Julia Celine Nov 2018
When the days grow colder
And I'm covered over
By snow and icy sleets
I'll find the comfort I'd found in you
In pen on empty sheets
I don't need you anymore
page after page after page
these words are always about you

Julia Celine Nov 2018
I don't want to burn down in flames
And say
Remember when it was just embers
And I ignored it?
Remember when I felt the heat
And I let it get away
As passion
And warmth?

Remember when the cracks in the floor
Were pretty little imperfections
And not the gaping ravine we see before us now
And long before it was able to swallow us whole
I had the opportunity to walk away?

Then would I save myself this agony
At the cost of your love?
Or would I drown myself in darkness
And lose the stars above?

Darling, I can't promise myself you'll stay
I can't guarantee at the end of the day
After all the things I've learned
I'll look at you the same

Because if I can break myself away
Before the waves drag me far in
If I could let go of my love for you
Maybe I have the chance to love again

I am so sorry
Are the words that I want to tell you
I am so sorry
But I was not able to

I am so sorry
For just leaving you behind
I am so sorry
But it's the only way that I have in mind

I am so sorry
That I failed you
I am so sorry
But I did all the things that I could do

I am so sorry
I say these words in the air
I am so sorry
Oh how I wish that I could be there
Julia Celine Nov 2018
I always pondered her ocean eyes
Her future, I saw, beyond them lies
Vast, encompassing an open world
And past the limits of the shore, her brave waves curled

My love washes away all my worries
Drowns out my misery
And now as she sets sail to sea
I worry how far she'll sail from me

So I whisper to the winds, "Go easy"
I barter with the tides
I beg the skies to open up
And let the stars align

Lend her light when shadows casted
Obscure the deep unknown
My love, she directs with the sun in her chest
Rooted down to the core of her soul

And I know she doesn't give up easy
Sometimes she may put up a fight
But to see her blue eyes shine like diamonds–
There's nothing like that sight

So follow each adventure
I don't doubt'll yield victory
Watch her learn and grow and grow and thrive
Please, ensure her lasting safety

As she travels to distant destinations
Shine on and when she's ready
Construct a map of constellations
And lead her home to me

Someone stole my color
And threw it to the wind
Scattered like ashes
I don’t know if I’ll ever find it

Someone stole my color
From the face I know so well
I saw it in the cotton candy clouds
And the teal ocean swell

Someone stole my color
I guess that’s where it went
The world looks so much brighter
Like something heaven-sent

Someone stole my color
And that’s what no one knows
Depression isn’t black
It’s the color of a rose

It’s the light orange in a sunset
And the yellow of a peach
Light blue, my favorite color
So simply out of reach

Purple like my favorite eyeshadow
No, lavender, I’d guess you’d say
And my favorite music artist
Although he has passed away

Someone stole my color
Now everything’s too bright
I suppose sometimes darkness
Isn’t the opposite of light

Someone stole my color
So I’ll wear grey and black
As if in mourning
Until I get it back

— The End —
