Walking down the bustling street
Stopping, listening
An old man playing spoons

wounded treasure,
night departure.

her profound satisfaction,
his forgotten adoration.

the lovely,
vanished,
careless,
kisses whispered,
reappeared in gloom.

six months spread before her somber eyes,
a love so broken,
absent from him.

she grasped it,
for her feelings could not surpass the human tongue.

Thoughts on endless repeat
Back and forth
Like waves crashing on the sand
Be careful of these thoughts
Dangerous, powerful
They’ll sweep you up
Take you out further than safe
Consume, swallow
Until you’re too far gone.
These thoughts on endless repeat
Back and forth
until you drown.

This is about the girl who fell in love with the moon.
Resting against the cold glass window at night
To get a glimpse of the light on the side she laid eyes on
And wondered about the darkness she would never get to see.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the stars.
Watching them sparkle and shoot across the sky.
She shed a tear knowing these stars were long diminished
And wondered if she as well would leave such a lasting mark.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the rain.
Falling fast asleep to the quiet drops on the pavement
With colors forming through the heavy mist,
And wondered if she could ever be as beautiful as a rainbow.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the ocean.
Sinking her toes in the sand while breathing the salty air,
Noticing the fish swimming easily through the blue water
And wondered if she could glide through life the same way.
This is about the girl who fell in love with the sun.
Lying in the swaying grass, feeling a soft breeze on her cheeks
Only to be shaded by the birds flying free under the light
And she wondered if she could one day be as free.
This is about the girl who fell in love with solitude.
Curled up with the dusty pages of her favorite book
Reading of the lover’s who share their lives together,
And wondered if one day she might share her solitude.
This is about the girl who fell in love with you.
With the way your body wrapped around hers,
How you could command a room with the warmth of your smile
And she wondered if one day she could call you hers.
This is about the girl who fell in love with too many things.
Realizing none of them would ever be hers,
Knowing she had no one to share them with.
And she wondered if she would always feel so alone.
