in the dark, in the depth
he is prowling where she wept.
in the sun, in the sky
she's trying hard not to cry.
his life was taken, she is shaken
he left not much, in her waking.
*I cannot see, I cannot do
what is left for me to lose?
I've lost my love, lost my life
I cannot bear to fight this fight.
I wish to go, I wish to die,
end this life and say goodbye.
I'll see you soon, up in heaven
and if I don't it'll be my hell.
If I see you and we're together,
then I'll say that all is well.

heart beating through your shirt,
each thud echoing in my body
warm hands brushing cold skin,
sending shivers down my spine
lips brushing my hair,
sweet breath tickling my ear
muscles tensed, holding tight
a smile felt leads to a smile made
a sigh, a release,
our fingers intertwine
and I drift off to sleep.

Freckles cover your body
I trace them like constellations
each one creating a story,
I now see them in the sky.

hey, you look familiar
I think I've seen you before
hey, watch that look in your eyes
it makes me melt to the floor
hey, come over here
I want to hold you tight
hey, move a little closer
it will keep us warm all night
hey, where have you been
I have been missing you so
hey you, you look familiar
like this girl I used to know

when i fall you're there to catch me
when i'm too weak to stand we lay,
side by side always together:
forever and a day

six years ago we met
and my life was changed forever
knew it then i didn't,
how you'd stand by me whenever

through stormy skies
and peaceful nights
we're stronger together
fighting these fights

you mirror the good and blur the bad
your heart good and true,
without you to guide me
i don't know what i'd do

together we'll dance
together we'll rise
together we'll make it
to see brighter skies.
just a little ode to my mirror for always being my person.

why do you make my heart beat so fast?
i feel like it's pounding out of my chest.
i don't know how much longer i can take it
i fear it will stop all together, be put to rest.
they say love is butterflies,
but instead mine are hawks
and a venom in my blood
i don't know what to do
and i don't know what to say,
all i know is that i need you
yet you remain so far away.
you used to be mine but now are hers
and how that happened i'll never know
but just your name drives me crazy
you're my highest high and my lowest low.

Ella Byrne
Your eyes contain the sky
Vast swirls of blues and greys
Eternal, vital, powerful.
They can be
As clear as a summers day,
As clouded as a winter storm.
Before you I adored
Nature, the dark wooden forests
That trapped me.
But you are of a different kind,
Freedom in its purest essence
Never ending.
Your eyes contain the sky
And I've been falling for so long
That I can no longer remember
The feeling of being on solid ground.
