All I know
Is how
I feel

And sometimes I
Wish I
Knew nothing
An elephant was tired,
He sat down in the forest
And crushed a megapolis of ants into oblivion.

You take my breath away
You sweep my feet out from under me
You catch me by surprise
When I look in your eyes
And I see
That you believe in me
Want me to succeed
You freeze all of the pain that is hibernating in my heart
You melt me down until you see nothing but emotion
Give me potion
That shows my weaknesses
Forcing me to turn them into strengths
And fate has brought you to me
Just keep smiling and I promise you'll never lose me
You know exactly what to say to bring me out of my dark place
And that's not easy
Ask anybody who knows me
You make my pain subside
And I realize
That I'm alive when you are near me
But you don't even see past the wall that's called friendship
You have all these dudes talking to you
But I'll treat you like a princess
I want to defend your honor
Harbor all the feelings I have
And write so they can make sense
Because honestly you've taken my sense of direction
My moral compass leads directly to you
Throw that thing in the garbage and I'll still go directly to you
You see you might not see that I believe in you and me
And if there is a you and me
I swear to love you unconditionally
You have my head spinning
And in my dizziness I only see you
You are the bright light that brings me out of the fog
You are my North Star
I look at you
And I'm home
It is a harmless
bloodbath under the moon,
when you stop moving.

Ripples on cheeks
deepen in the fog, that will
settle on red eyes.

Someone should
lift the burden of life from
the trembling hymns.
Climb aboard and take a ride
We soar high above the sky
Looking at the stars flying by
Soaring across the Milky Way
Just close your eyes and say
I’ve got this, my future awaits
Guide me to where I’m meant to be
I bow my head and pray
I’m thankful for my life everyday

Fly me
To the sun
You always like to
See me burn
As I
Fall
My future without you is so bright it’s burning

Living through
The darkness
The grief
The loss

It's a way
Of dealing
With all that's
Lost forever

Even though the
Memories won't fade
It's a beautiful thing
To see a rainbow

All the colours
             Smiles
Tender words
             A comforting hug

For the lonely
For the sad
A smile is almost
As beautiful as a rainbow
