Even if you are strong,
you can't stop pain
from coming.

to do
on your to-do list
one more phone call
to make
after the end
of another long day
one more email
to read
when your eyes
were already blurry
one more person
to squeeze in
a busy schedule
that has
no room
you were
her everything
until
she became
one more thing

Have you seen darkness?
Felt darkness,
Been in darkness.
That quiet place in your mind,
Where butterflies die.
The emptiness,
The loneliness,
The place where children cry.
Where the villains lye,
And heartless men go,
The place very few know,
That's the darkness.

"Don't tell me what people said about me,
Tell me why they were so comfortable telling you."

When strands of night become day

Deepest purple turns to lilac gold

Quietly chasing away the lingering white of the stars

When ragged day becomes night

A fiesta of reds and orange

Boiling into the heavens beyond the horizon

The gentle dawn and the evening carnival

Inviting humanity to stop and gaze across the ages

United in a simple act, the colour of wonder

Fate, I do not know your name

Remove the stars

Shake them from the heavens

Like brightest rain


Cover me in a glittered cloth

Of fire and light

Set the night

Ablaze


Remove the dark

And let me be that spark

Which sets the heavens all aflame

this world spins way too fast
my head turns a little too slow
