If I could right you a letter
Oh the things I would say
I could spend forever in your arms
What would you say
You're not ready
But I'm in no rush
You've captured my heart
And all I have are words
Look in my eyes
Innocent touch
Falling in love
Oh
what have I done
Stephanie Hutson Jun 2017
For all the injustice in the world
For all the cruelty surrounding me
For the lights burning out
For the stories untold
For the way my heart longs for a hand to hold
For every trial
For every change
For every empty stage
I weep

My heart is breaking
It had begun to heal
With the admittance of a chance to feel
All swept away
Like the sand in the wind
And My heart is left hollow and broken again

My heart aches at the thought of you
The thought of your words in the quiet Autumn air
Like a leaf drifting through me like a sweet symphony
drifting in and out of my memory
The thought of your smile, your laughter filling my heart with joy
Just the thought of your skin
Sends A tingle down my spine
The thought of your hands
Connecting with mine
Like snowflakes silently landing as our lips touch
Just the dream of you
The thought of your kiss
Like a flower
Rising out of a long abandoned garden
Pushing through the warning signs meant to  keep you out
I feel your pull on me like a rushing tide
I need your breath like I need mine
The sunbeams you call compliments
Showing me to love once more
But will it last or be left on these forgotten shores

We ended rough
Like the dreams of dried maple leaves
So let me tell you this
Thank you
Thank you for warming my heart on cold nights
Like hot chocolate in the rain
Even though the illusion of you
Took the whole of my brain
Thank you for the long nights
When I couldn't bring myself to stop reading your words
Or going over them again and again in my head
Thank you for letting me hold on
Little do you know the many times you saved me
Even though it killed me
Thank you for showing me that someone could care
Even if not for too long
Thank you for teaching me to see the stars
The moon and every constellation lit my way through the darkest nights
Thank you for the good memories
From frisbees to video games
You made me smile
You made me cry
But most of all
You were there
Now I have people to turn to when times get tough
The more distant moments when I remember you're not here

I'm sick of letting go
So why oh
Why does my heart keep trying to fall
I know what it feels like
The high is like you've never known
But the adrenaline in the fall
Never lasts long at all

So why oh why do we try
My heart keeps trying
And I'm just dying for you too see
That my appearance isn't me
No
My appearance isn't all there is to see
There's more to me
There's more to me

So what does it feel like
To never look at me and never see
My dreams

I need positivity like a sunflower needs the sun
So what do I do when I'm given none?
I'm fed poison and breathe out joy
Bringing life through photosynthesis
Using my outward appearance to make people smile
But I'm cut at the stem
To be given to some much more special than I
And slowly start to rot
I'm given as a gift
Once I wither away and my fresh scent is gone
They throw me away and keep moving on
No one thinks about the sunflowers

Until they're gone.

I'm Higher than a kite,
The lighter brighter than my future,
The night sky is falling,
I'm dreaming of darker times,
But at least for a moment I forget,
I'm dying to feel alive.
(I swear I don't do drugs)
