when will we
break free from this
no longer be held back
or imprisoned
by what once made us so happy

that was then
and this is now
if you can't accept your present
keep living in the past
but I can't wait much longer
before I lose my mind

it's been so long
I'm not sure who I've become
but don't worry
if you ever allow yourself
to start living in your present
maybe our paths will cross
and we can walk together
for a moment or two

but for now
this is my adieu
to you.

Don't give in, sweet child. You've gotta keep your innocence; don't settle for maturity. As you grow child, allow your imagination to do the same. You mustn't give in to this reality; there's so much left for you elsewhere. Don't settle for what's easy. It will become all you know and there's so much out there that'll take a bit of hardship. But don't worry child, I know it'll be worth it for you to go after something that's not easy. So many of us stay with what we know, but child, you gotta be different. Your soul will keep you strong, keep you going. Allow yourself to get lost in love and get lost in the beauty of it all. Oh, child, let go of everything you've ever been told about this world. This time, it can be whatever you make it. It's time to let go of everything you've been trying so hard to hold on to, child; it's the only way. She will always have a gripping control over you, until the day you don't let her anymore. Oh naive child, there's so much more than what she allows you to see. Before you're lost forever in the sea of reality, remember one thing. If it doesn't burn your soul or make your heart happy child, move on. You need something that's gonna allow you to grow. Oh child, I know you're different than us. I know you'll find what's right for you. when you let her go, child, don't say goodbye for good. You'll still se her from time to time and you should thank her. She helped you find yourself. So don't give in, sweet child. Don't get lost in this reality, there's nothing here for you. You'll find your own symphony to travel with you. Find your life's melody and never let it go. Carry it with you throughout your life. Maybe we'll meet again one day, sweet child, and you'll see I was right all along.

I need an inspiration,
a reason to keep going.
All this hesitation
is spiralling uphill.
The softness in the skies
leave me wantin more.
I need a reason for passion
and a passion for reason.
This can't be how I'm meant to be.
The words.
They don't flow like they once did.
There is an underlying effort
that's put forth
with every stroke,
every word,
every line.
Make me feel alive, as I did long ago.
Be my inspiration.

In the depths of our uncertainties,
lay us down to rest, but we will never sleep.
For it is the souls within us
that keep us alive.
**** us so, but softly not.
You've got to make it hurt
if you're ripping us apart.
We are the inglorious,
the indifferent,
the rustling of leaves on an autumn morning.
We shall not be revealed;
the aftermath could be unruly.
Bring us down one last time,
so we can walk
among you.

How naive not to believe
that there's more than you and I.
A world so illuminated by life
we can't be alone.
Surrounded by infinity,
we are nothing in comparison.
Take your money and take your greed.
All I want is in the sky.

For a brief moment in time,
they were one.
No longer separated by night and day.
In that flicker of time,
they were free to be together.
A love so radiant it could burn human eyes.

As the overbearing grip left him with an illuminating glow,
it was all he needed.
The breath went still; heart no longer beating.
He left with a smile on his face and peace in his heart.
For years, his love was lost.
She came back to let him go.
Once gone, she now knows it was always him.
No one else.
She lay her head beside him,
as she drifted into sleepland to be with him.
Reunited once again.
Lovers.
Friends.
Souls.

There may never be a picture- perfect moment.
You may never wake up
in a magical fairytale,
and there's never going to be music
to accompany you in your daily life.
But this life is yours and no one else's.
it is unique and incomparable.
you are simply,
marvellous you.

Take a breath,
don't shutter.
One day, you'll see.
There's more beauty
than heartache,
more love
than despair.
Just look a little
closer,
feel a little
harder.
One day, you'll see.

Is this what your mind perceived?
A world so fragile;
So desolate.
This utopia you dreamt of,
Wrote down every fragment;
Every detail.
It was planned so perfectly.
Now your dreams
Have been washed away.
By the waves you thought
Would bring you joy.

Come back to me, my love.
You’ve been gone far too long,
And it’s half-past time
For your return.
Bring back your beauty,
Your inspiration, your passion.
The tides coming in fast tonight,
I’ll stay by the lighthouse,
In case you get lost.
You can find your way back to me, love.
I’ll light up the night sky
With all the embers burning in my heart.
There must be a way,
You can return to me.

I can’t see
Through this constant darkness
Your illuminating glow
No longer lights my way.
Maybe this time
It will be different.
We convince ourselves
We lie to ourselves
We deceive our hearts
Into seeing what we want
Instead of what we need
What we need, though,
Is nothing like each other.
We don’t bother with thinking
That’s too sensible
After all,
Sensibility is for the strong.
--and we’re so weak.

She could really use you right now,
There’s something in the back,
Of her overflowing mind
That’s telling her it won’t be okay;
If you’re not there.
She needs to know
Just how proud you are
Of the little girl you left behind
She yearns to know
That what she’s doing
Is what’s meant to be.
She wants some reassurance
In her overwhelming life
She’s been playing strong
For far too long now.
You can’t leave her much longer
Before she falls apart.
If only you knew,
You’d be here with her now.
Giving her hope,
Giving her what she needs.
Even for a moment,
It could change everything.
She doesn’t have the strength
To carry on with such
Disposition,
Her heart aches for better days
She’s never dreamt like the other children,
Her wishes were for something worthwhile.
They wanted fun and games—
But not her, no,
She just wished to see you once more
To hear your voice,
One last time.
By now it’s too late,
She knows you’re never coming back.
You’ve moved on,
It’s time for her to do the same.
