21/F You will find nothing but honesty here
The heartbroken witch gazed at the flickering flame, unable to take her eyes off the candle slowly weakening. ‚And when you die‘ she whispered ‚Take my feelings for him with you.‘ It did.

witchcraft
She used to be a cloud stretched endlessly aimlessly so the people below would never know the sun. Every now and then she mustered up the strength to rain. Silent tears slipped from her incorporeal eyes. And the people below bowed their heads. And only spoke of the sun in legends and whispers.

Self love
Our shared moments have the life span of a lit cigarette, But for the very first time I don‘t grieve for the ember, that will never spark a flame. We were never meant to be a forest fire.

slow burn
She travels like the rain, never stays long in the same place, drips on ***** sidewalks and hums a rhythm on your window. And she speaks like the wind and she sings with the leaves dying on the trees. You wouldn’t catch her if you tried.

'I'm a good lover but not a good boyfriend and I wouldn't want to drag you down with what I'm going through right now. That's why I'm so careful around you. (...)' I forgot the rest.

lover boy
You will never read this, never know these words exist and that's exactly why I wanted to tell you right here that I cried for you. Last night, walking through a pitch dark park past other lonely souls, tear after tear I cried. Because I felt so helpless. Because I wanted to fall back in your arms but knew I never ever could again.

a secret
honey-hued hopes and stardust specked dreams, a sea of gray shapes inked solely by midnight blue magick and pine needle green fear. Emotions have colours and so do my lies, hand me some scissors I'd like to cut through these ties. Just as spilled sunrises the winds are always tinted in pale morning light. They talk to me as if dawn has yet to come and fragments of an indigo future are hiding in slumbering flowers.

coloured
it's late (as always) and I hear voices voices in the trees in the ever moving tides and the star-specked skies. they blur with the howling wind or maybe they whisper in secrets on purpose to avoid lonely ears such as mine.

we haven't been in love yet. we haven't been in love yet I wish time would spin for me not against, like a merry-go-round, round and round it spins until I'm in your arms. and butterflies are finally hatching inside my belly.

merry-go-round
as I drive by yellow fields shimmering in all of sun's splendour and the wonderful flowery scent of May hits me I cannot help but wonder how I could ever be sad between all of this.
