins. And I shake till the morning, waiting, hoping, praying.

If only you read me all the times...

Naiva / Naive

Sursa foto
Eram doar eu si cu tine
Doua aratari ciudate dintr-o carte de povesti.
Incercand sa-mi fie bine
Te-nvatam sa ma iubesti.

Sus era cerul albastru
Prea departe sa-l cuprind.
Legana pe el un astru
Care-apuse stralucing.

Mai tarziu, dupa furtuna
Incercam sa te gasesc
Alergand ca o nebuna
Dupa visul tineresc.

A ramas o amintire
Dulce-amara, undeva,
Un ciob trist de stralucire
Cu parfum de-al altcuiva.

It was just you and me
Two strange illustrations from a storybook.
Trying to make me well
I was teaching you to love me.

Up was the blue sky
Too far away for me to grasp
A star hung on it
That set away brightly.

Later, after the storm
I was trying to find you
Running like a madwoman
After the youthful dream.

Remained a memory
Bittersweet, somewhere,
A sad shard of glow
With someone else's perfume.
