The best thing about the English language is how you can say the most without even using it. And how the two things that make us most human, love, and the life that sits inside of us, can sometimes be switched and mean the same thing.
"I live here."
"I love here."
As in, this place, that came about more slowly than anyone could understand, holds any hope or goodness that was ever apart of me.
This place, the only moment in time where you can correctly lose parts of you that were never made to give away, keeps you there the rest of your life wether you know it or not, regardless if you ever choose to return to it.

But of course you will.
You go back almost every day, and listen for sounds no one could ever hear, you take in every beam of light which had no intention of sliding it'self into such a dark pool of hair that floats so gently above the spine, and yet how could it be anywhere else?
And how could you ever not notice such things?
The world itself is it's own piece of life, and every time we forgot to see it we come closer to being incomplete, we come closer to dying with so much left inside of us.
And if you must die, do so with no dreams left to speak of, with no life leftover to silently wither away in an eternal quiet, and with every word softly landed in every place it was meant to be.
Sleep, shivering lion
Let the silence of the warm night
Bring you all the hope you need
Sadness will wait until the morrow

Let the moon
Look down on you with kind eyes
For it knows what it is to be alone
And so tired of shining
Of being cold.

Sleep.
Lie by the river
Wet your brow
Wish the water over you
And breathe clearly for once

Sink
And only swim in the morrow
Sadness can wait
Dream

Live the sunken lives of your ridden days
Watch the stars twinkle on your paws
Never wake till you're ready again
Gentle, shivering lion.
Sometimes being depressed is exhausting and being alone is suffocating. We all need time to let the fever break.
I know not how to fix this,
Nor do I know how you feel.
I know not what you think about me,
I know not if this is real.

I do not know if its self imagined,
That we have something unsual.
Between the emotion of love and doubt,
Some sort of intense confusion.

Sometimes when you look at me,
Your eyes say it all.
They say "stay, i want you here"
But when you look away,
I fall.

Maybe someday I'll know how to fix this,
Maybe I do already but im in denial,
It maybe once im in love with someone else,
But I fear that wont happen at all.

You love me—you are sure—
I shall not fear mistake—
I shall not cheated wake—
Some grinning morn—
To find the Sunrise left—
And Orchards—unbereft—
And Dollie—gone!

I need not start—you’re sure—
That night will never be—
When frightened—home to Thee I run—
To find the windows dark—
And no more Dollie—mark—
Quite none?

Be sure you’re sure—you know—
I’ll bear it better now—
If you’ll just tell me so—
Than when—a little dull Balm grown—
Over this pain of mine—
You sting—again!
Take me for a ride

Somewhere far, where spirits reside
Populated by death, yet lively at this time
A forgotten land where your soul is the guide
No more reason to hide, I see a ghastly fog in high tide
Past lives occupy this land, physical bodies cast aside

I just wanted to be free, a victim less crime
Escaped from reality, my ride booked ahead of time
I drifted from my body, to which i'm no longer assigned
No longer confined, a comfortable frame of mind.
Yet my joy is overshadowed by a shroud of malign influence

I feel emptier than I ever have before,
The spirits seem to implore for their previous rapports
What have I done? What have I left behind?
My entire world dissipated in the blink of an eye
The vitality of my identity of which I said goodbye
I now long for, death ensued my hue and cry

Had I known, I would have never set foot on that ride
I'm sitting in the space of my eldest brother
Sorting water dameaged hockey cards
While I softly sing another
Song we grew up on
That nobody seems to like anymore
Not even the cards

This is what life is like
It seems less fair than it is
But I'm grateful for
The leftovers in my fridge

I'm the last one to come
And the last one to go
I'll be the last one
To say "I love you"
In a chapel
And I wouldn't have it faster

As long I'm dry
And as long I'm fed
As long as I'm breathing
I am at my best
I am at my best

I got in entranced by a girl I should have known better
The very same soul of whom I'd said "never"
And she is loved by my hearts brother
I'm going to a place we traveled together
But he's not with me
No, he isn't with me

We all have dreams

Some larger than others
Some oversized for my size 10 feet
These water damaged hockey cards
Are my only company
