the snow falls outside
and covers all it encounters,
but will it ever be
as pure as white should be?
can it make me forget that
I have a dark past?
can this frigid frost
cleanse me all the same?
I'm cold as the winter
that surrounds me;
will snow bring me warmth?
No, I don't have much faith
in the snow anymore.
not since I saw it
piled high on tombstones
and empty swing sets.
in fact I haven't appreciated snow
since the last blizzard
that poured down on memories
of us,
as I made snow angels
in images of your smile
and went sledding
in the sound of your voice.

The pain reminds me that I feel,
The scars, that I will heal.

You dissolve me into a beautiful nothingness.




And that terrifies me.

Her mind was like the ocean, in that, there was so much more they had yet to discover.

•Reflections•

Comfortably numb, he floated amongst the sky. The darkness reflected in his soul and the stars reflected in his eyes.


But there was an overwhelming peace that was found in the darkness. An emptiness inside him that finally felt whole. There, he found his nightmares suppressed and his suffocating emotions put to rest.


And in the loneliness, he somehow found company. The stars accepted his melancholy madness and his heart was inspired by their glimmering confidence.


He watched and danced in amazement as they eagerly caught the wishes and dreams that were sung from the world below. Full of hope and desperation from those tired hearts that beat slow.


His lungs embraced the open calmness that covered everything that slept above and he was enveloped by something majestic, he could only describe it as love.


The brokenness inside him mending with every breath that he breathed. His body was weightless, beauty encased in everything he could see.


And he realized in that moment, he had finally found the place he was longing for, the place where he could infinitely be free.

•Soulmates•

Looking at him, She thought he was everything she needed in life but in the end, he was what truly drained the life from her eyes.


Overcome by the shame of her ignorance, she flooded the pages with her tears. This is why she never loves. This is why she only fears. This is why she never opens up and why when he opens his mouth, lies are the only things she seems to hear.


**** soulmates. The only real gift love brings is suffering. The ones we would give anything to have, cause us the most pain. It's a foolish cycle that never seems to break. And no matter how many times we fail, it's always from this same mistake.


By now, you'd think we would have learned. And from this stupidity, you'd assume we would have turned. Sadly, there's no hope for the things we can't change.

It's ironic, yet strange, if I'm being quite honest, though, because, you see, the more knowledge we try to gain, the more we actually seem to go insane.
