The Masked Sleepyz
Their ghost smiles,
And always existing files,
Haunt my dreams,
I see him play,
I hear her say,
"I love you dad"
Empty swings in a park,
That mock me by still dances in the dark,
I call out but I know they aren't real,
A darkness that feels,
I can feel their warmth and fright in my dream,
But when I try to hold tighter,
They evaporate into steam,
I guess fate likes to mock me,
When all I see are whatmighthavebeens,
We will see each other soon.
Written while trying to keep my eyes open

Me and you,
We were a perfect day.
Where the sun shone bright
And the sky was the most
Beautiful shade of blue.

Now I can only try
And picture what's left.
A day of fog and grey clouds
And sad rain.

Where did the sun go?

yasmine
blank walls
and empty thoughts
the shadow falling in the back

no one knows who she is
anymore
and they can't ask
because she doesn't know
who she is anymore either

We set out that night
To have the greatest adventure
In the world.

1am, our minds alive
With possibilities and consequences,
Not caring about either.

2am, our bodies shivering
From thrill, fear and cold
Shattered by headlights and voices.

Fear, creeping up between us
Through the water, up to our noses
Barely touching the surface.
It doesn't reach our shaking hands, though,
Steady together.

3am, crouching, leaning as far against the wall as we dare
Concentrating on the top of our heads.
You give me a look that says everything.

4am, trudging through the dark and the grass,
Was it worth it?
It was worth it.

??
When you go and talk to me,
You're the only one I see.
Your face makes me go into shock
My stomach feels like it's a rock.

Sometimes, I have no words to say
For when you make me feel this way.
I don't know if it's in my head,
I don't know if it's what we said.

Two words for you are: so. intense.
This isn't making any sense.
My face always lights up the town
When you say, "I'll see you around."

My happy even beats the sun
It's always there, I'm never done.
It's different every time we talk
You'll be the key, my heart's the lock.

But there's one thing I need to know-
Is it my head, or is it us both?

I remember
Those splendid days
So full of hope
And laced with timeless wonder

Those splended days
Each and every one of them
Loved, as if they were treasures in a chest
As if they were colors and magic, floating through air

Those Sundays
When I would sneak out and peek into the mailbox
Sure that I was invisible to the world
With that same hope

Maybe an early Hogwarts letter?
Maybe an early birthday present?
Something wonderful,
Something just for me

Now and then,
I catch a glimpse of that very same
Sunday hope, still living with magic
Inside of my mailbox.
