one day there will be others
a constellation
you won't be the only one anymore
but you'll always shine the brightest
and in my mind
the ones yet to come
will be ghosts of you

in the wake of you
i felt more empty
more alone than i had before

when i sent you on your way
you took a piece of me with you

you're the toaster to my bubble bath,
the canary to my gold mine

they opened their lips
and out flowed poetry.
their intoxicating words
blinded me and drew me
to them, in the same way
a light draws a moth:
senseless, longing, entranced...

please think about. it ask yourself why you can't sleep. don't be afraid to dig down deep. deep down we all know that we were meant for more than this- more than burnt out days and nights and flickering lights that poison our minds and leave us with static thoughts behind dark eyes because we never wondered why or how we wake up day by day even with souls crumbling away, or if or when we may just find what we have gotten used to hiding, biding our time for nothing at all until we find something more than typical.

i will not* cut myself down just because
my prosperity makes you uncomfortable.
i will not shrink myself for
someone who refuses to grow.
i am a garden of spirit and life.
i will not apologize if
you would prefer a desert.
