i'll linger

in the sun haze that sits upon the dust brushed flowers


i'll drift

through the glimmering water that flows so carelessly

...

will you

fly with the wind out to open skies

,

dance with the trees as they bend and sway

...

or will you stay

and live on

in this mediocre life

,

will you stay

and follow rules

with no second thought


it's up to you

be free
in a world of unique

or be a someone
in a world of billions

you broke me

with every word

that flew from your mouth


with every kiss

that you lay upon me


i was falling apart

piece by piece


but you didn't pick me back up

and mend me back into place


you just watched

thinking it was an act


thinking that i would be okay

I use to believe
that I was the only one
who could see past all the paper faces

That I was the only one
who dared to dream of a life
other than the one that was prepared for me

I believed
That I was human

But then I met you

You showed me that everyone is more than just what I could see

You said
"on the inside
each of us have beautiful unique minds
and troubling hearts"

You proved to me that I can lead whatever life I want

that I can take risks

But most of all
You made sure that I would never stop looking past the paper

Past the lies

I'm here
waiting for your death

waiting for your heart beat to drop
and your vital signs to stop

He was silent
consumed by the rhythm of music

His eyes were full of passion


He had this idea that he was inlove
but the girl he was falling for didn't feel the same

His emotion controlled him

He pushed everyone else out of the way
to try and catch her

but each time,
she would slip away

When he finally broke
no one was there to catch his pieces

so he fell
harder than before

and when he wasn't there anymore

she noticed his silence
and fell in love

I see you in the face of every broken child

I hear you in the whistling of the wind out on the cliff

I see you in the wilting roses that sit by your grave

I hear you in the crashing waves down by sea

But do you see me
out on the roof, staring up at the stars just hoping to find you

do you hear me
on the hills above our house, screaming into the distance just wishing for another chance


you don't
do you

because you fell
despite my effort to hold you up

you let go
when the world got to tough
and it pushed you to far

...

you let me go
