You told me the stars shine for me
but that night was the darkest,
there were no stars

that was the night I figured
I don’t need the stars,
I can shine, too

Always wanting to be found
Been wishing to saved
Even if deep in your heart you knew
The only person that could save you
Is you
- Jan 2018
The halo lifts,
the wings crumble,
the angel leaves,
runs, and never stumble.

She cannot save you.

My watched stopped ticking the day we met again, and I swear I could hear your heartbeat even from meters away. How long has it been? God, I missed your face. I almost forgot how beautiful you were. You were even more beautiful than the day I lost you.

Time stood still
I stepped closer.
I reached for a hug,
...you let me.

My broken watch was the closest to forever I could ever be. Your heartbeat was the closest to heaven I would ever be.

and i pray
someday
the pain
behind
your eyes
eases

that peace fades
your scars

and your heart
finds hope

dear friend
i pray someday

you learn
to live
without fighting
yourself
and the fog
lifts

but until then
i pray

here's to hoping
i keep coping
or maybe just sleep
all this away!
seven years since they put me in the mental ward

‘Til death do you part
And yet even after that

She waits for you to come home every night
