You may see me as an eagle
Soaring just above the scarlet sunset
But you don't see my inner struggle
So much so its as if we've never met

Friends in theory
Strangers in practice
My minds corrupt and scary
Yours moralized with a sense of justice

I look at you and see civilization
You look at me and think we are the same
And I know you just haven’t come to the realization
That in this tragedy I am to blame

You look at it all and still see a silver lining
But all I see is the eye of a hurricane
Even though you see a light ever so blinding
I’m struck with a swirling gust of pain

But in a perfect world
Parallel to that of our own
My hair would be naturally curled
10111 wouldn’t be set on my phone
And I would be content
I wouldn’t have to repent.

A million thoughts are running wild
As I stare into the body of an adult
But only see the spirit of a child
That has created feelings never felt

My heart has lost and won the war
But my mind has succumbed to it
My soul has been left feeling sore
While the picture of us was so perfect

How does one bounce back from love
It has become so difficult to comprehend
That this is a believed plan from above
When all I want is a restart and no end.

We both agreed to the terms and conditions
But what if we bend the rules a bit
As you are one of my only obsessions
Why don't we at least attempt it?

Us
Our past seem to be sculptured by the same artists,
Our hearts mended by the same glue,
Our realities filled with the same bumps and twists,
And our happiness becoming something only felt by a few...

if I'm being honest,
You fill my entire being with butterflies,
You're the moment in my day that's best,
You give me clarity to all the lies,

You make me bite my lip,
And get my heart beat to skip
And I know this is all new to you and I
But I guess the best things in life are the moments when we try

For the hopeless romantics out there such as myself ♡

A puff of someone else's smoke here and there
Turned to a box everyday and everywhere
She said it was an addiction of no danger
That its nothing too big or too major

But then that not too major thing turned into a disaster
She started coughing out her lunges everyday after
That not too big of a problem turned into a genocide
A genocide to her lungs that are dying inside

A cough a day kept the doctors near
No apple would change that simple fact
We begged and plead for them to fix her
But they said that its impossible to do that

So we waited in agony
We waited for her tragedy
We waited for things to change
But guess that was out of our range

Since she's gone gone gone
There's no pain for her anymore

As my tears rolled down my cheeks, I heard the song of heaven sing his name…

I saw feathers rain down upon me as I cried out his name in sorrow. Oh, how I wished he had a tomorrow. I wished I had one minute, I wished I said what needed to be heard, and I wished I had awoken earlier the day of his demise.

I wished my tears were not real and my smiles were not fake. That I awake at dawn to realize it was all just a nightmare… I wished this was a fairy tale, but instead of a prince, I would have my Dad every step of the way. That if or when I was charmed into marriage, he would tell my groom that his shotgun was just a quick stop at the local shop.

I wished I had him to kiss me good night once more. I wished I had a drive in his car one more time.

I wished I had you… I miss you more than plants would water or the earth would the sun. You were and always will be my angel… tattooed to my heart and imprinted to my soul.

Watch over us.
To the Father i thought i never had, guess blood isn't as thick as we all think it is. Love you Uncle Dan AKA my Step-DAD.

No distrust my friend,
But I’ve been to the other end.
Where we are unable to breath,
Where we’re seen as just part of a weave.

A thread instead of a person,
A metaphor taken literally,
Only to have our lives worsen,
And no, I’m not talking figuratively.

I’m talking with all my honesty,
’cause they may say that we should be grateful,
But for me to live by my life policy
I will not be regretful.

So I will stand up and scream.
I will speak my thoughts.
I will let freedom and revolt be my life’s new theme,
And I will rewrite these unfair plots

I won’t let you control me,
Because what am I if not free?

The night started out as a friends thing
We spoke for hours about everything
We laughed and joked around a bit
Then found our hands were a perfect fit

We acted as more than what we were
Which might have caused a feeling to stir
We told strangers this little white lie
And we didn't even have to try

We fooled the strangers by the bars
As we held hands under the stars
We moved swiftly to the music playing
Not realizing what we were doing

We started something that late night
It started small but then grew bright
It become a sense of belonging
That's when you became my only longing
Escaping the friendzone like a pro

Wishes of the future
are blurring the present
Never too sure
If all messages should be re-sent

'cause I can't seem to contact you
I keep thinking that maybe your a lie
But everyone else believes in you 2
Does that mean I should at least try?

Are you not a fable?
Are you truly our saviour?
Can you make me feel stable?
Even with all this random behaviour?

Don’t let them get you down
Just turn away and look around
You know how hard life is
So don’t let them do this

You should know you’re more than average
You’re got that spark in need of a stage
You’ve got a voice in need of a mic
If you get that, what’s not to like?

Do you understand what you are?
You’re a wish made upon a shooting star

You’ve got the courage of a lion
So don’t let them get you crying
You’ve got the heart of a saint
So don’t you dare think to faint

You’re stronger than the big mighty shark
Even though you’re scared of the dark
You’re louder than the great typhoon
Yet you don’t get up before noon

Don’t you see what you could be?
You could be the one and only
The one to set the world a light
Not with flames but with your might

I no longer had the words,
I felt vulnerable and unarmed
My heart ached and was constantly alarmed
As if, my fight ended with the destruction of my swords

Treasure were within the reach of my trembled nerves
Severed footsteps on hallow ground,
Walked along the narrowed corridor curves,
Ran further and further away, screaming without saying a sound.

What if the person you see now
Is not worth a single “wow”
What if she loves too easily
But doesn’t have that kind of loyalty

Maybe, she only cares for herself
Maybe she is emotionally wrecked
Maybe she thinks to harm herself
Maybe she shouldn’t be seen a perfect…

’cause the pressure is eating at her
And she can only think of one single cure
A way to live a happy life for good
Is for her to no longer hide under a hood..

I wish reincarnation was true
So this wasn't the last version of you
You'd be born with different eyes
But have the same soul that never lies

See the colour of your hair will change
But that's just like you anyway
And we might be different in age
But we'd be the same as yesterday

To some yesterday isn't a lot of time
But you were in so many yesterday's of mine
I lost one of my best friends earlier this year and I still can't believe that she's gone... All I wish is that we had more time.

Understanding the stars to your galaxies
Made of past and future complexities
Is the path we took made of possibility
Which ended in us walking separately

Though we're broken and bruised feeling further apart
With moments that'll never silence my heart
I still look for you in the ocean of people
But I know it's your stars that'll only show

Though I won't forget the tune you played
When you tugged at my heartstrings
You brought the music back with memories we made
When you tugged at my heartstrings

Seeing shimmers of blue starting back at you
A reflection I will never unsee
With feilds of gold glowing in the dark
I hope they'll remind you of me

Building moments created by the smallest of things

— The End —
