I haven't felt happiness
Not in a long time
Then you came to me
My mornings dream
Simply sweet
Forever with me
Oddly enough my reason to be
Just like the leaves you can change into something beautiful
Just like the leaves you can fall to the ground and get lost in the wind
Just like the leaves you can be any color
Just like the leaves you can stay
Just like the leaves you to can get old and *****
Just like the leaves you can be played with
Just like the leaves you can be thrown out and lected alone
Leaves leaves leaves
Beautiful colourful hopeful
4th
You deserve
the same amount of love
you invest in other people

kahel
if the universe would grant me one thing…
i wish you loved me again
like before,
like the first time i offered you sunflowers,
when your eyes locked onto mine,
when you loved me // the most.
if we’re just a little bit brave to fight for our love

A Friend
Your ironclad promises
You make and swiftly break
Pleading that I believe in you
Things I don’t give—
You take
every
so often
a sequestered
hideaway
is
the best
place
to soothe me

solitariness
is
totally
free from turbulence
Love is a
four letter word-
As so is time.

As the love-
you have for one;
Is time you spend.

The time in love
as what to give-
Also a four letter word.

Spend the time
you give to one-
To the fullest,
as to show true love.

Eryri
Skeletal arms, leafless
Surrendered to the season

Patient is the life of a tree
Tolerant of unceasing change
