Requiem for a fairytale
I'm standing in front of the window, dead inside, waiting for you. As I wait, through the glass, I see the birds fly. They are all black. Like the stains on my skin; like the void in my soul when u are not around. They stink like everything else here in this godforsaken house. Like everything else I used to care about.
Seeing them makes me feel like I'm going to die.
But, as much as I try, I can't stop watching their little wings poisoning the sky. Because there's nothing good on TV. Because I already saw everything inside here and seeing them again makes me feel worse than the flying demons outside. There's too many memories. Too many things I don't want to remember at all. Just thinking about the songs I used to sing makes me want to cry all night.
Those days, the only thing that can lift up my mood is your arrival. You are the only one that can make me smile again. Than can make me sing, laugh and dance
God I really want to dance all night. With every step, feeling once more like a teenager in love. With every song, feeling like there's no more pain… That happiness is the only thing left in my life
You are the only one that truly makes me happy; you know that. Right?
That's the reason I'm waiting for you. That's the reason I'm waiting for you, alone and wasted, in this sick joke of a house. Rotting day after day, night after night. Watching the crows that aren't actually crows passed by. Trying to convince myself that those disgusting birds are in fact sweet little things: turpials, hummingbirds or those
singing birds in the old movies I used to watch as a child Those little blue birds that were always with the princess in the moments of sing and dance; those singing angels that always precede the arrival of the prince charming, the wake-up kiss and the “happily ever after”.
When I get high, I always hear them.
I can't wait for you to come, so I can hear them once more.

When I was younger I used to have pretty legs. Right now, the only thing I don't hate about myself is my poetry.
