A cookie cutter version is what this world wants
So my wild messed up ways I flaunt
You can try to figure me out
As in your face I shout
I'm not like the rest, I never will be
You look but don't see
The uniqueness in me
Theres no other that comes close
No one can make that boast
They ask why can't you be like the rest
Well.....I really don't want to be secound best

My paradise has no mirrors.
So that I can brush my teeth everyday
Without gazing into the face
Of He Who Must Mend His Ways.

My paradise has no mirrors.
So that I can simmer in my lonely blues
Unafraid to lie, not scared if I lose
To He Who Makes No Excuse.

My paradise has no mirrors.
So that I may embrace all my colours in peace
Hidden away from the vision so keen
Of He Who May Never Be.

My paradise has no mirrors
My paradise doesn't instill the need
For betterment. But despite that (or that's precisely why, maybe)
My paradise doesn't have me.

Boy:
It's beyond soulmate
It's beyond cry out
I pretend even in solitude
Nothing can wash away my doubt

Even from a distance
Your heart looks sad
And pictures are misty
Cause they're by another lad

Girl:
My heart may be sad
But my eyes are always smiling
For you, my dearest
You the one and only

But you left me all alone
And for that i might hate you
But we are the truest of soulmates
Therefore i will always love you

Boy:
Those nights you were alone
Disgraced my pride
I sat there on the ledge
Watching the tide

The water's so peaceful
With all the stars above
I started gazing and searching
For you, my love

My honeydew
You're presence sets the sun
On fire, in flames
But i will never want to run

Girl:
My love, my heart
You have stolen from me
Don't be upset
I can help you see

Even though we're in love
Even though we said forever
We're not meant to be
We will never be together

You make me blush
No matter what you say
But we have to part
And go our separate ways

We were lost
When we met each other,
We said we finally found
The half of our whole,
But love shouldn't be like that,
We parted ways
To find ourselves,
We were once again lost,
Time passed and the signs
Soon came off,
We found who we are
And before we knew it
Love found us together again.

One day,
They are gonna hurt you in such a beautiful way.
After that happens,
You'll get my sadness.

Then you'll understand,
Why hurricanes
Are named after people
And why you are still my favorite storm.

There is a thousand way
They can show their love,
Getting up before you,
And baking-
Every dish dripping
In your favorite flavor.

There is a thousand way
They will let you know
You are not alone
27 missed calls,
Breathing properly only
When they see you at the front porch

There is a thousand way
To let you know,
How you are the family
They have
And the family they want

There is a thousand way to know,
You have made a place in his heart,
A message at dawn,
Asking if you are alright,
He will go to any length
To protect you.

But you tend,
Not to see
Love in these little thing,
You want grand gestures
Poems written about
The knots in your hair


And some may
Do exactly that
But that does not mean
Their love is superior
To the love that is only spoken
Between two hearts

Yes,
There is a thousand way to show love,
You only have to notice,
And not be blinded by your expectations
To feel them all.
Written for mum, dad, my brother and bestie, in that particular order.

I was looking for ways
To be with you again
I would go the distance
But now I see no hope
I guess fate gave us our time
No more no less
Fate brought us together
But fate is now tearing us apart.

People fall in love
In mysterious ways
With you I fall in love every single day with you
Arcassin B May 2015
By Arcassin Burnham

You find your excuses,
And I'll find mine,
(Watch the sunset rise),
Stay at four seasons,
We could get by with time,
(Watch the sunset rise),
I could have made a difference in your world,
Just along for the ride,
(Watch the sunset rise),
You'll be fine,
And I'll be fine on sunset boulevard tonight.
SESSIONS Chapter 1 Ep

In the dark of night,
he moves quietly as a mouse
Creeping and sneaking

In the light of day,
he pounces and plays
happy and joyous

A companion worth keeping around,
always there to cheer you up
with purrs and brushes of soft fur

A fierce predator,
killing whatever scurries in front him

A sacred creature,
worshipped by gods and goddesses
statutes and shrines, all for him

An omen of bad luck,
people shake in fear
when they see this harmless creature

Why fear such a gentle creature?
Why leave them on streets,
alone and hungry?

On the streets,
scavenging for scraps of food,
cold and shivering in an alleyway.

In a shelter locked up in a cage
surrounded by so many others like him,
wondering why he isn’t loved.

In his new home,
surrounded by loving people,
Warm embracing and kind words.
XI
A perfect gift,
a perfect pet.
Kind and gentle and calm
XII
A mess not worth having around
A nuisance you have to clean up after.
Noisy and mischievous
XII
A black cat,
alone in the world
finds his way home
to a family that only see the good in him.
