She walked up to me with open arms and said,
“You look like you need a hug.”
So that she did,
she gave me a hug-
and little did I know,
I needed it.

Basking in a field of flowers,
as I come to smell them all-
but the best of them smells of lavender,
and then I begin to melt into a ball.
I shuffle myself closer,
and a solid warm wall I bump-
I open up my eyes and realise,
it’s a boy curled into a lump.
He’s what smells of lavender-
and very sweet, sweet warmth.
I want to bury my nose into him,
and let myself drift forth.

The knight takes off his armor,
and shows his wounds to the sky.
His shield is let down,
and his sword is thrown on by.
The reason be known,
for the strong soldier is he.
Because he took off his armor,
he is stronger than the waves of the sea.
After all the knight will stay through the fight,
to see what lies beyond.
The dusted land will carry him,
to a place he must go on…

You lookin' like an angel on the walls of Versailles!
The most alive I've ever been-
but kiss me, and I might drop dead.
If you let me stay the night...
Well, I think I might just have to stay forever.

Tiny bedroom softly lit by light,
and a little lamp- putting up a fight.
The room mostly dark, but in a corner it shines-
trying not to flicker in and out of time.
It's been there for quite a while,
as the darkness laughs and smiles.
Where, oh where did hope go?
Did it leave us all alone?
Darkness begins to creep in,
and the light is cut small and thin.
Who knows if we’ll make it out-
I might just have to shout.
A desperate, helpless cry, to counteract the growing lie.
Will it fall upon deaf ears?
Will we fall to our own fears?
The lamp flickers once… and nothing clears.
The room remains shrouded in tears,
while the darkness and its peers continuously leer.
And in the end, no flame appears-
just silence, stretching through the years.
“Tomorrow's another day…”
is what they all say.
As the monsters lie in wait,
and we blindly take the bait.
Perhaps, the dark was meant to stay.
Perhaps, it will never go away.

Bouncing anxiety coming off of me,
“On your mark,” he calls, my lungs tighten me.
I'm scared, though I've done this countless times before-
but really, you can never be quite so sure.
“Get set,” he says as I jump, slap my legs hard-
I need to hit my blocks right, or I'll be caught off guard.
Heart banging, ears alert,
waiting for the sound I fear.
Bang.
I shoot off the blocks with powerful stride,
in less than 30 seconds I'll feel dead inside.
It burns- no, I'm slowing down!
My spikes scrape fast against the ground.
The 100 feels so safe and sound,
so why run the 200,
one more curve around?

Two sunflowers growing, basking in the Sun,
till the big sunflower covers the little one.
“Dad,” says the little sunflower, “I can't see the Sun!”
“I know,” says the big sunflower, “in hopes you get burned none.”
The little sunflower thinks long and hard,
‘Sure if I'm covered from the Sun I won't get charred,
but if I'm not in the Sun growing will be hard…’
“Dad, I need the Sun to grow,” the little sunflower whispers in tow.
“No you don’t!” yells the big one, “you’ll only get burnt and come undone.”
“But that's part of growing! I need to be let free-
under your shadow, I can't quite see!
I need the Sun to grow into me!”
“I've been in this field longer,
and I know what's best,”
the big sunflower says, as if it's a contest.
So the little one decides to give it a rest,
because she knows if she didn't-
what would come next.

Three years later, I didn't realize-
how long it’d been since that terrifying surprise…
I shot out of the hotel slide, you said hi-
We talked a bit, and barely realised,
I didn't see straight through your eyes-
that piercing blue that I’d later despise.
You led me up to the top floor-
walked around, and I tried to small talk some more.
One word answers, boredom in your eyes-
till you brought me to a hallway, and we sat down inside.
You kissed me, and touched me, and I told you no-
that all I wanted was a friend, and this isn't how I wanted it to go.
I cried, and I shook, and I was frozen in place-
and instead of listening, you captured me with your lips embrace.
Silence down the elevator, till it was crowded in a rush,
and you slipped out the door in a hush.
I got in trouble, because for over forty five minutes I was gone-
and to think three years later, the memories lasted too long.

“Creak!” shouts the floorboards,
“unlock me..” whispers the doors,
but The Girl simply sees a chore.
“I have to be let out-
believe me, I'm sure.”
Again, The Girl willingly ignores.
“I can't be left here,
I can't be suppressed,
you must open the door to start your quest!”
The Girl treads past-
all the wooden whispering doors,
“Open me please…”
“Don't you want to know what's yours?”
But the girl can't be bothered,
-out of sight out of mind-
what's waiting for her will be opened another time.

I do it to make you smile,
even just for a little while.
You wear that face-
like you hate the world’s choking embrace.
I saw the rubber bracelets-
stacked over your wrist.
I saw the everyday outfit you wore,
-never missed.
I say, “Hi Ben!” happily again,
for the third time today-
And I do it to make you smile,
even just for a little while…
My hope is that an impact is there,
even just a little tear,
-a tear away from your constant pain-
the relentless feeling of no gain.
I say, “Hi Ben” and I get a smile,
for just a little while-
