what a journey we’ve been on
it seems a little crazy we're even at this point

it's ironic to think that i have known you my entire life
yet you’ve only known me since you were 20

we argue a lot more than we used to
but that’s just me growing up

you’ve showed me the good and bad things
this world is capable of doing to another

even though you can’t take back those years
for when you were absent

everyday you are making it up to us and
showing just how much you care

you're a fighter and a survivor
and absolutely the most indestructible person i know

i love you,

happy birthday mom

It's me
It's the bitter ache
Watching the leaves
Move on trees
Outside
It's the deep rooted
Wrongness
That pervades me
It's the sickness
That's growing
Little sprouts of doubt
Littering my bones
It's the saddest melody
That she sings
It hits me
Flattens me
It's me

You are more
Than the stars
In the sky
At night
You're so much more

Just a delicate
Drop of dew
On my windowsill
Not waiting for me
Too close to touch

You're ethereal
Making the
Planets jealous
You're too close
To evanescence

the four of us
made memories
i would tell
my future kids
