Fall is beautiful.

But we forget that everything is dying.

They say that from the ages of 18 to 23 you meet a lot of temporary people.

To be completely honest,
I hope that I will not be just another chapter in your book,
And I hope that I will never be just another story in your amazing life.

I have met enough temporary people in my life,
And I don't want/need you to be another one.

How can I let
The demons from the past
And the ghosts inside my head
Keep me
From enjoying what has been placed in front of me.

There was no light in sight.
There was no fire to follow.

For we became the fire,
And then became the sun.

If this is all a lie,
Then this would be the sweetest lie
I have ever tasted.

If what we have is not love,
Then may I never know what love is.

Perspective
Elijah Nicholas Oct 2015
And out from her mouth
Came the kind of song
That connected the heavens and earth,
The mountains and sky,
And space to eternity.
Her love didn't make sense,
But it was perfect.
The kind of perfect that left you breathless
After a good hard ****.
The kind of perfect that left you gasping for air
After the world has tried to drown you
And all the stars were cheering you on.
Poetry, and rainbows
Are not suppose to make sense
But if you look at it
From a different perspective
Then maybe,
Maybe it will.

One day
Elijah Nicholas Jan 2015
You'll leave.
Whether it be you take your last breath here on earth,
Or as I watch you fall in love with another.

Whatever it may be,
Just remember these moments,
These stories
We are creating.

Let it engrave itself into your heart
And let it flow through your veins.
I love you

And if I were to say
What my heart, mind, and soul
Has been dying to say
For all this time
I wouldn't know how to stop.

Maybe it is too soon,
But if you knew.

If you knew.
Here's a hint: just look into my eyes and you will know.

I desire to be known,
But I fear when they get too close.
I desire to be found,
But I fear what they'll say when they see what (who) they found.

Journal #3
Elijah Nicholas Oct 2014
There will always be that one person who will touch you in those deepest, darkest places that no one has ever touched before.
There will always be that one person who, whenever you hear their name, will break your heart all over again.
And along with the heartbreak, the memories of you and them will flood your mind once again.
There will always be that one person who you will literally tear down all your walls for.
The person who can bring down the rain, and then call down the fire.
The person who you would do anything just to feel their hands again,
And feel them right next to you.
There will always be that one person who broke your heart,
But you would do it all over again,
Because it was so worth it.

Then I am drowning.

then God,
Elijah Nicholas Aug 2014
out of nowhere,
came down from his throne in heaven,
and found me in the upper room.
in the midst of the storm,
in the midst of the chaos
he slipped through the walls surrounding my heart,
and whispered,
"I love you so much.
I love you so much.
I love you so much."
Thank you for loving me when I had every reason not to.

Why waste my words on the dead?

Why construct and string together beautiful lines for the ones who brought me pain?

If you didn't want it then,
Why would you want it now?

Is it strange that I find more comfort in the dark,
Than I do in the light?

Is it strange that I feel more at peace in the dark,
Than I do in the light?

Is it strange that I feel whole in the dark,
But not in the light?

Is it strange that I have found love in the dark,
And love has somehow, miraculously, found me?

The hallways of my heart still whisper your name.
Tucked away inside the crevices of my soul,
Are the memories you and I made.
Buried away in the back of my mind,
Is your bones and a picture of the way you looked that night.

If they ask, "What is the best part of your life?"
I'll point at your tombstone and say,
"What could have been."

I traced the outline of your fingers,
and I forgot about every single hand that had broke my heart.  

I tasted your lips for the first time,
and I forgot about every single goodbye that was ever said to me.

I looked into your eyes,
and I seen the next sixty years of my life.
