i believe that when we're born,
when our souls are created by the universe,
we have beautiful, elegant wings,
and we're all beautiful and elegant things.

as we slowly fall to the earth,
little pieces of them are stripped away,
feather by feather until their gone
and what we start with is only what we have on.

every year we grow older
a piece of what we once had
begins to be replaced.
those little pieces of us are no longer erased.

don't get all your pieces,
everything is happening too fast.
don't put your wings back on,
none of us are ready for you to be gone.

falling in love

falling in love with you
is like cliff jumping into the ocean.
falling into the depths within;
sinking so deep, forgetting i could swim.

falling in love with you
is like sitting by a campfire.
holding me in your arms
as the warm flames reached higher.

falling in love with you
is like sitting and counting the stars.
each one having more meaning than the last;
connecting a map taking us all the way to Mars.

falling in love with you
is like blasting music and driving fast.
singing out of key and loosing our voices;
both of us wanting these moments to last.

falling in love with you is memorable.
and these memories are mine to keep forever.

growing

Growth isn’t a dependence
about where you’ve come.
But instead a dependence of
just how far you have.

anything and everything

you ask me to run,
i ask how far.

you ask me to climb,
i ask how high.

you ask me to swim,
i ask how deep.

you ask me to jump,
i ask what to yell on the way down.

i’d do anything and everything,
just to prove my love to you.

Those songs

Those songs
They don’t mean the same thing anymore
I can’t listen to them
And feel how I felt before
They’re different
Whether good or bad.

They have a new meaning
One that hurts
And you play them now
With them around
And act like it’s an everyday thing.

But maybe
For you it is.
Maybe you don’t try and avoid them
When someone else has the aux
Or when they come on the radio.
Maybe with them it is an everyday thing again.

hopeless romantic

you’re a hopeless romantic
and I’m tired of
you being dramatic
because I’m not in love.

I was at once
but not anymore
so turn off the light
and shut the door.

It’s time to move on.

I thought of this in the shower lols

The ending.

All writers have one really good but truly heartbreaking line.
We all prepare for it all of our lives,
and hope that it is as beautiful as it hurts.
We’re told that with beauty comes pain,
but who made that mean your worth?

Why must you strive to be beautiful,
when in the end you’re covered in scars?
For the story, the journey, the new beginning?
As the author you decide when enough is enough,
you are the controller of the ending.

Live your life,
go on the journeys,
watch the sunrise and set.
Don’t end your story just because it’s boring,
you haven’t reached the excitement yet.
