Your eyes contain the sky
Vast swirls of blues and greys
Eternal, vital, powerful.
They can be
As clear as a summers day,
As clouded as a winter storm.
Before you I adored
Nature, the dark wooden forests
That trapped me.
But you are of a different kind,
Freedom in its purest essence
Never ending.
Your eyes contain the sky
And I've been falling for so long
That I can no longer remember
The feeling of being on solid ground.

At times it felt like
We were the only two people
In that darkened room
We were the only two people
In the world
At times when emotions ran high
When the story reached fever pitch
You would squeeze me
Hold me close
And bury your face in my hair
You would reassure me
Yet again that
You are always there
At times like these
The only thought
Running through my head was
"I love this boy so much."
It's true
I could never stop loving you
Even if I wanted to.

Last night
I hurt you again
Indifference is more painful
Than outright hatred
Last night
I cried again
I hate myself
For always doing this to you
Last night
You told me
Clearly with certainty
"I'm not going anywhere."
Last night
Despite everything
You pulled me in
And held me close
Last night
I realised
Just how much
I needed to hear those words
Last night
I think we both came to understand
Just how much
We need each other.

I'm so tired
And I miss you
All I want
Is to kiss you
To be safe and sound
In your arms
Forever contained
In the simplest of moments.

Sadly, life must go on
And while my body
Goes through mundane
Everyday things
My essence
Is still preserved in the moment.

It is where my heart is
With you.

(Until we meet again)

Holding fast -
To everything I've ever known.
I keep slipping -
Into old habits.
I'm tired -
Of being comfortable in this dingy cocoon.
All I want -
Is nothing more than
To break free -
And emerge, a new.

***** in my eyes
Burning
All I can think is
Don't cry, don't cry
So much so that now
I've suppressed the feeling
Completely.

I am alone now
And I want to let it out
But I can't
Don't cry, don't cry
I told myself
As ***** mixed with
The tears never spilled.

I'm in such control of my emotions
That I can't find a release when
I need it.

I curl up
And allow my skin to absorb
The rare rays of
Summer sunshine
I read beautiful words
That express how I feel
Better than I ever could
Like the sun
Everything, everyone shines brighter
Better than I ever could
I always feel so
Insignificant.
