one day, he’ll realize how stupid he was
letting her go and instead starting a war
Laughing instead of crying
Pretending that it isn’t tiring

one day he’ll realize what he lost
when he sees how happy she walks
Courted by another man
Falling in love all over again

one day he’ll start to feel jealousy
as he watches her joy breathlessly
Wondering where he went wrong
Never realizing that he made her strong

one day he’ll understand love
even if it’s not with the one who he hurt
Come across old pictures to burn
He’ll find himself begging for her
one day he’ll realize everything he didn’t do

With you, I want to dance in the dark
Rekindle that special spark
Remember when we first met
Watch a breathtaking sunset

With you, I want you to know my love
To tell you what I dream of
To let you know what you mean to me
And then let you love me eagerly

With you, I wanna watch the stars
Down here, from afar
Watch the clear night sky
In your arms I feel I could fly

With you, anywhere is home
Whether right here or in Rome
But I just need you to know
I'll follow you wherever you go

fly
one day i wish to fly
so far away, i would feel myself high
drown in the air, drunk on the blue
sorrowful hues and empty do's

one day i wish to fly
across the seas and into the dry
wet and cold, i'm convinced that i won't die
twenty years of age i live forever like wine

one day i wish to fly
abandoning, wishing goodbye to life
hello, immortality
bathing in my kind of reality

one day i wish to fly
gliding, smiling into the winds of the shrouded sky
twice a year i fly to nowhere
finding the  sanctuary that i finally deserve there
one day i wish to fly

her eyes, her eyes shine bright like the galaxies
in her eyes there lays the universe that dreams
swallowed pride, empty sighs

Why won't he see how he shines in her eyes?

love and appreciation leaves her to bleed
twenty-one years of age, he promises not to leave
but yet as time clocks by, he sees fit to say goodbye

Take it as a soul reaper as he snatches her whole

leaving her bleeding in this cold universe
destroyed by the promises made by empty kisses
For my ex-boyfriend, J.H.

heartache, they say could weaken the soul that bears
Wondrous adventure, masochistic nightmares
somewhere in between I know that I cannot share

The heartache that I swear would never leave me bare

so take me in your arms and try to protect me sane
from that endless bittersweet pain that would never go away
For J.H.

I close my eyes and breathe the air
cold against my skin, warm in my lungs
I breathe out and open my eyes
clouded with sparks of vapor,
I see my problems disappear until the very last drop

Twenty years of age I become
wise and unknowing, strange in places
Crying over loss and love
grieving over death and life
Smiling because happiness is a tragedy

Words and words twist relationships inside out,
crushing hearts and crushing not once but twice
Who am I to expect a return in affection?
when all I have given is divine possession?
Sophie Mariff Sep 2018
Eyes that reflect more pain than love
oh, how I want to change the emotions that they shadow
If I take my heart out to gift it as yours
would you take it to keep it or would you steal it for show?
Those lips that melt the ice inside my soul
dream, dream, dream is all I fear of this day that ticks by slow
for they are nothing more than vivid memories that soon be perished
in a passion of night and day
For J.H
