She is situated by the window with her eyes fixed on the empty night "When did this happen?" "You're asking the wrong question." She inhaled all the despaired air, and it becomes her. "Shut your eyes. What do you see?" "Darkness." He does not recognise her, and neither does she. "Is this who you are now?" "Maybe."

irony
more damage is done with every drag say those words you can never take back fill your lungs then suffer an asthma attack smoke what you started then raise your white flag

ashes of fights
a fimiliar ray of warm sunlight settles on your face it doesn't really matter where we are anymore you feel like home, and a love that will last for the rest of my days sudden anger and pride cause us to give each other too much space. don't you realise, distance was one of our biggest mistakes? the best is yet to come, but nothing good's come yet - i wait for better, until after the sun sets and the clock breaks. dream state is now where we meet - with unclear beginnings and endings of what we speak. illusions are uncontrollably building up in my mind. god knows, i'm just trying to put the past behind. encounters have become ever so brief, you forgot your home and i forgot how to breathe

ghosts
three days of sunshine, teasing, and grins stretched from ear to ear then five days of glaring, thunderstorms, rain, and tears.

snowstorms in the summer
I'm shaking and I don't want you to make me feel better I don't want you to hug me It snows and you don't want me to keep things from you you don't want me to be scared We walk and I don't want you to think I'm a child I don't want you to be burdened by me It's late and you don't want me to leave you don't want me to be with someone else I'm home and I don't want to fall you don't want me at all

I deeply inhaled every tobacco filled air you ever exhaled. How twisted is it that I'm attached to a stench that's suffocating? Nicotine doesn't seem so addicting and harmful when compared to you.

You're in a hallway with endless doors, some are open, some are closed. They look inviting but you'd rather find the one that pulls you with force. you come across my room, and you wait there patiently like it's yours. "You don't have a key," I said but he ignores. You sat out there and waited so long I started to wonder why you did that, and if we would get along. I talked and whispered, through the door I didn't open it yet, incase something went wrong. On the days I was upset, you'd slip notes to tell me you believed that I was strong. Slowly, our friendship began but still the door was shut, and I sang my song. Two years passed before you asked if you could come in I gave it some thought then nodded, with a grin. You told me that you only stuck through because you knew you could win - but it wasn't true, you cared so much that I was under your skin. Then you wondered, interrogating me, "Do you feel the same within?" Maybe you were still unwelcome, I wasn't sure, you couldn't take it and your patience started to run thin. It wasn't all my fault, but I'll share the blame. I miss you, sometimes even if you think time's changed and we're not the same. Do you remember the time I got mad when I overslept because we stayed up to watch the game? The time you gave in to my music, after insisting it was lame. The memory I'm most fond of is the one when you offered me your last name. I wonder if you still walk in that hallway, and if now, you walk around without an aim.

You are like lightning, electrifying and charged, shocking when you strike. Despite being so evidently natural, you're aware you're rare. You will be gone quick and it'll rain harder after, you are that powerful. For the reason that, you brighten up my dark sky - the trouble's worth it.

you've destroyed a lifetime friendship you've destroyed an unborn friendship and as much as I want to destroy you; I'm not the one with jealous bones in my body
