Of poetry
and prose
his words
remind me
Every time
we talk
I bloom
like a rose

in the sea of love we fell
we didn’t swim very well
we looked for a lifeboat
maybe it’d keep us afloat?

but we wanted much more
once we reached the shore

for eternity
we weren’t meant to be

our paradise
was built on
white lies
and compromise
yes, we lived through
grey skies
but we didn't realise
in our eyes
the truth lies

I read their words
and realise they also live
in some of the worlds
that I thought were only mine

Your chapter still remains unwritten
Not because you’re forgotten
You come to mind too often
I just don’t want to share you yet
You’re the one I want to hold
on to for the longest

whilst many are
waxing lyrical
about the moon
and the stars
i'm hugging trees
i'm rolling on leaves
if you want to know
how much i love you
look at a tree
how it still gives
even when being
cut down

I wish I could write down
how you make me feel
but I’m scared I’d go back
to it every now and then
and remember...
