Rose’s rose rose
In the light of the day
While the wind blows
Round its flowers of the lightest rosé.

'Work for perfect skin
Make your eyes look big
You ankles have to be thin
Your lashes long and thick
...

I cannot see you like this
All worried and depressed
Your face darkened
And your eyes so sad
...

I often sit here
And look out the window.
There I see,
I see the world.
...

Help me
whoever might hear my plea
I cannot breathe
And I cannot see
...

In a Land far away
In a magical and
On this special Day
With my Queen in my Hand
...

What is going on?
Nothing bad happened today.
I feel like I want to run
Away from this place, away, away.
...

I finally found a solution
To this picture of destruction;
I cannot be, can only live
I cannot feel, can only give
...

I want to thank you
For all the things you do for me
First of all you made me see
The person that I used to be
...

Just see those greening leaves
Sway in the summer breeze.
See the cat lying in the weed
Breathe.
...

Right now
Everything feels new.
My life has changed
And so have my feelings for you.
...

The filthy floor of the darkened room
Through the dirty windows shines a dire gloom.
Right in the middle, a chair at the front
Stands a desk, the one that he used to sit at.
...

Having you as a friend made me happy
Losing you as a friend makes me feel like I’m dying
But interrupting your decisions makes me feel
Like something disturbing in your life
...

...

First laughing
Then arguing
Third ignoring
Fourth pretending
...

When I see your face
There is something different
A special relief
And unique excitement.
...

How can you be so heartless?
Do you know what you do to me?
If yes, how do you dare?
But even if you knew, I think
...

You look at me
But you do not see me.
You touch me
But you do not feel me.
...

Where are you?
The one that would never hurt me.
Where is that guy?
I do not see him.

She heard the rain fall heavily on the ground as she closed her eyes to forget. Forget about the rain, the dark, empty, foggy street she was standing in, the old buildings around her. The wind blew icily through her hair, she could hear it whistle through the narrow gaps of the dusty alleys between the house blocks.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a shadow flit over the wall opposite of where she was standing, lit by the one bleak latern in the place. Although the shadow looked scary, she was neither scared nor alarmed. She just watched it dance in the light. It seemed to her like it was trying to get her attention.
The young woman lowered her head once again, she listened to the beat of her heart pumping blood through her body. The rain soaked her clothes, it ran over her body and face as she stepped out from the canopy she had been standing under.
It was a cold night and the stars were covered by thick, heavy clouds.
