Observe, oh watchers!
Look up into the pale blue sky
Do you see it? Can you see it there?
The pale blue smile drawn out
The same twisted smile she wore
On that chill mourn
The seasons change; it is a constant cycle
Spring had come and still she haunts
I was first shocked by her appearance
Then a calm swept over me
Now months have passed and she
Rarely crosses my mind
And yet I see her everywhere
The flowers dance in the cool breeze
It is her breath whispering
The budding branches sway gently
It is her frost covered hair
And each blood red sunrise
Against the vanilla morn
Reminds me of the seeping wound
Against her lovely pale flesh
The seasons change
But the memory has still not left
It did not melt away with the snow and ice
But rather flourished forth
Like the flowers and trees
Oh how I await summer
When it is likely to burn bright as the days
And rest clear as the night skies

She’s radiant and glorious
Pure and gentle
But strong
Flowing hair
Soft eyes
A smile that would put the sun to shame
She’s neither too tall, nor too short
But stands just as high as a bride should
She’s confident and powerful
But open and loving
She doesn’t hide or lock her heart in a box
She is brave, and courageous
And confronts her fears and nightmares
She’s powerful and motivated, and yet she gives herself
She inspires and empowers
She never gives up or gives in
She has a heart that is focused on god and open to his influence in her life
She cares for others as much as herself
She loves, and does good
She battles evil in her heart, her speech and her actions
Her words are lifesaving
Her voice sings a tune more beautiful than any ever heard
She’s radiant, and enrapturing
Her beauty shines through simplicity and purity

You say “gross” but I see yum
Even when you feel undone
You will never be tasteless to me
My dear, you add so much flavor you see,
Sugar and spice, those things can be nice
But you are more, nothing else will suffice
After tasting your infectious personality
Nothing else tastes of such quality
You glowing, vibrant, radiant heart
What better place to start?
Adds flavor, and color to my life too
I hope you know, I hope you see it true
Your lovely eyes that sparkle and gleam
So pretty, nothing ever as nice will be seen
Your little nose, cuter than any button
[ignore this line, nothing rhymes with button]
Your gently mouth; your lush lips
That joyful smile, when the corner tips
Just slightly up, stretching, reaching
All this to say, my dear sweet Darling,
Even when you feel it to be
You say “gross” but I see yum
Even when you feel undone

Have you ever stood so close to the edge?

The smallest breeze… the simplest word could push you over

You don’t want to hold on, but you’re unwilling to hold on

You expect the first thing you feel to be the ground miles below

If even that.

 

Where are they? The one’s who “care”?

This is all only a cry for help really, even if you are willing to fall

No one to hold you back, every passing second pushes you over

You realize there’s no one there, who said that you mattered

Nothing was real.

 

You feel the sensation of falling, your stomach knots

You know what’s coming, you know how it all ends, you know why

“It’s not your fault you ended up here anyways, you were only a victim”

Why sell my strength? My worth? My pride? The ugly price

Of being the victim.

 

Where did the days go, where everything was just fine?

Surrounded by friends and family all day and protected through the night

Before one trouble scattered everyone, and left you alone in the world

Was it all a dream? Was it all a lie? Were you the one who was lying

To yourself?

 

No one by your side, nothing to keep you safe

This is how life’s meant to be though isn’t it? Everyone left on their own

“Where you end, or when it’s all over is only evidence of your worth”

Every memory, every lie, every fear, every insecurity

Is pushing you over.

 

This isn’t the end. Or is it? Is this only a nightmare?

Air stings your lungs, pain tears your heart. The tear on your face

The hurt on your mind. This has to be real

But why did you end up like this? You thought you were going to become

So much more.

 

And then you fall.

 

Fall.

 

Fall.

 

Only you hit the ground sooner than you should.

You don’t break the way you should.

 

You fell on your back; the ground gave way

The arms of love pulled you away

 

You land on your back, gently and calm

Laying in the grass, where you belong

 

The sky is blue the breeze is soft

Would everything really have been better off?

 

The Song of life the sound of joy

It was real, not the imagination of a foolish boy

 

Your heart will heal; find one who cares

She helped pull you out of your nightmares

 

Every passing moment your sense of life grows

Every breath you take heightens your awareness

You’re not the victim find forgiveness

Stand up again, battle, ready to take the blows

 

You put yourself on that cliff; don’t go there again

From your mistakes you can learn

Thank love, and after her continue to yearn

Fighting hard, singing beautifully, everything life was meant

 

To be.

Once there was a little firefly
Who was lost in a dark cave
It was never the places she intended to reside or hide
But she would get out! She was strong and brave!

Once there also was a sky
Who had once shown blue
Vibrant blue; above the world, strong and high
But it all went black with night, the wrong thing to do

The firefly longed for summer days
Bright and glorious as they shone
And the lovely nights where she could light her way
And she sought and sought for a source of light that wasn’t her own

She needed just a sliver
A faint hope was more than enough
This darkness was not her home; she needed a dark of pure, and life giver
She was not, and would not break though, she was tough enough

The sky in turn felt lost
Not what he was meant or supposed to be
He felt out of place and knew that the right path he had not crossed
The dark he, was not the light he wished to see

But a faint glimmer far away
The one thing he needed to change
He wandered towards the light, and began to wish to stay
His eternal dress of blue he would gladly arrange

And the Firefly saw her hope
And fought her way out of the cave
They were drawn together; a bond, a rope
And the best of each, to the other happily gave

The Firefly played and enjoyed the sky of day
And at night she played and sang for her sky
They shone brightly for one another
And it was a beauty that would never die.

Looking to the left
Glancing to the right
Stumbling to the dark with my arms in front of me
Time is running out
And I am running faster
Do everything I can to have you back besides me

Won’t take no for an answer
Put your hand in mine

Everything is darker now
Everything is coming down
You’re the only one I need
Life is closing in again
Eyes are tearing up again
Scars begin to resurface
Until I see your face
You are everything I need

Heart is beating fast
Pounding loudly in my mind
Every move I make only hurts myself
I see your face
In every reflection
Your eyes burn; your smile’s haunting me

Does my memory
Hurt you the way you hurt me
Am I the only on suffering?
Will you end the pain?

Stand in my arms
Hold my world up
Stop the collapsing
Of Everything
You’re in my heart
You’re on my mind
Where Are You?
You’re no longer beside me
Where has this feeling gone?
Why does this have to be?

Come back

I’ll hold you in my arms
Never let you go
Treat you how I should have
The last time that we met
The last look I saw

in your eyes
I never want to see it again
I’ll never leave you again

Stay by my side
Stay in my arms

Silence burns
Be my solution

I am lost
But I say dear chap, I most certainly am found
I know where I am, just not from whence I came
This is a place I know all too well
Sat and festered I have
Counted the stones in the wall
The grass on the floor
A place deeply ingrained in my mind
How I get here is always a mystery
But I am definitely not lost
This is a place I know all too well…

I cannot but put words to the sight before me
A best friend, sleeping safe in my comfort
There is nothing like it
No words will ever describe
The peace I see
The safe she feels
To rest in my presence
To trust me watching over her
To dream quietly
Her gentle breathing
Her twitching smile
Her serenity is visible
A woman places her confidence in a man
Trusts him to look over and keep her safe
And even from fifty-bajillion miles
She believes me to be doing just that

I love you best friend, sleep well knowing
When your eyes flutter open
I’ll be the first sight you see
Never leaving while you sleep or wake
