There are some people
who are better left in your
heart than in your life

Press me against you
Like flowers in a book

I'd set fire to the air you breathe
so you can burn with every
inhale
and
exhale

Oh, shrill lark, just breathe. You rage too well.
Seek no comfort in wretchedness.

Renounce the gossamer moon, curse starlight
with a breathless voice - if you must - but let love be.

As the saddest tale fades after telling,
undistinguishable kisses fade like dewdrops.

Seasons alter, you will love again and love better
laughing unabashed, at the memory of this gentle injury.
BLT Marriam Webster word of the day challenge: Unabashed: undisguised and unapologetic.

when did i love you
become such a painful thing
to say and still feel
Enthusiasm

Try too hard, I understand

Take a step back, kid.
It ain't easy bein' green.

The Moon's smirk caught Leo's eye

You're more beautiful
And more outstanding and bright
Than you'll ever know.

You're worth more than you'll know. Just a reminder.

In our silence,
a love blossoms once again
in these two hearts.
True love's roots burrow deeper
than any absence that has
come between us.
