“Let’s escape.”
You whispered in the midst
Of the night when we
Should have been asleep.
I had no clue what you meant,
And thought you were crazy,
Until you brought the kitchen chairs
Into the bedroom and made a blanket fort,
Using our comforter and sheets.
You grabbed my hand,
Laced our fingers and we crawled inside.
We laid our pillows next to one another,
And I laid in your arms
With my head upon your chest.
You kissed my forehead,
Squeezed me a tad bit tighter,
Told me you loved me,
And we settled in for the night’s rest.
blanket forts are the best

We are
            moved
by the
lives of others
We are
             affected
by things that aren't
happening to us
We
        feel
emotions
we didn't
conjure
Our pain is
doubled,
tripled
&         intensified
Through the constant stream of
E m p a t h y
S y m p a t h y
Agony
But
without
it
there is no
                    love
And
without
                            love
what a
b o r i n g
u n f o r g i v i n g
world
we'd
exist
in
Drifting
                   lazily~
through our own
self pitty
Realizing
only
the
wetness
of the
rain
And
not giving a care
to the
                  life
it creates
Yellow roses
And tall willow trees

You are the rain in my heart
You fall with fear from your sky
I catch you gently on my tongue
You give life to my existence

**I need you to grow
You need me to matter

— The End —
