I'm 22 and I make time to write everyday. I usually spend an hour a day on writing whatever comes to mind. I draw inspiration from things I've lost and I typically write seemingly upsetting things. Feel free to like and comment on my writings, I love feedback and knowing what people think of my writing. Thank you for reading
I’d like to be Somewhere in the sea Where my life and wife can be Alone in the sea Is where we will be My bride and my pride, you see

To See The Sea
To love and live Be it the same Though in certain proportions One heart can remain Alone in the dark With subtle remarks To a love so lovers beware

A Love, Beware
Once upon a time Sleep was an escape for me But as you know Time wears on Now sleep is avoiding me At first, I was a happy man Who smiled at all he sees But as you know Life goes on Now heartache is my company I could live the lives of a thousand men Traveling endlessly But as you know It takes a moment To salvage sanctuary So once upon a time When time wasn’t a thought But ah, you see Time is that That keeps you away from me

Time
To live a life that I never known Is to love a woman who never shown I saw her once at the dusk of summer To fall and spring at the end of winter With summer returning and hopes raising To see her again would be surprising I stayed up late nights to see if she'd come To no avail my hopes had run To my great enjoyment I spoke too soon I'll call you early to make plans for noon.

Too Soon
Your heart so fragile Your eyes so delicate as morning wind I woke to find you Reading by candle light The way you found me It's as though we’ve been searching all our lives And I know there was so much more to be given But I left you alone that night That was when I found myself someone better All the promising I would never become my father I wish I would’ve treated you better So on my mantle I wouldn’t be displaying your letters

Your Letters
Come freely darkened shadow Come along with the wind Set your sights on the horizon And I will mend your broken wing Come along enjoy the weather Feel the breeze throughout your hair Mark December for your departure And I will linger ever after Come as you are I don’t care if you’re near or far Come as you please I know you are all I need Believe what you see We’re in a big black hole No way to be certain No need to grow old But I’ve been one to notice That the present is like the past And all our dreams are in focus But we can’t seem to make them last So I’ll awake from my slumber I will update my calendar I will see that it’s December And I will linger ever after

Linger Ever After
There is a light At the end of a tunnel When our hearts cease to beat It’s the feeling you get When you’re all alone And a lovers eyes you meet It’s a long endless journey With no sense of time It’s the warmth of a soul That will help and get you by Have the angels found you Alone with an empty heart Will you make it to heaven Or were you doomed from the start Will I find you in the afterlife Waiting at the gates Or will I find myself abandoned Oh, where will we meet There’s a light At the end of a tunnel It’s calling out to me I’ve felt this before When my heart skipped a beat It’s a long endless journey With no sense of time It’s the warmth of a soul That helps to get you by Have the angels found me yet Alone in my bed I will make it to the heavens A quiet and peaceful end I will find you at the gates I will see your vibrant smile I will rest in peace but I’ll never be alone May I rest in peace but never rest alone

Rest Alone
Come along spirit Follow the being into the light The sun will cascade around us Come my love Come freely into the unknown The wilderness is as wild as hearts astray Who are you What has come between us The lonely stares become conversation The worrying persists The memories remain And I am to repeat this nightmare

Come Spirit
All through the night My dreams recite A life I planned for thee Where our children would play And at night they pray To grow up and love like we But as the sun does rise I come to realize That I was in a dream So I wait for the day Where I can finally stay In a world with closed eyes

Closed Eyes
If tomorrow brings the shimmering light from far across the sea Forget the land you stand upon and let your soul fly free If today is all we have, we shall keep it all that way For nothing is what it seems, unfortunate the truth may be Bring today what we’ve waited for The signs from up above Let loose the devils hand For all is lost in love
