“Hold onto your hats!” he said.
“The autumn breeze is strong.”
I watched the dandelions waltz around with the wind
While the robins chirped a final song
There was a chill in this wind
That made leaves of gold fall off of trees
So I held onto my hat
While walking through this brutal breeze.
And then i looked right over my shoulder
And there you stood with wide eyes
They were two stormy seas
That matched these late autumn skies
Before I could send my smile your way
You disappeared, and I was pinned
And soon enough my heart died with winter
And you were gone with that autumn wind. - my heart shall die with autumn

Look up to the sky
what color do you see?
As the wind brushes your hair
And birds are flying freely
Is it a shade of fading yellow
Painted over shades of smoggy red
A shade of sapphire blue
That holds words,  no one  ever said
Or is it a shade of wilted pink
Just like the shade of the sky that one night
When it felt like the world just suddenly stopped
And the setting sun beamed golden light
When everyone suddenly froze
Took moment and looked around
Appreciating all of the smallest details
That never seemed to make a sound
All the new people they met
All of the things they have seen
And for the first time in forever
We weren’t looking at a screen
But you didn’t notice the sky that night
You were too occupied in your own mind
Not allowing yourself to stop and breathe
When you just needed to open your eyes
And maybe you would’ve smiled that night
If you just hadn’t given up
Oh but if you just saw the sky that night
Oh if you would’ve looked up.

We take the Sun for granted
Like she’ll always be here
As if she is filled with golden rays
That knock away our fears
But what if all that golden light
Doesn’t repel fear itself away
But she’s just too scared to admit
That all of her demons stay
And she relies on the moon to watch her back
But she too has problems of her own
Yeah the stars keep her company
But she still feels so alone.
These two wonders of the sky have so much beauty in common but still ignore each other, what for?
If you would just open your eyes, and open your mind
You two could be so much more.

You were a bright yellow flower
That bloomed in early July
I was the shy little bumble bee
That was always passing by
I would like to keep my distance
Cause other bees liked you too
Any yet you barely knew me
And I barely knew you
But somehow I felt like I've seen you before
In this botanic garden of dreams
Filled with flowers of blue, violet, orange
And crystallized glistening streams
But yet you were one of few yellow flowers
So you easily stood out
You colors always remained vibrant
Even during Our droughts
So I kept on admiring your colors
But I still stayed far away
In our vibrant crowded garden
Until you noticed me one day
And I started to fall in love with you
But soon came the end of July
And all of us smart bumble bees know
That's when Sunflowers die

One time I had a flower
Planted in my room
I gave it all the love and time
That it needed to bloom
I watered that flower everyday
Gave it lots sun
But after a while work got boring
And it wasn't fun
And so I left the flower
Dying on its own
Withered petals scatter around
Because I left it alone
So next time you get bored of someone
Think before you do
Because flowers need love to grow
And people need it too.

You were a shooting star
Strung way far up in the sky
You never had anyone to talk to
Cause no one could climb so high
You would lay among a galaxy
Far out of anyone's grip
Except for that little boy in the corner timidly biting his lip
He wanted to leave this planet and travel up to the moon
So when he would be up there he could say he's been somewhere new
But he didn't know how to get there,
So he decided to follow your light
Climbing on strings that hold our stars
All throughout the night
And so he did what no one else did he aimed straight for the moon…
Even though he didn't make it he landed among the stars right next to you

What a waste of a perfect night you were
Brushing past me like the winter breeze
Freezing my toes and fingertips
Leaving me weak in the knees
There were however a few times you were kind
And your eyes were locked with mine
I forgot what frostbite felt like
And that’s why it hurts most this time
I thought you were soft at the touch
With your warm and inviting brown eyes
But when I reached over for your hand
You froze me in the cold and left me to die
Stuck in this snowstorm of confusion
Until you were out of sight
And I can’t believe i waited so long for this
What a waste of a perfect night

I’m feeling quite lost at the moment
almost completely numb in a way
i feel as if all the love that ran through my veins
has evaporated into thin air
the feeling is almost sickening
it just feels so empty
and i’m surrounded by people that love me
but yet i feel so alone
and tomorrow morning when i feel the beach in between my toes and hear the waves crash up against my feet
a feeling of longing will be cured
i’ve never truly loved someone yet, i don’t think
call me a pyscopath, because maybe i am
but maybe one day when the wind dries the tears off if my cheeks
and when clouds fill half of the sky
when the stars whisper words of reassurance and beauty into my ears
and when the waves of the oceans and seas travel miles just to reach my open arms
maybe then will i feel “love.”
