The price of love is too high
It reaches the summit of an unclimbable mountain
One look and the mind says it isn't as high as it seems
The climb begins
Slowly
Steadily
Everything is alright
But then disaster
It is truly unclimbable
And before one can register
They are knocked off
Breaking into a thousand pieces
Like their heart of glass
Forever shattered and bruised
But they glue what they can back together
And forget their failed attempts to conquer what they thought was theirs to master
They look at the mountain anew  
And each time they look up
The mountain grows ever higher.

I think it's easy for the other side to glide through life
Never wondering "is today gonna be the day?"

The day we all think and fantasize
The image we see behind our eyes when sleep comes to take us
The dream that awakes in flourishing colors
A surreal experience that knocks the air out of your lungs

We wake up thinking it was real,
hearts pumping with unrestricted rhythms

Then we remember
How they love their life now
without her by their side
How they flash their riches
and complain how much money was ripped from their pockets
from a burden like her
The way they diss her and degrade her
And we find ourselves agreeing
For the sake of being with them

We want to think
"I'm not like her"
"The only riches I want come from your heart"
"I know the only words they'll speak of me are kind"

To make up for the ugly, we think of the beautiful
Their smile
Their laugh
Their eyes
The way we think they look at us
The endless conversations that take over our minds

Then it happens again

We dream
We awake
We think
We love

The world keeps turning
An unbreakable cycle.

And one I find myself trapped in too often

School, oh it's boring,
in class I always was snoring,
the teach, busy teaching, I'm ignoring,
the clock, please end today, I'm imploring,
I have a date later, with this girl, who I'm adoring.

Young, bright eyed and dumb,
talk, laugh and play till we're numb.
Summer, climb trees, pick and eat plums,
do silly things, sometimes get caught and run,
days of our youth, days of paper airplanes and gum.

A piece of my heart is gone.
You carry it around with you
And only when you are with me
Do I feel whole again.
Dedicated to my dear friend @Crestfall Thank you for always being there for me. Common Sense and Less-Than-Sense shall rule.

to think this is mad
am i foolish to belive
you care lots for me

once upon at time
you did steal my heart away
now we will crumble

maybe it is true
but why would you like me too
i am not that great

what captures your eye
is it what we talk about
or something simple

tell me what it is
i am dying to know it
never mind it's fine

enjoy it while you can
something will tear us apart
we will never know

i write about you
to ease the pain in my heart
you live far away

i hope we will meet
someday somewhere we will meet
and we'll see each other

we'll talk all day too
and maybe sparks will fly too
if you only knew

my heart carries love
do i give too much away
to different people

am i too hast
i've never felt like this before
explain it to me
you might not like me
you might like me only as friends
i must live with that

so my beloved
what will become of us dear
or should i say friend

will we ever find love
in each others loving arms
or is this a dream

You can tell when something is on the horizon
Whether by sight or by feeling

The way the wind blows onto your face
The way the clouds rocket across the sky
in red pockets of atmosphere

You can smell it before it comes
Miles away
In a distant land

The storm is coming
and it's course will never change

It will come
against your will
it will come

Either you drown in the floods
or strive to survive
floating on the debris of your once perfect life

I know these storms too well
The horizon is not as far as it seems

— The End —
