completely;
the only way in which someone should love another.

you took the life out of me
stripped me to the bone
and i let you

now i lay before you
black and white

trees are changing their robes;
on misty mornings
I am sitting on my porch.
a book  
I've found in a vintage bookstore
at the corner of my street
is lying in my lap

drinking a tea
wrapped into my favorite blanket
and watching my neighbors
carving their pumpkins

smelling the scent
of firewood
while also listening to
Frank Sinatra

autumn, oh autumn
where have you been?

It looked awful
It felt even worse
For a moment,
vision was laced with uncertainty

My heart tugged
I saw me
I. Saw. Me.
vision cleared about what to believe—
myself.
A ramble about trusting me
Make the most of it, and live by my own rules

When you make a mistake and understand why,
you learn and glow.
When you welcome the lessons this brings,
you blossom and grow.
you become better than ever before
if i let you inside,
i could no longer hide,
i’m scared of what you’ll find,
if you wandered through my mind

We stare at empty light
Look at fake pictures
Pretend that everything
Is just okay

We watch pointless videos
Mindless entertainment
To fill the endless void
The people have created

We don't know what to do with ourselves
To keep us occupied
We don't know what we like
We don't know how else to hide

The world is ending
People are dying
We are all stuck
In a fake world

Just zombies
Trying to cure ourselves
Of the terrifying void
Outside
