Before the sun rise
Before you open your eyes
Before you check your cell
I will,
be there

Before you think a while
Before you say a word
Before you write something
I will,
be there

Before the dark silent nights
Before you start to dream
Before you wish something
I will,
be there

A promise to be felt.

I wish people worked like clocks
They can be tall
Short
Loud
Quiet
They can be digital
They can be old-fashioned
They can be dressed up
Or even a little bare
And when they break
You can tell
And you can fix them
And make them all better

When I tell a joke
If I laugh
That’s all that matters

When I put makeup on
If I like it
That’s all that matters

When I sing
If I enjoy it
That’s all that matters

Let me be selfish in this way
I don’t do these things for attention
I do them for me

I know not everyone will believe me
But that’s okay
Because I believe me
And that’s all that matters

hell is a place where
you constantly love those that
do not love you back.
I find myself in a crowded  sea,
Waiting for the Jubilee,
Men in suits are passing by,
The caffeine keeps their spirits high,
High heeled heroines looking chic,
Their urban catwalk for the week,
And whilst I wait for the train to arrive,
Commuters dance on the yellow line,
I hold my bag and start to pray,
That the 9am tide won't wash me away.
(C) L.J. Chaplin
Until her scars
are ingrained
on the texture
of your skin,
Until her pain
flows through
the cracks of
your bones,
do not tell me
you love her.
do not tell me
she is your home.
Time is flying,

And I feel happier

But sadder

Most nights I spend them crying.



You make me feel safe

But what scares me the most

Is to stop feeling this way

Loss makes me ache.



I thought they were lies

A person couldn't make you feel whole

But you light up my darkness

And warmth has no price.




I know I seem cold

I'm sorry i'm not used

To be held so tightly

To  trust what's out of my control.

Listen
I must leave now for a while

Do not grieve or shed tears

Just hug your sorrows
then set them free
~

Greet new days with gallant smiles

for my sake
In my memory

live on
~
Change nothing
For one pining thought
unforgotten
gives grief one last reprieve
~

Reach out for me
Feel my heart

Never
ever
be afraid when you see me
waiting
in the sky
~~~
