I saw a child today, clutching for his balloon;
He was grasping at air, yet he was so close, too
But it was too far out of reach, just like you.
just a short and sweet piece that quickly came to mind.

I would paint your sky a thousand colors, if I could
And inspire the restlessness in your heart;
I would give to you a million stars, if I could
If I could, I'd gift you a new start.

my sweet boy is lost to me
or i am lost to him
as it once was
before together we were found
so shall we be
once again
found together
forever

Even sunflowers grow tired of
praising the sun when it rises
and mourning it when it sets.

That I take you
With
No exceptions
No conditions

you were a sailor of the stars
who scooped me up into your arms
from cosmic whales you rescued me
and plucked me from their sleepy sea
I was a damsel in distress
the common living human mess
I was too much for you to bear
and so you tossed me back with care

“Why do I love” You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.

Because He knows—and
Do not You—
And We know not—
Enough for Us
The Wisdom it be so—

The Lightning—never asked an Eye
Wherefore it shut—when He was by—
Because He knows it cannot speak—
And reasons not contained—
—Of Talk—
There be—preferred by Daintier Folk—

The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—
Because He’s Sunrise—and I see—
Therefore—Then—
I love Thee—

You were ice
And I was flame

You play it cool
While I'm overly uptight

Can we stand against the world
Together?
They say we can't be
But tell me they are all wrong
Paradox is what we are and they don't know us

Why are you
All the constellations in the night sky
I've been searching for?

You are my swirling black hole in the space

Make me twirl,
and get me lost

So very lost in your eyes

Sleepless nights and dreary days
Was this the only way?
Stained eyes and rampant thoughts
Not only truth has these visions brought

We saw too much, we learned too fast
It will never be left as the past
Warped realities and dreams misconstrued
A covenant is what was brewed

We endured these restless nights
Hoping this idea would set things right
Were these trips we took in vain?
Now we question : are we sane?

We saw too much, we learned too fast
Never knew what would last
Through the light and through the veil
We were shown darkness can't prevail

We were given that for which we prayed
Countless choices we never made
We should have never played this foolish game
Nothing will ever be the same

We saw too much, we learned too fast
Never did we guess what was cast
Fleeting remnants we cannot survive
I'm surely glad were still alive

Did we waste our time?
Driving down the darkness
Searching for an answer?

Heart confused,
Brain amused,
Hands trembling,
Memories crumbling
Yet my soul lays untouched.
Bones cracking,
Words attacking,
Thoughts burned
From what I learned
yet my body is still intact.

A gun only holds so many bullets.
How long until you run out?
How long can you let
bullets spiral out towards
yourself?
Will the last bullet go through
your head?
Will it be by your hands?
Or his?

The Raven Tears
If I had told you that I was in pain,
would you have helped me? Held me?
Cared?

If I had told you that I believed in you,
would you have believed me? Stayed with me?
Cared?

If I had told you that I was bleeding,
would you have listened? Fixed me?
Cared?

If I had told you that I was a liar,
would you have minded? Ignored me?
Cared?

If I had told you that I hated you,
would you have reacted? Left me?
Would you even  *care?
How will you distinguish my truths from my lies? But it's too late now... These are the words left unspoken
