Isn't it sad that we're so broken inside that we're suspicious of everything that makes us happy?

The world is still beautiful
I see it in the way
sunrises reflect off of mountain icecaps
the way families celebrate birthdays each year
the way words spill from mouths painting poetry
The world holds beauty that I see
her faults don't make her less lovable
the same goes for you and me

Your eyes speak to me
They whisper all of the little secrets you wish to say, but cant
I know you feel the tension too
The way you look at me, is the same way I feel about you
But what is this game we are playing?
This tug of war with our emotions
One step closer and pride pulls us back quickly
If only we can knock down these walls we both built to stay apart
If only we didn't fear love
If only we allowed it to open our hearts
Instead you and I are complicated
We're too stubborn to see eye to eye
These words could be easier to say
But I can't let you win
So I play because you play
And until someone can put their pride away
We will never know the words we both wish to say

i act like deleting texts
means deleting feelings

but i think i'm just avoiding them.

I LIKE TO SAY YOUR NAME

I like to say
your name

when you're
not here

turn you
into sound

conjure you out of
thin air

so that you appear
before me

dressed in sound
only

memory sketching in
the rest of you

as if sound
was just an outline

and love
colours you in

adding the voice last
so I can hear you say.

"Hello you..!"
and there you are

as present
as present

can be.

I like to say
your name

when you're
not there.

candles light up her room
it smells like herbs
and flowers

fall is her favorite season
she enjoys the rain
while dancing trough the woods
barefooted

she's one with nature and the sun
but in love with the moon
