i hope the butterflies that used to occupy my stomach sing you the lullabies i will never be able to sing again, for my voice has bade me farewell as soon as you left and has left me with a void that cries out for you; my lungs now gasp for air and my glass fragile heart has shattered into a thousand shards that thirst for the blood that used to run through my veins like honey.

i hope the butterflies guide you for a million years, for i will love you until the end of time.

it’s almost like a game of tug of war, only to watch the opponent let go of the rope on purpose to watch you fall.
it’s almost like a daisy that is about to bloom, only to be blown away by a hurricane the next day.
it’s almost like a complete puzzle, only with a missing piece.

they say the pain goes away after it has taken everything from you, so i guess i can say that i’m halfway there.

“how did you get over him”, they asked.
“i’ll tell you when i do”, i answered.

I can't sleep
Everytime I remember your words
They snap and recoil
And hurt me awake
Next time when someone
Promises me forever
I'll just smile
Look them in the eyes and ask
How long is forever to you.

Fire
You ripped it
my pretty little heart -
but that's okay because
now I can pin it
to a wall
and scream
This Is Art.

He reached out with a leaping heart to the sky,
He wanted to fly

He wanted wings,
preferably blue,
Oh, how he wanted to see the moon

He always imagined how the world from Above would look like,
if only his visions were not so

dreamlike

He had a unique world view,
Oh, if only I could see it too

He dreamt of a world with a turquoise hue,
almost like the color trapped in the cobwebs of his eyes, a beautiful captivating blue.


His fantasy turned to reality
when his butterfly wings could no longer support
his limitless glee
as he gave his final plea

My angel, solace has taken you from my hands and granted you angel wings
and you will forever fly

I shall finally see a smile, instead of a battle cry.
