A story of a boy
Adolescent, flowering glass heart, surrounded by stone
Green-eyed misery that stayed in the back of my mind
When I didn't want him to
He was like that;
It only takes one kiss
From his tender lips:
The forest-eyed catastrophe engulfs you whole
Those emerald daggers sink into your throat
Trailing painfully down into the pit of your stomach
Then slither back up into your lungs,
At last, sinking your heart all the way down to the ground
The Earth-eyed nightmare seeps into your skin
Writhing its roots into your veins
Living there forever
Digging its branches into your bloodstream

Taking him out would tear you apart.

maybe we should time travel
could be the way to win this battle

I won’t let you go
yet I don’t know status quo

I’m not sure of what I want,
not sure of what I need
but I know you won’t mislead

our paths were meant to cross
so here we are,
trying to read the map of a star

where will we end up?
well I don’t know
but I’m sure you meet my flow

I’m glad you’re here
glad you’re part of my days
so count me in, even if it rains

but as long as we’re together
the weather doesn’t matter

boy I love our equal energy
so don’t ever become just a memory

now I realise the infinity of an hour
because without you, life is sour.
