I'm having trouble counting six words.
You're not my happily ever after.
I might extend this to a full length poem. What do you guys think?
Deep within
My ever resting soul
I dance
Along constellations
Feel the heat
Kissing the bare soles of my feet
I submerge myself
In vast seas
Glide along gentle giants
I resurface
Under a thousand suns
And take flight
Born in a supernova
Of star dust
And drops of Jupiter
My heaven
Is silent
You don't know how it is to be called a troubled child.
They sense the darkness in your life
Through your actions and your words
But they make the powerful choice
To do nothing at all
I know I'm not alone
It's a given
I've got friends by my side
Alliances that will not shatter or rust

But loneliness attacks the heart, the soul
Not anyone can fill that gap
And when pieces are mercilessly ripped out
And the heart is left with gaping holes
You start to wonder if anyone can fill it

I long for those holes to be patched up
Whole, but never perfect
Eighteen years with the life of thirty
Clinging to happiness
Drama to help me know I'm alive
I hope I find you *soon
Over thought the choice
What could I have been thinking?
Ruined every star in my sky
The monster is real

Darkness is my armour
I'm holding on for dear life
Graffiti-stained skin
My true colors run dry

The note I meant to leave behind
Urgent scrawl, frantic words
Help I've gone blind
The future isn't meant for those who die

tick tock tick tock tick tock

Clock ticks my heartbeat
Nothing but a mechanical mess
You can't fix a dead battery
Save the seconds meant to be spent

Happy endings are nothing but loose
Interpretation in the eyes of the holder
Peace held close to my chest
I'm just holding on for tonight
