She thinks she is a ghost
but she cannot see that her body carries
the soul that nourishes the universe from within.

Each adventure I dream up in my head
means nothing to me if you aren't resting next to me
each night under the stars
drawing lines from minute to second, star to star.
Oceans may separate our bodies like magnets opposing each pole,
but our souls will never part, forever intertwined,
our history is written between celestial bodies,
shining in a sea of blackness,
we meet again when salt dissolves,
our tears will stop,
the ocean runs dry,
we run to each other,
look up at the sky, hand in hand,
memories painted upon midnight's canvas,
the moon as our witness,
we reconnect,
let the journey take us to where we end up next.
i have massive writers block. i'm sorry for so much writing on stars. she reminds me of the stars though. when i think of her i think of the stars. usually it's the other way around. but she is special. and i know this poem may not make sense to you, but for me it does. and i am writing for me. so here it is.

Happiness flashes through me like a lightening bolt;
here, gone.

You're not afraid of me.
I love you for that.

The distance between sun and moon,
forever chasing each other,
never catching up,
running in circles,
light to dark,
that's our love,
it's never enough.
But unlike heavenly bodies,
I've grown tired,
I'm giving up.

Hello,

I'm losing myself again,
it's getting hard like it was back then,
i'm leaving for now, I can't wait for you to say when,
I know this is unexpected based on how good we've been.

You keep me going but you make me fall,
my strength becomes weakness when you come to call,
I can't hold my head up high anymore when all I want is to curl into a ball,
I can't continue to give you my all.

I'll always be here if you need me though,
please don't take this as a hard blow,
i'll be back for you, promise, so don't let go,
I love you too much so I need the pace to slow.

Stay strong for me when life get's rough,
don't give up when you think you've had enough,
you have so much potential and goodness and stuff,
just remember that for me, always stay tough.

I'll be seeing you.

This lost soul longs to escape
this seemingly unfamiliar body.
