I probably lost a lot of me,
but thanks, anyways, for setting me free.
I've made it to be the dark that is lost,
so I won't treat it like a loss.
My mind was buckled in shotty,
but now I'm taking back what belongs to me.

Even the ones we love the most
can be a prison to our heart.

I wonder if it's still you,
because no one else seems to fit.

twisting behind
both of my eyes,
opening doors
deepening faith

When tears caress my cheekbones
It's rarely for my sake
This heart of mine empathizes immeasurably
For when another endures pain

My voice may not soothe
My written words unlikely to mend,
But my silent presence offers
Peace and prayer
Until your healing begins

Have you ever noticed that at first,
you weren't really attracted to them,
but the more you got to know them,
and the more you two laughed together,
and the more you both smiled at each other,
and the more you fell in love,
the more beautiful they became,
and now they're nothing but beauty?

You were a classic.
Like a book, I could read you over
and over again, asking you for more stories.
And sometimes they'd be the same, but
each time I'd learn something new, a
different theme, another legacy in
my mind. And like a legend, your
grand tales will be remembered,
shared, and kept worthy of
an insightful story to be
handed down to every
generation, each
to remember
you as a
classic.
For those who have a classic in their life
