In your heart
I see fire
I see gold
I see stories gone untold

In your eyes
I see secrets
I see lies
I see everything you despise

In your mind
I see anger
I see love
I see all the things you’ve ever dreamed of

I see everything that you are
I see everything you want
I see everything
Except me

They say that time
Slips through your fingers
Like sand
But it’s not really true
Sand is much easier to hold on to

I wish someone could take a flashlight
And illuminate
This void
So that maybe
I could see
That this
This isn’t a void at all
This is a storage unit

Words
Have
So much power
You should need
A license
To use them

Wherever I go
I am always chasing the sun
Always chasing happiness

No matter how far I stretch my hands

It’s always
just
a little bit
Out of reach

I will leave soon
And this,
This will no longer be home.
But I will be okay,
Not everything is changing.
The sun will be the same.
And the moon,
It will shine just as brightly.
And the stars,
The stars
They
Won’t
Ever
Fade
