Gold streaks
Glittering in the sun
Blinding me

I want to hold her hand
Rest my head on her heartbeat
I want to see her laugh
Make her laugh
I want to kiss her cheek
So she knows it's not just her
Lips I seek

But all I see is gold
Beautiful gold
Running away from me

I want to love her
She makes me feel
Like the person I've
Always wanted to be

Gold
I'm entangled in gold
And I've never been more free

Come away with me


To the mountains?
To the sea ?

Come away with me


On an adventure?
Somewhere new?

Come away with me
She whispered

To the moon?

She didn't go anywhere
Not to the mountains
Not to the sea
No adventure
Nowhere new
She never even
Tried to touch
The moon

So where to?

Come away with me

In the deepest parts of my love
In the darkest places of my heart
To the endless expanse of thought
To the world inside
Don't move

Come away with me
She begged

To the place you never knew

Lunar
summer nights
fairy lights
women rights
skinny tights
we ended up with
lovers' fights

plain as day
you took away
a sunshine ray
left me with
no words to say

feelings fade
a girl's parade
to hold her head high
and hide the mess you made

Scrolling through the feed
So much pain
Poems of the slain

Embrace your sadness
Revel in the anger
Cherish your happiness
Dance with danger


My friends it's only game
It's only a day
It's only forever
It's practically never

You'll be okay
We will all be okay

It's always and forever
The Land Of Happy
Have you been to the land of happy,
Where everyone's happy all day,
Where they joke and they sing
Of the happiest things,
And everything's jolly and gay?
There's no one unhappy in Happy
There's laughter and smiles galore.
I have been to The Land of Happy-
What a bore

That crooked smile
And those empty eyes
Get me every
******* time

Oblivion
That's what I crave
Not death
Not life
Oblivion
Peace

It's also what I fear the most

Ironic

Tell me

Does it hurt ?

Your growing pains?
When you breathe in bright red love only to breath it out again?

Love.

The worst thing to happen to mankind.
And the best.

Love is what I fight for.

Oblivion is what I want.

Bright red, running through our veins
******* growing pains

You
I can't figure out
The right words to
Use for you

I don't know
What you'd be
If marked
As a tattoo

I can't see
You traced on a
Canvas

Or hear your
Heartbeat
in my latest
Melody

It got me thinking
Maybe you are your own
Kind of art
