I planted flowers
At your feet
But they soon
Grew too tall,
And tangled 'round
Your face until
You were not
There at all.
never fall in love with a boy who
speaks in lavender soliloquy and
smells like cigarettes and melancholy;
whose kisses leave you in nirvana and
whose flesh lays in some lovely façade;
for he is a poet, a philosopher, and a believer
whose mind will disappear into breathless purgatory
when you're not even looking
and by the time you'll find out
you'll already have lost him somewhere,
between wandering verbosity,
and ashen wordlessness
wrote this a while ago and shared it on my tumblr, where it got around 80 notes i believe
Your ashes still burn in my throat. You were a fire I never should have set eyes on. These hungry flames left your name on the walls and all I wish is that you had covered your tracks because I still find myself hoping to find something I could throw away- I just want to be rid of you entirely.
Like a corpse
Lying in the weeds
She was there
In the lap of nature;
The naked twig
On an old oak!
Notes (optional)
There was this one moment when the rain poured
and we were both stranded at the moment
because we were both at awe at the sound of the rain
and the defining scent of petrichor
Do you remember?
You closed your eyes and smirked as rain poured
and all I could do was watch and see you in the moment
because you were in that moment.
You claimed the moment
Do you remember?
The raindrops fell harder and the sky grew darker
and we all could do was watch
you went closer, as if you were expecting something
when the bright spark of lightning appeared
along side a loud thunderclap
you clung onto my sleeve and felt your heart race
Do you remember?
"That was loud" I commented as we both watched it
though, not a response from you was heard.
at that moment I saw you clinging on my sleeve
and felt your gentle heart race
Do you remember?

At that moment you said "Thunder  frightens me"
and at that point
I always remembered
I saw them today... Lightning and Thunder
I just hope you were okay  when they said hi
