If i'm a sunflower
You are my sun
Your warmth & light enlightens me
& Bestows energy to my soul
When you rise up
I always turn to see your face
When you come to me in the morning
I really start growing,my darling
When you come to me in the noon
Floating,tossing & dancing in front of you
When your rays kiss me
I bow down my head and shy
When your brightness hugs me
I happily move and bloom
When your light shades
By God my face fades
When you hide behind the clouds
My crying voice louds
When you become sad
I also feel so bad
When in the evening you show red light
Me turn pale,old & lose my sight
When you go away to home
My loneliness starts killing me
When you say good bye
I finally wither,fall & die

You said we could be 'just friends'
Look into my eyes and tell whether the way I look at you is the way friends look at each other or not

when your body burnt to ashes-

I stopped believing that God was real
If He was real, why weren't my prayers answered
Why wasn't all my tears on New Years Eve accounted for
Why wasn't I even gifted enough to say goodbye one last time

I stopped believing love is real
It wasn't strong enough to keep you from leaving
It wasn't true enough to make you last one more night
Everything I had grown to love was built on a lie

when my friend fell into pieces-

I stopped believing that strength is real
If you could fight all the years of pain, why was this one any harder?
If he was tough as steel, why did the tears run down his face?
Everything I had grown to believe was built on a lie

I stopped believing in promises
You said you loved each other and then you both hated each other
You said I would get better and yet I find myself thinking of a million different ways I could take away all of this
Everything I had tried to put my faith in, was a lie


This life is nothing, and I am nothing.
I have nothing to lose and I give up.

*Death, you win.

subpar star
you're only hurting yourself,
putting in all this effort,
for people who don't give a **** about you

you would comb the earth
a thousand times over
searching for a pin
if they asked.

they wouldn't even bend over
to pick up a pencil for you,
let alone risk cutting themselves
trying to mend your shattered glass heart.

For tears that fall
On hollow cheeks
When the weeks feel like years
And the years feel like weeks.

And you sit by a grave
Where the roses grow
But the rose that you seek
Is buried below.

You have my heart
Heavy with sorrow
For the velvet rose
With no tomorrow.
Absolutely over the moon (if a little shocked) to see that this piece made the daily.  Thank you all so much for your comments - I promise to reply to you all individually at some point soon.  It was an extremely emotional, difficult, but ultimately cathartic write. Dedicated to our wee Shane, who we will never forget ***

Outside these walls the fury rings
Screaming over broken things
Do I stay and wait for dawns gold wings
Or shall I risk what nighttime brings

Outside these walls amongst the roar
As black waves crash upon glass shore
And moonlight streams across the moor
The sea and sky do clash in war

Outside these walls I wish to go
Into night as dark as wings of crow
Where midnight moon doth not sink low
But casts instead an eerie glow

Outside these walls the monsters leer
I swallow an unbridled fear
As safety now is all but near
Outside these walls that keep me here

Listen

Listen closely

Listen hard

Listen long,

Listen like the last thing you will hear
is your own heartbeat
straining from its cage of ribs
to fly with the others

Look

Look closely

Look long

Look hard

Look up to that velvet sky like it is the last time
you will truly see those reaches
and watch as your brilliant soul flutters
in rhythm with those stars

Listen closely

Look long

Listen hard

Pinpricks of light above you
are a thousand souls shining as they dance
watch in wonder as you join them
those glimmering crystals of light

in the far off reaches of the universe

in the dark and unending night
