sigh

someone's sigh,
is a sign

suffocating one's chest,
can you hear

gasping for air,
nobody can hear
can someone care

you never know how desperate
that one sigh was
the road to wars
the road to hate

others may not know
but i,
i know

you are clinging on to life
take a deep breathe
it'll be alright
let me hold you.

how can i give you comfort?
your sigh,
breaks my heart.
a soft sigh,
another hope lost

that soft sigh,
others can't hear it,
but it's ringing in you.
the siren is up,
now don't think of anything
rest

somebody's sigh,
listen carefully
listen to their urgent plea
hear that hopelessness

you've worked hard,
how could i ever show you that?
let me hold you
i'll hold you tight
till you fall asleep,

that heavy sigh,
occasionally
you let go a bit more than usual

i just want to tell you that
i'm here
i hear

that sigh,
i understand,
i really do.

humans

is it just me, or the world goes round round round.
we never see the good,
only blinded by the annoyance,

bow wow, there goes another mosquito buzzing
beep, another mistake.
yellow card, next time red card.

i don't see you acknowledging my efforts to improve
i don't see any praise.
or am i not praise worthy?
then there there, could i also not be blame worthy?

life's boring, really mundane.
do you remember those days,
where we chased the sunshine,
where we embraced the breeze?

bet you don't,
for there were never such times.
i've been in an endless chase with the thunder.
lightning strikes, warning me to run.
what's there left in my life, what again am i striving for,
i wonder.
