There're so many ways to fall:
Like a leaf,
Graceful and meandering, gliding through the air
Like a rock,
Quick and intense, plunging towards the earth
Like a maple seed,
Dropping sharply, then dancing and twirling the rest of the way
Like the rain,
Incessant and constant, a perpetual barrage
Against everyone, everything

There is strange beauty in nature
Such power in these spring storms
The trees are still-
No quaking branches,
Not even shivering leaves-
Everything seems lifeless
Until a flash fills the air
So bright it could be a photograph
...
Yet nothing follows
There is no thunder, no rain
Just the empty promise,
A hint of what might come
An odd compliment
To the silent and still trees,
Breathing life into every crevice
With each illuminating strike

Oh, my darling
Let me heal your wounds
And dry your tears
For you are worth it
No matter what you think
Oh, my darling
You are brighter than
You could ever think
But you must fight the shadows
That follow the light
Oh, my darling
You don't have to do this alone
Let me in, let me help
You mean more to me
Than anything else
Oh, my darling
Please don't give up
As broken as you are
You are my northern star
I need you to find my direction in life

Surrounded by people,
but I couldn't be more isolated
Groups are by far the loneliest
places in the world

The earth seems to stop when the person you love, who is currently dating your best friend, asks you why you don't have a girlfriend. You need to scream, you need to run, you need to ******* breathe. But most of all, you just need to shrug and say "I don't know," and act like you haven't been phased.

one little cut,
just a tiny little sting
hardly enough to even break the skin
two little cuts,
one deeper than the first
still not enough to finally quench your thirst
three little cuts,
this one hurt some more
how long until three becomes four?

I need convincing I'm worth it
I need someone to fix me
I need to know I'm wanted
Please be the one to help me
It's tearing me apart

She has constellations on her skin
And galaxies in her eyes
She is a work of art
Worth more than all in The Louvre
Her hands touch everyone's soul
And her laugh is a breath of life
She's astounding, yet doesn't know it
Your dream used to be
To show her her worth
But now she's gone
And left you in the shadows
