Blow out the candle
Let it go they say
Watch the smoke dance up in the air
And the flames leave
with a simple dance
As the wax hardens leaving a warm spot full of scented memories
But I don't want to let go
They can't make me

Mesmerised by an ocean dream,

Eternal life, alone and free.

Rolling waves, sea pure and clear,

Maybe I've found shelter from the storm.

A cave that glistens, a loving aura.

I no longer need my alibi,

Driven to the dream I've always dreamed,

Swimming with the mermaids of the open seas.

I am in love,
but lord knows if it’s real.
She is the most beautiful creature,
her heart is what I wish to steal.
But I am unsure,
if she is for me,
so I try to compare,
and fail every time.
This fate is too wicked.
Can’t you be mine?
If not, then how come?
You are what I dearly want,
and I will treat you with forever care and compassion.
You are everything to me…
or is it everything I am hoping to become?

Is she my escape...
I already have too many,
that “reality” is starting to morph
into an object of envy.
An object that I can never afford,
but always admire from afar when my heart is heavy.

I am unable to swim up and take in that breath of positivity
So I let go and let myself drift in my newly created reality

I love you
you look like a priceless artwork
