Esther

Twirling, taunting,
Fluttering, flaunting,
Silver with optimism,
Wishing on a star.

Sitting in the park this evening watching the sun go down behind the nor’west arch.

‘Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.’
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Splintering

Tell me
This not the end

Tell me
You will make amends

And maybe when I come around-

Tell me
That you love me still

Tell me
You won't ever ****
(this feeling in me)

And maybe when I come around
Maybe when I come around
This stale air will breathe life

Maybe if I tell myself
Maybe if I tell myself
I am the reason why

It's okay. I have been alone all this time. I must have been mistaken.. fallen for your lies. "Friends" you said; "A joke" I say. I just hate to be alone, so lets pretend until I may go. I promise I will leave you alone. Lets just wait.. two more years.
