today I told myself that I love you
today I realized that I am insane

what does the sea look like from down under?
does it still reflect the sadness within my eyes
or will it turn the corners of my mouth upwards instead?
is it silent
or will sounds of death and aching hearts remain the same?

what does the top of the mountain look like?
does grass stay green all year
and will flowers bloom in colours i could have never imagined?
is it lonely
or do we hug each other and say i love you like we used to?

what does it feel like to lay on top of clouds?
i would like to think i have known
but the feeling i must have somehow forgotten
for now all i do is fall through

i try to imagine
why you seek and hide
is it all just to feel
less lonely at night?
for it always seems that
what i hate the most,
the word goodbye,
it always slips off of
your tongue in the
moment we say hi
you seek the sun
yet sit in the shade
but what will you do
when the light of the
day fades?
will you see that
switching the words
makes it no less
of a childish game?
will you then realize
it could all be too late?

their wings were ready
and i know you were not
but remember they've built a home
right within your burning heart

I feel your love,
your touch,
when the sun
chooses to shine,
illuminating
my skin

I see your face,
your smile,
whenever I look
at my reflection
in the mirror

I hear your voice,
your unforgettable
laughter,
as rain falls
melodically from
above

I remember the pain,
the unbearable
heartache,
when I realized
I loved you
but I had to
let you go

you build a wall
they climb it
you piece it back
they break it

for they’ll always
want to know
what it is like
on the other side

i watched flowers grow wildly
but it was all inside of my head
