I’d like to kiss you
If that’s alright?

You’ve always left wounds to fester.

I’m in a better place now
I don’t know if it’ll last long
But at least now I know
I can do it alone

Her heart ached
for many reasons
But above all
It ached for you

Why is it that
Stone statues look like flesh
Yet people feel like stone

Before I fall
Hug me close
And kiss me under
The Sakura petals
Please don’t forget
To look at me
The way you do
Before I fall
Once more

Don’t worry dear,
I’ll always keep you in the back of my mind
And in the forefront of my heart

I always hated the feeling of falling
But you made it a little bit easier

Underneath the layers of charm and smiles
He was flawed
Cracked like a porcelain cup
In rough hands

Fragmented nightmares and dreams
Plague the darkness
Or perhaps they were memories

Memories of soft lips pressing against mine
A boy with startling blonde hair
And shocking gray eyes

Memories of fingers clinging desperately to me
Promising over and over to protect me
As I quiver; cheeks wet with fright

And when I wake
My whole body feels as if it’s on fire
And yet I can’t see the flames

Your eyes are fogged up
Yet they seem to see
Right into my soul

The candle sputtered
The flame flaring up
Attempting to escape
From it's everlasting
Perch on the wick
Before it finally
Died out

______

She is turbulent
And tumultuous

She is stormy
And chaotic

And I was wrong
To think I would

Be the one thing
She wouldn't destroy

She is turbulence


______

I seem
To have
Forgotten
How to
Breathe

But you swore
You swore
You wouldn’t
Give
Up
On
Me







was that a lie too?

Death is never
Too far
Or
Too
Near

It’s always
Busy
And it’s always
Searching

Let go
Before I
D
R
A
G
You down
With me

Don’t you see?
Falling is the same as Flying
There never was a difference to me

Your soft hands held mine
And it felt
As if for one small moment
Everything was right
In the world
