We lived on two islands.
Stood by the ocean, always within sight,
But never in reach.
So, for years we just looked on.
Wondering what could have been.
If not for the water, and the danger it screams.

Yet one day I could take it no more.
Dived in - head first, determined to reach your shore.
Barely half way and my legs giving in
I wondered just how much a fool I had been.

But then I see you once more,
But not on the beach? You’re here, you’re in front of me. I was so happy I swore.  
As we embraced one another,
The sea took its prize.
We fell under the waves and I began to realise.

That this was the end,
The end of our lives.
Yet I’d never been as happy as now – looking into your eyes.
As we hit the seafloor,
I don’t feel regret.
I just hold on to your hands,
Knowing our love will live on – forevermore.

I describe us as the autumn -
Crisp, as the morning breeze grazes against our skin,
Colourful, like the leaves falling gracefully from above,
Captivating, as the sunset's glow draws ever closer.
But behind all that magnificent splendour - decay

We were a frozen lake, pristine, glistening, perfection.
We were always going to fall through.

I’m not who you think I am.
How could I possibly be?
You’ve only known me so long. But,
I’ve lived my whole life as me.


But there’s nothing wrong with who I am,
Well…scratch that, there’s plenty.
You want me to name three?
No problem, I could give you twenty.


You think I’m really nice,
But in the past, I know I’ve been colder than ice.
I’ve given up on people when they needed me most,
Pretended not to see them, like they were a ghost.


But I carry the guilt with me every day,
This debt I’m in I can never repay.
I can’t change the past but I can apologise,
For running away, right as the problems arise.


I’m not who I want to be but I’ll try to be better.
With every word and every letter,
I’ll try to be good. I’ll try to be helpful, and kind,
Maybe then I can find some peace of mind.

Words create worlds,
Happiness, laughter, pain and suffering,
Love and Loss.

Language leads to life

I miss you
I know I've not spoken to you
But it's because I don't want to lie to you
If I say hello, you'll ask me how I am
I’ll lie. I'll tell you I'm fine, or I'm good
But I'm not
I feel alone, lonely, emptiness
And I can't let you know that because I don't have a reason to feel this way
I just do
And I don't want to make it seem I'm making things up
I can't wait till I see you again
Because you make me happy
The happiest I've ever felt
And I don't want to burden you with my sadness when we’re apart because you deserve happiness
You are wonderful
You are everything, I'm my eyes
And I miss you

I can't change
I wish I could
If I could
I'd be happier
I don't know how
But I would
I'd be talking to you
Hour after hour
That would make me happier
You would make me happier
You always did
You never even knew
You just always had the words
If anything could change me
You could
