The rain came down, tapping the window as if to get our attention.

The lightning flashed to the beating of our hearts, in sync, in pulse. Faster and faster.

The clouds stirred above our heads, and the darkness comes to life.

But we don't turn, though the rain birthed a mote for us to witness.
We are not blinded, though the lightning flashes the vast sky.
And we can see, though the darkness is evergrowing.
Right into our eyes.

Absolutely nothing in this world could come between.

They can say what they want,
It doesn't matter.
Two ways,
Two.
Death or Want.
If you want me to go,
If I die.

The only ways I will ever not be there.

I'm not like the others.
I think I'm lower.
I'm not like the others, I'm foolish though I love you so..

eileen
you must love the control
you must love the lies
you must love the mind games

brainwash me
brainwash me

my life is a dream

everything I know
unfolding
a lie slips out

tell me again
your twisted fairytale
sounds so real

your magic
doesn't work on me

I love you
for trying

all my life
I fed off your tragedies

your shadow
your reflection
I broke the mirror
and cut myself with the broken pieces

it's not your fault

you must love
you must love it

Dad, I want to ask.

When will it mean something?

This love won't matter,

Will I end up like you?

Or like grandfather?

Did you ever find her?

The one you love most?
Recently someone told me, that love won't last a lifetime at my age. I won't find the real thing till I'm older? But if that's true, why do so many end up alone when they're older?

She wore a baggy sweater, on the cold colorless night. Walking down the corner of ******* boulevard and  litter lane.
Bleak as it always was, she dreamt of wearing a red dress to give color to the black and white.

But she was too afraid, and she didn't.

I don't want to be king for a day,
or to have all the riches in the world.
I want you all to myself,
for a day.
