Words meant for you, I told someone else.

When I should be in your arms, I find myself lying some place else.

"You speak
    to me as if
       you're
            afraid
    we'll fall
               in love"

The horizon...
   
  ..at that place where the sky meets the sea,
    you'll find me.

  I'll be there resting.
  
                   With my heart
                                in my lap.

..but life happens, and
            promises don't matter.

Later we learn,

         that bottles break; and
         those pieces can
         shatter...

                               further.

I kept everything hidden
Stacked behind the thickest wall i built
It made me felt safe
It gave me all the hapiness in the world
Until one day the wall leaked
Suddenly im sitting somewhere alone
Pathetic and sad

The spaces behind it is no longer empty
All these painful memories rushing are making me weary
There is no running now
There is no escaping now
As a single tear drops from my eye
I realized the price i paid for that wall
Was myself

What a gift,
to be alive,
to feel alive.
Being alive is the true gift and the reason to celebrate every single day.

Sink to the bottom;
Blues, green
Away from the shallow;
No more hallow;
Feeling the full weight
Of the deepest part.
Life of a mermaid
My tail beating against
The bottom forcing sand
To cover the depth.
Let me rest in deep.
No answers to be had.
Just rest for my weary self.
