Chiaroscuro
Alexa Gaskill Jan 2021
Last night I dreamt of you and I,
Before you left and said goodbye.
We danced around the sun,
I’ve never had so much fun.
Forever has just begun.
Golden beams of light,
So pure and so bright.

Once I had awoken,
My heart was broken.
Upon a darkened night,
Flames of love burning in sight,
Our shadows return in spite.
What we composed is tattered,
Why did our love shatter?

for my love
Alexa Gaskill Aug 2020
i am the moon
and you are my sun
nights dark and long without you
but once you shine
the whole world becomes alive again
all the stars in my sky
yet you are the greatest one

my heavy heart
Alexa Gaskill Jun 2020
i always wonder why people leave
but it’s because they can’t take the weight of my love

every time someone new comes along  
i give them my whole heart
and they aren’t able to carry it
so they drop it

now i’m heartless and out of love

honey and glass
Alexa Gaskill Jun 2020
there are girls who are made of honey and glass
so sweet and so transparent
dancing in the golden sun
they are seen in the light

i wished to be one of them, wished for more
but i was made for the moon
i am beautiful but not everyone can see through the darkness
filled with dreams and secrets
only to be shown at night

at night i’m alive
i dream in color of a life worth living
then awake to a world of black and white
i watch the hands on the clock countdown
minutes are turning into hours
as my life remains still
just living to survive
and surviving just to live

high tides
Alexa Gaskill May 2020
tonight my tears will fill the ocean
i will dream of you and i by the shore
but the waves grew beyond us
you dove in head first when you knew you couldn’t swim
deeper you went
i tried saving you but you wanted to drown
into the blue where i once knew you

the flower and the bee
Alexa Gaskill May 2020
you see me blooming in the sunshine
you fly over and stay for awhile
it’s for the honey you say
but then you fly alway
my petals start to fall
now you don’t come at all

— The End —
