I guess I’m like a houseplant
I’m fun for a while
But if you forget about me
I wither and die

I’m dependent on you
And the attention you give me
I’d love to be a wild plant
In a garden, beautiful and free

I’m not as social as the plants outside
I only have the ones I’ve met through you
I spend my days looking out the window
Sometimes seeing you return with someone new

I’m not very popular with the other plants
My leaves are yellowing and my dirt is dry
I’m left in the corner of your windowsill
To slowly be forgotten without knowing why

Wish

Lying hand in hand
Looking up at the night sky
Grass soft against our backs
Watching as the stars fly by

A shooting star here
And a shooting star there
We close our eyes and wish
In the cool night air

Some people wish for love
Some wish for fame
Some wish for immortality
And for the world to know their name

I wish for the same
As I’ve done many times before
I wish for peaceful growth
And not anything more

I wish that this night
Lying here with you
Will help me grow and shape me
As few things would do

Greetings

Who can outrun Death, the patient old god
Who dare not face him when their end has come
For what is Death but a helping hand towards something new

All we can do is prepare for the next adventure
We are given all the time we need, for it is he, Death, who knows what we need

The world is cruel and demanding, but he is patient and kind
So do not fear, when he comes knocking on your door

For he knows what happens and would not send you onward if he did not deem it worthy of your time

Untitled

The frozen ground, rough under my bare feet
Grass cold and wet
The morning dew carefully balanced on each blade
Glinting in the cold morning light
Rays of sun hits my bare back
As scars and bruises dance across my skin

In the early hours of dawn I stand
Basking in the first daylight
I am chilled to the bone
And it is then that I finally understand, what it means to be alone

Silence carries through the forest
No hint of the life it once held
With every breath I take
I feel my lungs fill with ice cold water

I feel weightless
Like I’m hovering just above the ocean floor
Lightning is filling my head
And I keep my eyes closed
As I wait for the booming thunder to hit

Stand by my side

I want you to stand by my side
As my world burns

I want you to stand by my side
As I do my best to crawl out of the ashes

I want you to stand by my side
Even if I **** up and make a mess

Because the thing is
I don’t want you to save me

I want you to stand by my side
As I save myself

Getting through the storm

Do you hear the thunder, slowly rumbling over the hills? The music of nature, drumming in your ears.

Do you hear the splatter of rain, as the drops hits your face? The refreshing cold against the warm August air.

Do you stand there, waiting for the storm to pass? Knowing you’ll dry when the sun comes back.

Or

Do you curse the clouds for hiding the sun? The rays chasing away your shadows.

Do you feel the wetness in your eyes, willing yourself to believe that the rain is to blame?

Do you try to outrun the ******* clouds rolling in overhead? Try to hide, so you won’t get wet.

Theres beauty in pain

I look as good as i feel

The emotions i hid
just beneath the surface
a sickness most cruel
that made me so nervous

i saw the emotions
in all its twisted glory
and i truly thought
that those were the masters of my story

It wasn’t that i disliked
the way that i look
it was just my own appearance
that I for the emotions mistook

you see, i thought my face was wrong
my whole body too
but thats only because
all the emotions shone through

i never hated myself
but my features got twisted
by the emotions behind
that made me wish i never existed
