I'm laughing
I'm singing
I'm dancing
I'm grinning
Like a fool,
Like a maniac,
Yet it's not because of the sugar
It may be because I'm kinda tired
But you made me grin
By what you told me
*Thank you
To the person who told me I'm too awesome not to like and making me laugh at one in the morning. Thank you.

I was always more of an autumn girl, there was something so poetic about watching the leaves fall, maybe that's why I always hated spring. But then you appeared, on that hot april night. So full of leaves. You told me I was an unbloomed flower. So you water me with laughs and sweet words, in a couple of days I started blooming. And then I understood how wonderful spring was.
I now see flowers so differently and with so much respect, because it is so hard to bloom in the time we live in, we are so full of toxic people and words that stick to us like poison ivy, yet you made it look so easy for me.
you told me that I should bloom like a wildflower, no matter the place, no matter the season, no matter the circumstances, you have the ability to brighten up someone's path.

What if I mess it up and you realise I'm not
"the one".

What if I break your heart and grind the fragments into a million tiny pieces?

What if I say goodbye only to realise that the word I was looking for was
"Stay".

What if you can't handle the pressure of being with someone so beautifully insane?

What if our differences tear us apart and we end a potential lifetime of laughter with
"Sorry".

What if every "what if" I have in my head destroys us before we even begun?
I am so worried that I will hurt you
darkness is coming
do you feel it
                        closing in?
i dont know how long to wait
                                                        before i scream
******   ******
                                ****** with   dripping
                                                        sticky
                                                        red

i can feel it closing in
around   my (
                         barely beating
                                                        )heart
It's okay if the only thing you did today was breathe.
- Because even breathing can be hard, but it will get better.
It was barely just a thought
But it circled like a vulture
I never meant to give it more
Than a scrap of a voice

It was barely just a word
But it dragged you down
Weighing like a feathered stone
At the lobes of your ears

It was barely just an inch
I saw you move just as quick
I scarcely breathed the moment
And saw you disappear

And it was barely just a year
Until I heard you return
And the vultures are waiting
For barely just a thought again.
