Ten seconds to fall in; still trying to climb out.
Inspired by the song Litost by X Ambassadors.  And every girl I've loved.
Sometimes you have to be alone to escape the loneliness*~ Amitav

trying to begin to explain the color of your eyes
to a group of blind people
in only 26 delicate letters
would be an extremely painful and difficult task

the color of Wednesday afternoon skies
in your old rusty car
telling secrets
palm on palm

or maybe the color of your favorite rain
the cool drizzle that sprinkles onto
your elegant face like a beautiful veil

the color I feel inside
now that you're gone
and you left without saying a word
burning bright May 2014
We sit in deafening silence
And look on painfully
Is there anything left in this dust,
or is all already forgotten?

All of the pale faces in the room
but yours is the palest
And no one dares to look your way
with denial, they try to escape the madness

I know how they feel
After all, you were a part of us
And I know that we're in for sleepless nights
That they will blame you for abandoning us

But there is something they don't know
That's why I don't worry
You have evaded this tragedy
So for sorrow I do not long

Now I hope that you're happier
That you have found your peace
Because if faith was more cruel
You would still be here.
Sometimes death is not the worst thing.

I am afraid
My lack of confidence
Makes me

⠀             i thought blue eyes
           were the most beautiful.
             then i saw your brown.
              and let me gladly say
            your eyes are like oceans
               and i want to drown

Let me gaze into your eyes
and watch the galaxies expand
~
Let me smell your scent
and carve the fragrance into my senses
~
Let me feel your skin
and draw fairy tales on it with my fingertips
~
Let me touch your hair
and slide the silky strands through my fingers
~
Let me hear your voice
and memorize the enchanting melody
~
Let me taste your lips
and etch their sweetness into my memory
~
Let me love you entirely
*for you have taken all of my breaths
You bring me to life and deprive me of my breath.
