miss the windy nights
walking in the dark

you're were so close
so far away

I wasn't fast enough
can't match your pace

you always walked ahead

wait for me
I'll be ahead soon

I'll catch up

we can run together
somewhere they can't see us

go wild
get drunk

I want to buy the night sky
you can have what's mine
I don't know what's worse;
Drowning beneath the waves
or dying from the thirst.

Some days
I feel everything at once.
Other days I feel nothing at all.
Sometimes I wonder...
Do I really long for love?
Or is it heartbreak that I'm in love it?

we love.
and we love to be loved.
but let's not waste any time
figuring out which one we prefer

i couldn't be human
so i made a home
in the woods
i danced with the mist
and ran with the wolves.
i lay on the pine needles
wove leaves into my hair,
perhaps if you come looking
you will find me there.
- the wind sings my name.

Isabella
It smelled like trust
It smelled like truth
Like hope and heaven
It smelled like you

It looked like life
It looked like doves
Like sighs and smiles
It looked like love

It sounded like lies
It sounded like hurt
Like a deep crimson rose
Had been plucked from the dirt

It felt like heartache
It felt like guilt
And like all other roses
It began to wilt
it's been a while since i've written a rhyming poem
