an unbelievable sight
an indescribable feeling
tell me what would you do
if i didn’t hold you tight
i can tell you the truth
take your heart and confuse it
walking, running, and tumbling
on an unstable ground
it’s a new us
our neverending story
nowhere else to go
but here with you
i’m not afraid the waves will swallow me
understand when i say
we will get our chance
tearful, fearful, but beautiful
a journey we can see
it’s a new us
there’s nothing keeping us here
i’ll chase you anywhere
i’ll be right there
will you catch me when i fall?

*there shall be no ignorance
in my fair, lonely skies
for love might be blind
but justice is all eyes*

*prince of the forest
growing inside of me
antlers feel like gold
to my searching fingertips
stag caught in headlights
warning signs on hazel eyes
yours were even bluer
than the bluest skies
hunters with silver knives
chasing our bumpy trail
but your hooves fast as light
they chased to no avail
young deer kissed the fox
yapping at its feet
predator and prey
in peace can finally meet*

north
find me where I'm most alone
before my fleeting feelings
turn to stone
east
don't let me turn the other way
if you ever think I'm slipping
hold my gaze and make me stay
west
hold the coffee to my nose
the warmth smells like home
and keeps me close
south
don't you ever say you're sorry
for taking care of me
for helping to melt away
the ice I was meant to be
*be my compass
guide me for our sake
for you're already the direction
I want my life to take*

seeing you there
smooth skin, long neck
reminds me I still care
about all the pretty things
i'd forgotten were there
and so, tiny flower,
with the biggest heart,
if looks could kiss
our lips would never part

*we're used to disappointment
our eyes shine brighter
without lights to guide them
we'll hold hands when we're done
when the moon isn't the only thing
capable of outshining the sun
the night whispers in our ears
and the days rush forward
turning into years
we're used to disappointment -
we can't find stars in clear skies
so we don't need them to guide our eyes*

*and at the edge of madness
they offered him a hand
tragic acts of kindness
for with him
they later
sank*

when they speak of your soul
as monstrous, as unkind
i stare at them in confusion
for you don’t really come to mind
both victims of a kindless crime
it’s no surprise we lack the tender
touch that others seem to crave
to which we won’t again surrender
i’ve got diamonds in my mouth
and by your tongue were they delivered
they’re rougher, there’s no doubt,
than the look your eyes have whispered

tell me,
will you waste
your last breath
saying you're sorry
or will I drown
in your misery
while you save yourself?

she walks
focused, undisturbed
empty roads once filled with life
touching the walls of her memory
searching for one more laugh
ignoring one more cry
she remembers
as clear as the sky
a boy blond as the sun
fast as a thousand horses
but couldn’t outrun death
she still wonders why
she hears
echoing in her ears
her father’s peaceful music
the gentleness in his voice
that made her feel at home
when leaving wasn’t a choice
she sees
her mother’s stern, blue eyes
above her big, warm heart
one that in such a world
she needed to hide
to play the part
she reads
from the very first page
words that opened up her eyes
ones that never leave her mind
for they remind her of the brother
she could never leave behind
she hopes
the world doesn’t forget
all that’s written in a book
for all she really wants
is to keep alive the people
she loved while she could
