The world turns,
And I'm this close to caving in,
And it burns my heart
That you're not here.
No concerns,
I'm not tangled in my sins,
I am far away from long ago,
I have no fear.

Clouds go by,
And I am drifting off to sleep.
With a sigh,
Your world will disappear.
Say goodbye,
I'm leaving you forever,
I am far away from long ago,
I have no fear.

Like
Truth or dare
Pandemic
Or
The plane
At home ground
Broken into two

Destiny decides

To Live or die

The fate preordained

red promises floating above you
voicelees goons in this plane, scary
boobas take the trans am, no doubt
3:05 am and you'll be takin it there

extincting crews strenghten courage
black and white days forge memories
across the destination, our enemies
prepare for death, my friend, die

catchers roam the streets like rats
manhattan everywhere, murderous cats
24/7 keeps people awake for sinning
90 billions a day spent on parties

foggy perception like raves and pills
vibes are killing the innocent and guilty
judgment day for all the heavens exploding
final destination, open faces, heavy hangovers
Today it's all poppin.

Flying at 41,000 feet high
Cruising into the night sky
I watch it pass by
Bidding my goodbye.
Birth. Death. Beginning.

And so we dispersed,
Lost her face in the crowd,
Boarding a plane,
She's taking off the ground.

Now she's in her seat,
Do you think of me?
I know I do,
Those beautiful eyes of blue.

The sun's come up,
It's another new day.
Up in the clouds,
She's slowly flying away.

Touching down,
We're back home.
Isn't it weird?
I've left my heart in Rome.

But we have to move on,
It's part of life.
Yet I still long to see,
Your face against mine.

Wherever we go,
We're under the same sky.
Hope we meet again,
Before we have to die.
A year ago I met the most beautiful at an airport on vacation. Probably the greatest holiday I've ever been on. I wish I could see you again, airport girl. Thank you for the best days of my life.

and when you say my name
you'd think I had
one million Delta miles
from the trips my heart goes on
- except it doesn’t
because
my flight was cancelled
I’ve had this ticket for
nine months and twenty-three days
it was non-refundable
but I'm already on the plane
Dunkin’ coffee cup
perched precariously on the armrest
they almost spelled my name right
my phone only has 11%
I knew it could charge
right when we boarded
I thought you were waiting for me
you made paper “welcome” signs
and set up the pullout couch
I’ve been waiting
two hundred and ninety-eight days
and now you're telling me
this plane isn’t going anywhere.
my hopes for us have jammed the engines.
Might submit this to my school's magazine to be published, so feedback would be greatly appreciate (please!). I'm not quite sure if the title suits the poem.

Stood, fixed to the spot the man observed well into the darkness
as far as the eye could see. This was his view, as he nervously awaited his flight. The large windows showcased a cascade of gale and rain, like a Russian ballet, some kind of twisted beauty. Looking outwards towards the sheer magnitude of the storm, blankets of pelting rain gunned down onto the tarmac ground. The only lights were from the large runway floodlights, rocking back and fourth as the wind began to show no mercy. The windows take a battering, as his mind contemplates ever get off this rock.
"Mother nature cannot be tamed, nor can her wrath, it's better to let her be," he mutters.
The loud speaker blurts out "Departure gates have now opened."
And, in this moment his fixed gaze slowly detaches itself from the wrath, away from the demon. Away, from the dance.
A paper plane in the sky
Just like it,I want to fly
Feel the wind in the wings
Letting go of all the painful things

A paper plane in the sky
To escape,I want to try
Leaving the warmth behind
Finally begging to clear my mind

A paper plane in the sky
Freedom,its just a lie
Looking for different ways
I stand here waiting for better days

A paper plane in the sky
Water,it makes it die
Folding paper once again
Next one waiting for the wind to begin.
