I want my heart broken open, apart on the floor
valves spilling out sunlight pouring out from my core

my warmth comes from you, your limbs and your spine
you pull me in closer to find what we hide
The laughter of the black birds,
And the hum of the wind
Moves the dangling willow tree
To canopy her from her sin.
The leafy umbrella conceals her scars,
Comforts the lady in tears,
Whispers sweet words of a lullaby,
Left to linger throughout her ears.
Every time I see that picture.
I fall in love with you all over again.
But then I realize.
You never even stumbled in love with me.
gliding on pointed toes
the atlantic coast
stretches on and in
my stomach when
i'm sad
because i hold an ocean
this sorrow reaches deep
how could i ever tell you
what was in my chest
that night
when the atlantic
drowned my words
and i gave up
my fight
i was lying on the street
with cracked ribs and cold feet
never thought i'd had it in me.
heights, never really my thing
but not as terrified as people think
it was a peculiar notion
to see if i could fly
like so many birds before me
but here
with this stinging sensation
coursing through every inch of my frame
i realized
quite quickly
that my wings had
been broken.
Recollecting those times, those memories.
Your essence, your spirit, your touch;
On my mind.
Feelings of nostalgia overwhelm my consciousness.
Trying to block you.. it.. out.
Forgive and forget, a saying unknown.
You've taken this time, you have grown.
Me? Still stuck running in place.
Faux smile on my face.
Trying to erase; you.
A love that was lost
May yet be found
Please when you cry
Make not a sound
Stand strong with your feelings
And rise up to the call
When you're thinking things
Please don't let your world fall
I'm not changing my views
At least not now
But I'm starting to see cues
That this will all work out somehow
Fana no iro Fa
uturi ni keri na
itadura ni
waga mi yo ni Furu
nagame sesi ma ni


The colour of this flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life goes by,
As I watch the long rains fall.
