the riptides poke at their flesh
forcing their skins to open as it bleeds freely into the icy water
it ****** their fingers and stings to the very core
violently tearing the soft covers that protect their bones from shattering
their teeth crushing onto each other at uncontrollable speed, biting onto their lips and tongues once in a while making their eyes tear up
the murky water fills their lungs with each breath they take,
their legs and arms flailing, trying to stay above but it's too strong
it bites back and forces them underneath,
suddenly there's no more thrashing, no more screaming
just silence
and the water stills...
but no one comes back up

droplets of water touches my revealed flesh,
sliding down until it reaches the end and drops onto the ground beneath my feet
i can no longer ignore the heaviness in my chest as the rain pours onto me and you come into view
my eyes glass over and soon the tears mix with the rain, and
the wracking of my shoulders begin
i entangle my arms around myself as if i can keep my broken self together somehow
my eyes wander to you and you unfold your arms, holding them straight out for me to run into
without my permission, my legs start moving on their own towards you and suddenly, i'm wrapped in your warm arms,
my ear on your beating heart,

you place a feathery kiss on my temple and i close my eyes, savoring this moment
my short quick breaths could still be heard as the tsunami coming out my eyes still wreck my face and you stand there,
softly tapping your fingers on the small of my back, slowly calming me down until my breathing becomes regular
and the tears come to an end, but we still stand there
embracing each other, encased in each other's scent
silently speaking unspoken words

I explored all there was to see
cities, islands, mountains
there was a new place to visit every single day
each one full of life
I could see my dreams coming alive
but in my heart was a pang of longingness
I love all these places but at the end of the day
I just want to go back home and sleep in the same bed that I used to when I was a kid.

The music drifts my mind away
Each beat shuddering through my whole presence
Making my heart thump and my blood frantically flow through my veins
The city lights hide the dark shadows of the night
Bringing warmth and safety to the room
Like a big blanket that protects you from the things scaring you
People huddle in groups, all enjoying the ebullience in the air
Smiles and laughter could be heard from miles away
Not a trace of unhappiness on this beautiful night
I look around me, my eyes shining as bright as the stars
Smiling at the sight surrounding me
My stomach fills with butterflies and goosebumps trail my arms and legs
And a warm feeling ignites within me
This is a night, a moment I’ll never forget.

i recognize the hollowness in your eyes
pain evident in them
i recognize every wince or jump
when a sudden noise hits your ears
i recognize every smile you fake
and every laughter you force
i recognize the scars on your heart
i recognize all this because it was me who's eyes were hollow and full of pain
it was me who winced and jumped at every single loud noise
it was me who faked smiles and forced laughs
and it was me who's heart was scarred

I gasped for air
but there wasn't any left
all the oxygen in the world couldn't cure my need for you
for you were my oxygen, the only air I could breathe
and the day you left
was the day my heart stopped working
that was the day I went numb, and my body went cold

the sultry, soothing sound of your voice
overlies the war in my mind
masking my dark, hidden thoughts
and disguising them as soft-kissed words
instead of vengeful screams
you bring me so close to the edge, so close to breaking you
and yet,
here I am, surrendering to only you

hey my little angel,
how're you doing
haven't seen you in a while
hope I've made you smile
hey my little angel,
how're things from above
do you feel what I believe
do you see what I've achieved
hey my little angel,
things just aren't okay
I keep thinking it'll get better
but instead it's all the same
hey my little angel,
will you recognize me
when I meet you someday
in your land far, far away
hey my little angel,
make me see
show me the light
I won't give up the fight

never had somebody
love me like you
the way you take over me
is scary and new
the little sparks ignite
every time you come near me
i don't know what love is
but you help me to see
I've stayed clear
from the big L itself
nothing good ever comes from
keeping someone to yourself
but with you
i love the way it seems
i guess no one can ever stay away
from the root of dreams
