Andrea Scarpa Poems

Speak, stay, say ok,
this little boy is falling apart.

Scream, sway, just go away
...

Like dreaming in black and white, with no sound
or being in a place with no light, underground,
came the memory of years gone, and the passing,
so I tried to stop the spawn, and the classing,
...

A thousand splinters in my brain
no matter what I'm still sane
something follows me everywhere
drinks don't help I am aware
...

They're shutting down the factory today, everybody's protesting.
The workers finally took a stand, the people, they are fighting for their rights.

The factory that makes poison how can they shut it down?
...

I don't have time
yet it all goes to waste
how can I sleep on a broken neck?
...

Sometimes there's so much evil in this world
it's too much to take
I fight the feeling of disgust, my heart
seems bound to ache
...

I need you more than I need air, because air is not worth breathing without your scent in it,
it is empty and a cold void, without your perfume.
I don't need a nose if it can't touch your hair when I kiss your neck and breathe you in,
nor a mouth if I can't taste your lips, your tongue, the whole of you, every single day.
...

Going down fast

do you ever feel overwhelmed?
spiralling down under the weight of your own self
...

I've slept a thousand nights alone,
let the noise of silence seep deep through my bones

and far myself I've thrown,
...

The tragedy of a being that only wanted to love and to be loved,

but only found himself wandering alone,
...
