Wish you could live forever,
Give my thanks to those I loved,
The parts of me they left,
All their names tattooed on my spine,
Lessons carved in the table tops,
Messages passed down,
Addressed to the girl across the room,
All that spitfire and stern smile,
My innocence lost,
Many nights ago,
All the letters sent,
Destinations still unknown

are also                    a rope,
that saves me from
drowning.
Sorry if you can't read it.
Kinda.

If we are made to survive,
then why is surviving so difficult?

Leigh
I'm here, I'm there,
your shadow, your hair.
Around every corner,
sitting on your shoulder.

You're here, You're there.
You've left me traces everywhere.
A scent in every room,
your face on the moon.

When i'm under the stars,
Lights vast like space,
The World shrinks.
Trapped within
Your Bell Jar.
Yet, Again
I Choke.

Your voice still haunts.
It speaks my wants. It pulls me back into,
the place in which I lost you.
I awake in haste, can't feel my face.
I try to feel something, but just feel nothing.
Like yesterday, I'm a ghost.
I fear the darkness.
I'm just a ghost, scared of the dark.
