My head went quiet
all the feelings that I have ever felt were ******* in a knot
and all I had to do was untie it.
gripping on thread by thread
as the tension built up
so did the thoughts in my head
Once I was zoetic,
  and words became life

But now I am dead,
—and death becomes me

When I've been on my own
in a park where the sun is finally
starting to warm my arms
and I  can see the veil of grief-chill
pulling back, about to reveal her
cities and her sidewalks
built in dirt

And I'm miles into the run
   of things
and I'm even further into my own head:

I'm sure that there are other runners
out there
who wish they
       could also
run from the dead.
I am a work in progress
And each day I chip away
at who I was
and begin to reveal
who I am
I have started a
revolution within my
bones that has pushed
me to my limits
I have shaken the foundation
of my beliefs and have
shouted in the face of my
insecurities
Though I will never
be perfect
I will be
true to my nature

Fleeting minds do not stray,
no,
instead, they lead the way.
The moon was so majestic and delicate too
And oh I wished so much to bring it down for you
But the sun rose up and told me not to..

Yet the birds up in the clouds they slowly made a circle
Where they tangled up so perfectly, they sparkled
And then suddenly they melted away in a twinkle..

*..And I keep many more great memories of you.

There was once a smart girl,
Who never experienced of being inlove.
Then suddenly she met this boy,
That brought her heart some joy.

One day the boy confessed,
He'll court the girl with his very best.
She began to wonder,
Is this the start of something better?

She never knew she will feel this way,
Because all she ever done is study all day.
She always say that love can wait,
But I guess cupid struck her and gave her faith.

I don’t know what to do.
I don’t want to lose you.

I don’t know what to say.
I just want us to be okay.

I have to move on.
I’ve known for so long.

But I don’t want to.
I don’t want to lose you.
