beth fwoah dream
like stars, her eyes following the path,
time moulded into its caves
the sky with its sapphire-mooned dome,
the rustling trees where the fast
wind swore and shook each crooked branch

here beyond the houses and the well-kept lawns,
the low walls and scrolled iron gates
the sounds of the night a bat’s wing,
the sagging wind gusting, smoke
peppering the sky from chimneys in a thin flame

or the jagged ice of a jaded moon
where the horses in the woodland
shook their manes, grey-eyed like
athene and her owl, untired as
a fog-spun sea, relentless and alive,

the trees and their ghosts around her
she held her breath, bare feet weaving
along the sandy track, dress flowing,
her arms covered in bracelets,
her lips, coral-pink, brushed in peppermint,

free to dream at last , eyes swallowing
the dark lines of the trees, hanging the dusk
from her eye lids, singing of the sweetness
of the night and its ragged clouds,
the raw dust of the moon.

her dreams were blue pools, the night
with its midnight leaves, her
heart longed to be free, to wander
through the trees as wild as the
horses with their stone-like manes

and sweeping metal hooves, brushed
with the inks of the sky in the shadowy
woods where everything was still but
not still, where the moonlight carved
its name in the woken tree.

When I think of you it stops
We were never as high as the tree tops
But I promise you that day my heart stopped
When you told me our time was clocked
My mind never comprehended
But yours made a quick decision
I’ve moved on to better days
That, I truly can say
My brain isn’t completely corrupt of you
And my eyes finally see blue
So In a few words thank you

i can't stop crying

i don't even know why

but the tears fall for an hour

and then they dry

and then i'm waiting

til it happens again

til i'm flooded with this feeling

of my mindstate caving in

They say love finds you
The moment you look away
But I dont believe that nonsense
Still I'll wait every single day

They say that true beauty
Cannot be seen
But I'll still sit here changing
Myself seam by seam

They say that friends
Will simple come and go
But that won't stop me
From refusing to let them go

They say that memories
They are the sweetest things
But they aren't as pleasant
As spreading your own wings

They say that life
Is what you make of it
To keep working till the end
We can't simply quit

Thats what they say
To you each and everyday
But the question is
What do you say?

We are
Simply like
Coffee and Vanilla
One so Bitter and One so Sweet
Though together we make quite a treat

First boy

He was my first
Love
My first
Heartbreak

He was the first
Boy who made me smile
Yet
Cry a thousand tears

He was the first boy
To keep me awake all night
That left me
Feeling hopeless but full of light

He was the first
Sunset at the dawn
Glowing with colours so bright
But he was also quite capable
Of being the terrors of the night

He was warm
Chocolate brown eyes
His smile set blaze to my heart
But all while tearing it apart

He was cold
Stringing me along for fun
Yet even so I loved him
I never wanted to run

He was a mixture
Of bitter and sweet
Just one taste
Had my knees falling weak

He was my oxygen
The air that I breath
Without him
I was consumed by grief

Though now
As I walk these halls
I know to him
I mean nothing at all

He was the first boy
Who left meaning in my heart
I'll always have a soft spot for him
Eternalized within memory as the boy who was once my sweeheart
All of the memories
Flowing back

dear reader,
if you’re going through a breakup
in an unhealthy situation
or it’s just complicated
this is for you:
if they don’t make time for you, don’t make time for them.
don’t sacrifice your heart to someone that wouldn’t do the same for you.
if they’re not treating you right, find a way to love and respect yourself enough
to get the heck out of there.
if they say they will change and they don’t change after 3 or 4 times, don’t let your heart get broken anymore.
learn to know when to let go, and if you don’t love yourself, you sure as hell cant love anyone else.
(writers note: none of this applies to me, just some stuff i think would be nice to hear for some people :)
