The jungle surrounds like a blanket,
A palpable being
Teeming
Suffocating

Becoming one, a being in nature
Surviving on instinct
In the thick, overwhelming wildlife
Treading deeper into the heart of darkness

Breaking through to the river
A golden glow, a haze
A magnitude so great through a narrow gaze
Enough to force a shiver

It’s the fact that you know
And it changed nothing

It’s the fact that your eyes
Will hold mine for just too long

It’s the fact that I am so in love
And all we will ever be is friends

It’s the fact that you see me for the fraud I am
And know that the apathy is only pretense

It’s the fact that I am alone
And I see you in togetherness

And I am alone

i believe love will find me again,
but i'm not convinced it'll be happily
ever after.

- i don't believe in fairytales
