To be a young girl
drawn in by Death
Her innocence still radiant
And flowers bloom where she walks
Yet she yearns for something
More careful
Than the chaos of spring
Enchanted by cold and called by Winter
She trades her blossoms for
Quiet
Unaware that her flowers now bring only tears

You could never stop drowning me
With your eternal lies
But oh! Your eternal eyes!
Pierced my shallow heart.
You told me that you loved me,
the most permanent of all scars.

the sun will always fall away
beneath the horizon.
it will give way to the night, which upon entering, you will hear the melancholy song of the isolating darkness.
listen.

the dim light of the moon shines softly down upon the rolling grass.
yet the sky knows the earth is not enough and so she painted herself with stars.
portraits so obvious you might miss them.
promise me you won’t miss them.

when you stay awake at night wondering if the next morning will come remember.
the next morning will always come.
and even the nights offer beauty and wonder.
you just have to be awake to see them.
stay awake for me.

Sometimes I feel
An inescapable loneliness
Only to be taken off my mind
By the seductive nature
Of pain

If Fate were ever to be kind,
If Hope could ever stay alive.
If You would please stay in my life,
Maybe I’d find my peace of mind.

And I just want you to tell me,
did I waste more time loving you?
Or missing you?

i want to be the rain
the rain that falls for miles
and lands on your gentle face
for just a split second

i want to be the sky
the sky that is always there
forming a soft, blue blanket
to keep you safe

i want to be the moon
the moon that watches over the night
and soaks up all of your lonely thoughts
with my subtle light

i want to be the sun
the sun that reminds you that each tomorrow
may not be a guarantee
but at least i am
