tame your demons
broken voices
persistent choices
mix your familiar freedom tones
do not trust all that you see

sun block the arrows
blind as night
clear as day
shadows created by your light
water pulls you with the moon
limping along like whitened coal

stealing stars
on borrowed time
familiar faces break into pieces

character confessions reveal your judgements
ice cold face teared with drops
licking flaming all that is

look at the stars
                              isn't it bizarre
I see you up there
like a tiny flare
                              in that huge sky
-
you left me
                              in this world to die
                                 we could've gone together
                                         but just like the weather
      you're unpredictable
     but isn't this just typical
-
                I believe in love
                  so we will reunite above
as our children will gaze at us
I gaze at you
well, I technically mean that person is dead. just saying if you don't get it.

your hands tighten around my neck and my breathing stops.
i think for a moment that this is love.

you have always punched, kicked, slapped me. i just don't care anymore.

this is love to you, but
this isn't love to me anymore.
would it be possible for you to help me find every little piece of myself?

I read somewhere,
If you can't sleep at night
It's because
You are awake
In someone else's dream...
and Now I Know
Why I am
Still wandering
In the hour
When the night breaks away
from the day
and the orange streaks
Paint the sky with color
My Dear!
Can you stop dreaming of me?

Today I let go of someone special
I tried to cling as hard as I can
Just for that person to stay

We argue
We fight
I plead

But when a person wants to leave
They leave with determination
Never looking back
Never in my dreams we end up like this breaking each other up

i find it funny
how often i speak of love
when i myself
don't quite know what it is
and don't quite know what the difference is
between romance
and romanticised.
