You weren't another animal in the shed
you loved even before your sight bled
not one to pretend you knew
your eyes only saw pictures that were true
and I wish I could've been so
yet bounded by my mind I never grew
but you tell me its not the end of the show
maybe still in a torn down cabin my world would brew
all my wear and tear in your silent chest I could stow
you wish nothing of me
and that's all it takes to make one want to be
and maybe one day we'll come together and be three

sometimes
the shadows in the corner of my room
kinda look like you
i feel stupid doing a double take
a person cannot become a shadow
but bees pollinate flowers and
mother birds feed their young
and
you used to hold my hand

a person cannot become a shadow
i do a double take anyway

Not opposite poles but similarities draw people close.
As there is so much scope to share, vibe and to do things together.

Sun beating down
the tide comes around
with the gusts of
wind—adrenaline

rushes by as the sea
hushes the rustle of the trees
and the blinding rays of gold
lining the clouds above

Like a tear in the blue
And the light shining through
The comfortable blanket
the tangled net

That is a peaceful day
Coming to an end.

I am going on a journey.
Suddenly, it dawned on me —
what if I die?

Abrupt. Unnoticed.

Is there anything
I could leave behind?
Other than grief,
than sadness,
regret?

I realized — no.
I have none.

So I stood up,
braced myself:

I will not die.
At least,
not today.

You not only gave me purpose,
You silenced the cries from my bleeding lips,
made my eyes glisten with joy, not tears.
grew flowers from the burnt ashes in my skin.
You encased hope in my unraveled brain.
