Die (25-10-2007)

Leave me alone, can't you see I'm crying?
Don't want you near, my tears are drying
And I will feel anger bubbling up inside
So I do suggest you get out of my sight

I have had enough and yet I still am hurting
Wish I could avoid you, to happines reverting
Yet the past is real and the future is a blur
But in the present I must act, I'm sure

So instead of marking my hands with your blood
And before I call upon tempests, wind and floods
Go on, be a man and take the proffered knife
Stab your heart and die, make me a widowed wife.

Be Strong (23-10-2007)

Please don't cry, it's not worthwhile.
I'm sure it'll be fine, the sun will shine
again in your life.

Come on, get up, no use whining like a pup,
You have to fight, it's what is right,
Just follow your heart.

You know what to do, what street to pursue
The right from wrong, you have be strong
To make it happen.

I'm here for you, will stick like glue
Right by your side, all through the fight
Don't ever doubt.

Women who wait (22-10-2007)

Maybe it's just fate, or maybe not.
Has ever a man, his lover forgot?
I've asked around my female friends
And on the results, the thesis stands.

That men in plural, or on their own
Tend to make us women feel forlorn
When they forget those that care,
With whom they promised life to share.

Maybe it's genetic or maybe just stress
But either way, we need a caress
A hug, a kiss, a hello there!
Otherwise our life and heart feels bare

Do not forget us, don't take for granted
Or us, your lovers will feel shunted.
Cos women wait, but if they're clever
I'm sure they won't just wait forever!

Dreams (13/10/2007)

My eyes are open but do not see
The night is dark, sweet harmony
Images flashing inside my brain,
Emotions that I cannot contain.

I almost feel you here on my right
but when I turn, it's just the night
Tried to reach out and touch your face
I'm feeling cold, no one to embrace.

I fall asleep, and there you are
Suddenly you're close, and not too far
Laughing, talking, taking photos of streams
You're not here in life, you're mine in dreams

Tragico Amore (07-10-2007)

Un solo pensiero nella mia mente
Mi disturba tremendamente
Mi lascia senza fiato, spenta,
Come una nave nella tormenta.

Penso che non esiste amore
Senza dolore, senza rancore.
Che chi ama, deve soffrire,
Sanguinare, per poi morire.

Mi sembra che Dio ci ha maledetto
Che una spada che trafigga il petto
Se osiamo provare, se osiamo sperare
In un domani con un uomo da amare.

Brief translation: The author is thinking about how tragic life is for women who try to love but end up suffering, bleeding, dying. Is there a curse on love?

Drowsy (04-10-2007)

My eyes just want to close
I'm full of aching bones
My tiredness feels sweet
And somehow so complete.

At least my heart is calm
There seems to be a charm
That's working on my dreams
No more tears, fights, screams.

I'm now falling asleep
No need for counting sheep
I'm happy and content
My daily energy spent.

Thank you (01-10-2007)

The lions have stopped prowling
On the fringes of my mind
And balance is approaching
Where before fear made me blind

It almost seems like a dream,
although you would not recollect,
Days here not fighting upstream
Happy moments I will protect.

I know you'd hate me waxing lyrical
But I promise that it's true
So before you change the channel
Thank you friend and adieu.
