I am a sentimental freak.

And you,
o stranger,
tugged at my heartstrings.
For Devlin Andrew Harris, as well as those who plan to leave and have already left.

Your words were magic spun.
If only words could heal what actions have done.

Goodbye and may the light shine on your quest.
You might just be the most comfortable person in the world.
I leaned up against you
so that I could feel your heartbeat
and so that my head would rise and fall with your chest.
Your breath was warm on my head.
You pulled me closer
and
hesitantly
put your arm across my chest.
I could hear your heartbeat
perfectly in time with mine
And I swear
in that moment we were infinite.

I
   fell
       into
           falling
                and
                      I
                         can't
                               stop
                                    descending...

Falling is a momentum;
the faster you go the more you gain.
Once it starts,
it will continue to accumulate.
And you can never accrue too much,
too much failure.
To fail to succeed,
makes success a failure.
Therefore you fell into falling,
once again.
As my tears are brought down
Like rain in a thunderstorm,
My hands grab my head
Because the thunder is too loud.
The lightning shakes my entire body,
And my soil is no match for what lies ahead.

When will my sun come out?
Will it snow before it's warm?
I can't even feel what season I'm in
Because I am far from lost.
The wind is blowing my dismal thoughts
Around like they are nothing.
I'm over you in the same way I believe in Jesus,

My brain agrees with all the facts
But my heart can't quite agree it's true.
