do you ever dream
of a dream
come true?
only attainable
in the most
unimaginable of ways

oh i dream

i dream
of dreams
i know
to never come true
except when i imagine
anything to be
possible

oh my dream

unreachable dreams
forever locked away
kept safe
from horrifying truths
only reachable
in a world that’s
kind

oh i dream
my dream
of kindness
all around

choose kindness

love/lose

to love is to lose
but not before
you’ve gained
what you could never
dream of

love is a losing game?

no time to stop

going going
never time
to stop
and rest

i must perform
i must oblige
i must keep going
and going

taking time off
to take my mind off
of all the things to do
as soon as time’s up

i have to function
so the guilt
of underperforming
doesn’t consume me

it's capitalism innit

my love

i love
i always have
fiercely
fearlessly
i love

i love
everyday things
paltry
significantly
i love

i love
people
places
things
and spaces
in between

i love
with all my heart
wholly
fully
i love

i love
and always will
utterly
subtly
i love

my love, mine all mine

titan

and now i am Atlas
shouldering the weight of the past
all on my own

fallen angel

your heaven
is my hell
my heaven
is your love

when nothing
lasts forever
was the second time
i fell

fallen in love with an angel

A group of the two of us.

in your eyes
i saw the stars
in your arms
i felt the warmth
of a perfect summer night

now in your eyes
i see the pain
in your arms
i feel the end
of a love yet to begin

And we spent our existence pretending that we aren’t
