It is cold and dark in the morning.
Night passes from evening until noon,
Short hours of daylight in June -
the clouds reveal sun without warning.

timid, meek, the deer
who make trails in the forest
and know more than fear.
in a language, "strong heart" conveys courage.

seduced by that
innocence
sounding so cruel like deer who
do not know to wait
they run head on
and live or die by chance

that is always the fear -
not even the timing
but the doing

an entire world is waiting
on the other side

so admire the grass
say things
ask.
dreams don't often come walking

In moments of drunkenness
I dared to speak the truth.
He's nothing more or less,
not an argument or proof.
He's just a black mirror
inside a house of cards
see nothing but my beer
lost in broken shards.

snow falls in a blur,
and the emerald pines' allure
calls me out to her

There's nothing I can really own,
I ache at something that wasn't mine; no memories to recollect and no sound of voice that I could memorize, not even a light could stay within.

And even the sky changes its color, it doesn't even own the stars.

this is the part where i say something romantic
like i rather bear great heartbreak
at your hands
than never be with you at all

but the truth is
i rather live a lifetime of longing
questioning, "what if"
than to really know
the answer
