when the silence of death
is louder than the noise of living
i ponder for a moment
which to choose

leave me once
shame on me
leave me twice
shame on me
leave me thrice
shame to think
i e’er believed
you wanted me

Someday I’ll find you,
Let summer remind you
That, if we’re inclined to
Step into the sun,

The meadows will lead us,
The grasses between us
Will kneel down beneath us,
And to you I’ll run.

Someday I’ll find you,
Let autumn remind you,
The leaves never mind to
Pay yearly the price,

For they know with patience
That nature is gracious
And new life awaits us
With each sacrifice.


The changing of seasons
Cannot be ignored,
But growing pains always
Will come with reward,

So look to the future
And see what I see,
I’ll be there with you dear
Eventually…



Someday I’ll find you,
Let winter remind you
That life is unkind to
The lovers that rush,

And so I will dally,
Through forest and valley,
Til that sweet finale
When I feel your touch.

Someday I’ll find you,
Let springtime remind you
That joy is designed to
Return with the dove,

So when you are lonely,
Remember that only
The seasons can show me
The way to your love.

how many losses can I bear
before I lose myself

- p. winter
There is no particularly dramatic, traumatic event taking place. But enough little things add up. Losing people, losing your job, losing marks, losing your mind, it’s only a matter of time before the little losses consume you completely.

Papa lost his papa to a poison in his veins,
Then followed in his footsteps, heading straight toward the grave,
But papa lived to watch my mama grieve her very own,
And I learned in early childhood that the hospital was home.
Now papa’s oldest sister, and his second from the last,
Are forced to sit and watch as their own bodies fail to last.
Meanwhile I’m watching mama cry into the telephone,
‘Cause her papa’s ‘cross the ocean and he’s dying all alone,
And she’d give away her soul to merely kiss him once goodbye,
But the flights are too expensive, and the oceans are too wide.
I yearn to take their suff’ring, pray it kills me in their place,
But I couldn’t make my mama claim another lifeless face.

Ever wanna die so you don’t have to deal w being sad but then you remember that you dying would make your mom sad and you’d rather live sad than know you made your mom sad

Her kiss upon your cheek is but a petal in the wind,
And should you rid the feeling of it brushing ‘gainst your skin,
Do pray you ne’er forget it, lest one evening you begin
To miss that love so tender, for to hers is none akin.

Your presence, twice the pain of what
Your absence e'er could be.
A ******* of sorts am I
To keep you close to me.

sorry if you thought anything interesting was happening in my life but this is literally about having a pet cat even though you're allergic
