dear my unknown love,
the one who witnesses me wilt before anyone else does
the one who blooms before i do
the one who gives but never takes
the one who everyone yearns
the one who regards God every day
the one who fills my heart with joy
the one who tortures my heart
the one who loves another one.

there was a time

where you held me
the way you'd hold the world

there was a time

where you gave me a sweet prayer
so sweet it burned my lips

there was a time

where the universe was in our hands
as we relied on it so dearly

there was a time

before you decided
i couldn't hold the world for you

the woman in the white dress has called out his name,
she called him darling.
"don't fret child, i'm right here."
he was bleeding.
he told her he was ready.
then she took him away.
