pastelclouds - Hello Poetry

suddenly the branch snaps and you fall fall fall but the ground never hits it never hits the vast nothingness envelops you but who are you to complain you know nothing about the dark right? you open your eyes grass beneath your feet it was a dream all a dream darkness only exists within those who no longer live and yet yet here you are a dead man walking the void lives on you are one now goodnight old friend please stay by the door i hope we never meet again

lullaby to the void

suddenly the branch snaps and you fall fall fall but the ground never hits it never hits the vast nothingness envelops you but who are you to complain you know nothing about the dark right? you open your eyes grass beneath your feet it was a dream all a dream darkness only exists within those who no longer live and yet yet here you are a dead man walking the void lives on you are one now goodnight old friend please stay by the door i hope we never meet again

you see, we're all young until our brains tell us we aren't and our bones crumble under our safety blankets and every pleasure in life becomes another ******* prize in the arcade game our eyes have been glued to for god knows how long. all the windows have been blacked out and the clocks stripped of their hands. it's all fun and games until they tell you you've been wasting your life. but what do they know. they've just been playing whac-a-mole with rifles clenched in their fists. your chest still rises with every breath and maybe we're all just young because our hearts haven't given into the anxiety consuming every last bit of our sanity. don't open your mouth, don't let them see your veins turning to black behind your eyes. i'll see you on the other side.

you can almost smell the rose colored clouds almost hear the whispers of sullen storms slowly changing the sky from champagne to silver, feeble strands of gold slicing through the dark heavens a crack! of thunder breaking through the loudening voices and the sky falls silent. blue blue blue the whispers reside dark silhouettes of the unknown take their places until the break of dawn

"dont let yourself break" they say through hardened jaws pulling their ropes tighter around you never letting you b r e a t h e because that would give you too. much. power. the moment you start to crack they pull tighter and tighter trying to keep your body together but eventually everyone breaks and everyone fails their test.

you'd think i'd know better than to stumble under his gaze but my feet don't listen my heart is so so impatient my fingers crave the touch of his soft brown curls you'd think i'd know better than to stare when he walks past my mother taught me better but she didn't teach me how to tame the curiosity of my hungry mind you'd think i'd know better than to fall for the boy who doesn't stumble who doesn't stare who knows better than to fall for someone like me

dance with the constellations until your hands are covered in dust feel the warmth of broken planets and the coldness of the earths crust be strong like atlas and hold up the sky's weight drink up the milky way and spin around andromeda's plate ride the comets across the sky and around the sun rest your tired head on the crescent moon and while you drift off, sing a lullaby to the universe as you become one

this is it this is happiness starlit lakes and starlit eyes soft fingers tangled through mine rose petals and dewy perfume heavy kisses beneath the moon 'good night love' 'sleep well my dear' burning love and growing fear shattered hearts and tearstained cheeks missing warmth under the sheets crooked smiles, no one can see a crossed out heart carved in a tree this is it this is happiness?

it's not as black as people say, more a pale purple grey, silver clouds and tires skies, teal lips and dark blue lies it's a whisper in the trees, a lonely boat amidst the seas, pastel waves hitting the beach, the golden sand just out of reach. tick tock tick tock the stars slowly decay look up look up the sky's been washed away.
