Irish Hi I'm Lacey ! / I love to read and write. / I'd love to become an author but I'm not sure I can.
She looked at the leaves in autumn And she saw their colour But not that they were falling, And when they got  caught in her hair, She liked how he picked them out. She looked at the snow in winter And saw snowmen that would not melt, In ice castles where they would live, Until the cold set in and killed them, But they said that love was worth it. She looked at the flowers in spring And wished he'd given her just one, On the anniversary that he forgot, And when the petals got caught in her hair, He didn't think to pick them out. She looked at the sun in summer And waited for it to blind her, Because she didn't want to see the falling leaves That he crushed beneath his feet, As he walked away.

The Idle Love
I love you , I said in harsh whisper that echoed Till you heard it back But it was merely a repeat and so all meaning was lost Oh reality how cruel you are to allow us to dream I had tied my own future to yours As if that made it true And then you told me And I knew You were willing to give a heart But any heart of yours would be mechanical A makeshift heart you ordered for emergencies As yours was given Long before I

Makeshift Hearts
Inside a watch Time ticks by oh time The glass presses down Cutting off the last gasps of us Who is me I hear the clicks of the second hand I think He has made me to lead those Or maybe I am not a leader Or a follower Perhaps I am just a brain A brain , Are you oblivious to my lack of knowledge ? Why would you make me this way And the seconds , minutes, hours Change my soul

Insanity is Inside a Dome
My stars are covered by a delicate covering We spun with our obsessions Invisible until true acceptance (Acceptance that comes easiest to those in denial) We search for these fiery beings above us Until truth We bend and break and are renewed In a beauty we do not , dare not , see

I travel your caves , Some deep - Some shallow. Most stray away from your dark Exterior, That induces terror , Implies death. Those who cannot see your beauty - who Has known this world and pasts , We run instead of learning your knowledge.

To Travel Inside A Mind Or You
You are too much to avoid being shy . You have thrown yourself into a shallow ravine . - Not so much false proclamations of love as exaggerrations of like. Patience is the key But you care to much Building cities of glass

Shatter
Ember smotherd by coal You cannot hope to win but still you fight Hoping that you  can start a light That will grow to radiate a Purifying glow. As if you ever stood a chance! They pace and watch you See you are no great danger There was once a flicker but the sparkling dance soon faded As  Cold and Dark invaded , Still you fight so tirelessly it is hard to tell Whether you will give up to perhaps be reborn - Or be  strangled for your eternity by your efforts

The Story Of A Flame
I wish to speak your language, More so to be fluent I'd whisper words I fear to say - The risk being you would understand My heart will not speak , It is silent A Weapon , It can turn on the soul so easily .

If I Could Talk To You
I wish to speak your language More so to be fluent. I'd whisper words I fear to say The risk being , you would understand. The heart does not speak however. It is silent It is a weapon. It can turn on the soul so eaily.
