The rain is falling
Here
Under this tree where
No one can harm or
Disturb me as I'm protected from the
Everlasting shield of
Reaching branches
Sometimes the rain seeps through
To fall upon my head but that's
Okay because I'll always
Remember how hard it tried to keep
Me
Safe

You are the pour of a hot cup of tea on an autumn morning
You are every poetic verse poured onto one single sheet
You are the cool pouring rain on a warm summer night

Laying on the bathroom floor
With cold tiles to my back
I think of all the things I'm not
All the things I lack
I roll over on my stomach
My cheek pressed to the floor
I dream of all I could've been
How I could be so much more
But then a though occurred to me
That others may think the same
That somewhere on some other floor
Someone else is wanting change
This then led to deeper thought
Which made a lot of sense to me
There's a reason we are this way
We're all the way we were meant to be
Every one of us is different
But in the end we're all the same
All together we're beautiful
And beautiful has no name

Time is such a treasure
That's quicker lost than found
And when it's gone you search again
For whatever's left around
A second seems like nothing
When you have plenty to spare
You never learn to value them
Until they just aren't there
A minute isn't that much more
So you toss them left and right
And then you're scrambling to find
Enough for one more night
An hour can be wasted
As easily as breath or speech
But when you have to count them down
You learn to make the most of each
In the end I find it easier
To always value time
To cherish every single second
Of every moment that you're mine

This house
This house is yours
This house is mine
This house is open anytime
This house is happy
This house is whole
This house welcomes any soul
This house is home

Wind tumbles leaves from their branches
Like a hatchling from its nest
Sometimes nature's like an alarm
Pushing us from rest
But one thing I have learned from this
Is that the world knows what it's doing
It gives a little shove when needed
And into our future, we're parachuting

I love life the way it should be
Where we all have a soul mate
Where when we're born we see in color
Until our other's fate
But for me it's quite the opposite
I've never seen color a day in my life
All shades and highlights and different tones
Of the same old black and white
Eventually I somehow came to terms
I accepted my colorless scheme
So you can imagine how startled I was
When my reality took after my dream
I opened eyes to meet light shades of morning
To instead have them flooded with ***
I was bombarded by all of these new tints and tones
I couldn't ever select a choice one
Though after the initial shock of it all
I was startled once again more
With the realization that I finally found you
The someone meant to color my world

An aching present in my chest
A dull pulling at my heart
I've never been this far from home
Or from familiarity so vastly apart
Every breath is dragging out a little
And my feet along in sync
Flashes of home are taunting me
When my eyelids rest briefly to blink
So far from home, from comfort, from safe
Nothing's numbing the disorder inside
I've left early to make my way home
Continuously hastening my stride
Finally surrounded by home again
In the comfort of my room, my bed
I'm safe and sound but something's off
The ache within isn't dead
I've finally pinned what the problem is
Why my heart remains askew
Despite the turmoil in my troubled mind
I've found that home has left with you

Every night now I fall asleep
With no one around but the stars
I think of how unfair it is
That they get to be where you are
They get to see you and wish you goodnight
And greet you with the rising sun
I've always simply admired the stars
Now I wish that I could be one
I've started drawing my curtains closed
Just before the sun dips away
But I've forgotten of all the plastic copies
Which over my bed hauntingly play
Squeezing my eyes closed just doesn't work
Neither do clouds in the sky
And it pains me to know that I'll never be one
No matter how hard that I try
