Heartbreak filled with hope
Home is where the heart cannot
No more hopeful memories
Hope shattering
Leaving behind only broken glass
Shards of mirrored memories
Slice delicately through my skin
Leaving nothing but the scars
Scars from the greatest sin
What is a sin?
Harming others?
Conformation?
You want me to be like you
Bleed like you
Yet my blood runs black
Black as the night sky
Where I feel at home
The night sky
Scars fade to look like stars
Stars in the night sky
Save me!
From him?
From myself?
How do I save me?
How do I save myself?

I long for the tender touch of your fingers against the flesh of mine
I ache to feel your warm embrace
I loathe the distance between us
Yet distance makes the heart grow fonder
Could I be fonder of you, my dear?

I’m a hopeless romantic
More hopeless than romantic
You see I revolve around this
Silly little cyclical cycle
Spinning myself this silly little tale
Yet when it comes to the game
The chess match that is flirtation
I falter…
Knight to a simple hug
Pawn to longing for more
You see I don’t want to lose what we have
The times we spend together
I savor every moment with you
Stealing glances from across the table
Peeking through a hand of cards
You see when we first met
I didn’t mean to fall for you
You were a clear harbor after a sea full of storms
And I took shelter in the port of your friendship
After a while i found myself dreaming
Deep in the forests of your hazel eyes
I only hope that one day you’ll see
I paint constellations in your freckles
I dream of running my fingers through your hair
Your laugh reverberating behind smiles
I dream of one day being yours
But I settle for my weekly stipend
One gentle embrace
From you

It makes my flesh crawl to hear you
Yesterday, you know.
He should’ve been at the funeral
Friends and relatives of the missing gathered
Like a flame made weak by lies.
The good news was pounced upon and passed on
It couldn’t be a coincidence
The man's head had been sawed open
You didn’t close the door.
You let them in.
You killed him.

He caresses my thumb, as we walk down the autumnal beach
What made him fall for me I ask
You can just tell when you’re in love. He whispers.
What did you say?
You heard me.
My heart fluttered, Love.
Is that what this is
Love?

The World spins so fast that we can’t feel it
This planet we are standing on is moving at 1000 miles an hour
But we can’t feel it
It’s a constant rate of movement, no speeding up and no slowing down
Which is why we can’t feel it
The earth is just spinning,
and we are just a passenger
Moving throughout space on a giant flying rock
No control over where we will end up
No control over where this rock is going
Yet we just keep moving forward
Launching ourselves at 1000 miles per hour
Straight around the sun
Which seems to be a good motto for life
We should launch ourselves at whatever we want to do at full force
1000 miles per hour
Straight around the sun
Moving us forward
Step by step
Mile by mile
Year by precious year
The earth is proof that we can,
No
We will, make it through this
We will push through and live our best lives
We will.
