From you I learnt
that true love was
and endless cycle
of hello and good night.

Yet you and I
were stuck in a vortex
of stay and goodbye.

Wise men can tell you
of stories in the stars,
how life began on this earth
and that love is an imbalance of the heart.

These wise men drank wisdom
from the pages of age-old books.
They spent their lives learning of
what others know not.

I
see you in stars.
My life began to get me to you
and I don't care what love is
as long as it makes sense to you.

I spent my life knowing that of you
what others will never know.

I read your scars
like a lover's braille.

And I am not wise at all.

I watched as you
cast yourself away
one step at a time;
with my gaze fixed
at your dauntless irises
how could I have known
that with every breath
you were drifting further away.

The clocks ticked away,
and all I have is the last of
second chances.

I watched as you slowly,
very slowly,
with such grace,
effortlessly,
faded into the horizon.

And all I have to thank
is the image of you
my eye lids were able to retain.

When I die, dear Mother
don't give my body away
to science.

I'd rather have it given away to poetry.

I want people to cut me open
and observe
how my bones were riddled with
melancholic verses of joyful pasts.

They have to see
the scarlet of my blood was the hue
I stole from the sunsets of
wishful thoughts.

Dear Mother,
give my body away
to the art of writing:
for they have to look past
everything they have ever learned.

They must know
of how much I loved and I lost,
and how that made the twine of my ribs
a story to tell.

making sound from silence
to promote beauty
Speaking up for the voiceless

When you feel like if the world’s words **** you
And you feel like rocks are dropping on your head
If whenever you stand up and you feel like falling
Then I’m the one you need, so come to me before leaving

Have you ever felt like you’re dying?
And the only thing you need is to be love
Have you ever thought about coming to me?
If you are felling down then come to me and I’ll comfort you

I’ve felt that way and I knew I could count on you
Don’t feel cooler that me and leave
Come to me before you have to leave
Count on me like I counted one you when I was hurt

Do you know a fact?
A fact for life? Boys, rule the world
But girls cuddle up hearts and save the love in hearts

Maybe if I just close my eyes
squeeze your hand
hold you
as tight as i can
(not trying to hurt you, never)
but id try to hold on
tighter than i would ever let you hold me
i can keep this
i can make sure we never change

i believe in the idea of embracing change
it has always proven true before
even the worst bruise will eventually heal
no mess stays forever

you are the exception
for if i lose you, what else am i?
i am me
i am not dependent, no
it is just that me is a whole new person with you
better than ive ever seen
thats one thing i dont want to change

so if you notice me squeezing
closing my eyes at the 11:11 mark
(the same wish every night)
just dont let go?
dont question it
and we can let everything change and grow around us
any change with us
we can do together
