get over your hill
and see what you find there
with grace in your heart
and flowers in your hair

tea bags wait
patiently,
they sit
in their mugs
abandoned
as hot water pains them gracefully,
it begins to encompass them
they struggle for a reason to hold on.
but little do they realise
how helpful they are
tea serves as good company for the lonely girl
surrounded by books
and memories
on a cold winters night

there are no such thing as days anymore
and weeks have ceased to exist
instead my life has blurred into one weary monotone drone
that drives my mind to the point of self destruction
making me crave pain

*bruising my dainty bones.

I want to watch the stars
dancing in your eyes
as each colour
of your complicated iris
collapses onto another
the stars regroup as constellations

the constellations guide me
through a lonely winters night
as I stare up at the moon
and hear your promise
that stability is coming

your eyes
the colour of cold sea
draw me closer
i think that they are the sea
I am likely to drown in
and watch a curtain of bubbles
*pull me under

the birds still sing
      in the early morning
but it's colder

the stars still shine
       in the dead of night
but they're dimmer

we still live
       in the daytime
but we're weaker
                                                    -ds

recently i have been observing
people
and i have come to notice
that everybody has a story
of monsters and of dragons
the battles they have lost
or won
but some
are too afraid
to tell their story
because what they fought
is their thoughts

the demons
which plague their minds

there are people to meet
in the vast landscape
beyond the horizon
is someone you will fall in love with
or out of love
of both
there are countries to visit
seven contents
all placed under the same
worn down constellations
which guide us
there are memories to make**
with the people you will see
in the countries you will visit
which will change you
morph you
into someone new
someone better
someone wiser
but none of this will happen
without *birth

I like books
and the way they allow you to lead another life
with twists and turns
and a happy conclusion
so I never read the final page
because that way they live on in my mind
*forever

the broken smiles around me
remind me what it's like to be alive:
that there are mountains to vanquish
and stars to watch fall
because no one gets out of life
alive

as I've grown
I have come to realise
that the truth is not what it seems
the world is not a safe place
for someone like me
so I suppose that this
is our *reality tale
