Atalanta
Atalanta
The sky is trembling with the words I try so hard to swallow.
how can a month paint my eyes and turn my tears into a fountain of numb feeling? yet i can still see this world through the layers you spread with your fingers. i can't find myself in these april showers. it shows, oh it shows

april shows
Golden honeyed petals in a riverbank of lavender, dreading the moment the daffodils no longer dance swept off their feet, prisoners to a purple world this is how flowers die

This is how we wither
It is without snow, the roses do not become brides, Without oceans, the frogs do not feel endless, It is without clouds, the sun does not feel loved Without birds, the bears forget nature's music. It is without you, I feel alone. It is with you, I love. Forget-me-not, spells the flowers in your eyes. Do not be afraid. Do not worry. I will Forget-you-never.

Forget-Me-Not
The morning will come soon, do you hear the gossip of the stars? They say the sun is angry, the moon stole another, and he weeps for his lover. Morning will come soon, I stay with the moon but I wish you the best of luck.

the unlucky ones, they dance at night
The moon told me stories, and I left to find them. I won't come back. Moonlight has brought me far and I've lost too much to turn around. Yet, even the moon says I'm not good enough to find its treasured stories. Not earth not sky saw me the way I dreamed they would. the way I dreamed I could be seen. O what a dream. And it was but that. A dream.

Gone
My life is worthless, I don't have a single petal to add to this garden of darling scarlet roses. I have nothing to give, everything is dying in my grasp and soon my soul will be fleeing my life to wither away and never come back.

To wither away
You'll be okay. Lay down, tuck yourself in my waves. Close your eyes, my budding flower, let yourself dream. Your colours will paint the coral reefs, Your breathing will rock the fish back and forth in this blanket, nestling next to you. You'll be okay.

The Sea
Smile for me, he said. And I smiled. He loved the lie... Sometimes, I'd think to that moment, after he left, ...and I'd love the lie too.

Broken
I never thought dreamers could fly, Seeping through winds, kissing the sky. Dressing their bodies with tulles of white silk, Impersonating clouds in their suits of bone milk. I never thought dreamers could fly. I always believed they were a part of the sky. Not seeping through, but one with the wind, A cosmos in their smiles, stars breeding in their mind.

I never thought dreamers could fly
If beauty is pain why must pain be beautiful? Are we to sin for our hairless upper lips? Cloud the skies for our favorite lipstick? Carve meaningless words into our hearts for our perfectly trimmed eyebrows? You say you'll be alright in your mask. You say: "beauty makes me happy." But still I wonder, how much pain have you suffered? I face myself in the mirror, a battle in my eyes. I am not beautiful and I still feel pain. Beauty is pain, pain is everything.
