I use to like the sounds of clocks ticking.
It calmed me down.
But then i realized that it's just a constant reminder
that time is running out.
A quote I wrote.
tender mercies slip past the
shattered glass around my feet
I should have worn shoes today
but I looked in the mirror, and I forgot.
mosaic shards of pinks and blues
reflect back the brightest sun to my eyes
it's not so bad, no
it's not so bad.
distant hymns echo between
the pine trees all around
and I am found
my heart is full, my heart is full
and I am found.

From nine to half past eleven did
I view what life was before my, our,
no, my, wait what?

We kissed in that new couch,
when we hid it was amazing,
when we ran, we ran for love,
to love and to forgive, we ran.

I jumped and crossed a border,
screamed my way out of it in French
got sprayed on by ex-friends
and now I stand alone, in my bathroom,
someone told me you don't do sleepovers with boys.

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I'll  hold you when shadows **** your light.

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
Where no one heart dies.

Come away with me and we'll kiss on a mountaintop
Come away with me
And my love for you will never stop.

Come with away with me
So I don't drown when I leave
Come away with me
And teach me gently on how to breathe.


And when you choose not to come
Hear me whispering:
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light

*You and I'll be safe and sound
I went behind the house,
to the old garden.
No one came here anymore.
It was old
overgrown
forgotten.
Most of my family called
waste of space
waste of time to fix
its ugly
Don't bother.
I looked at it differently.
I saw the beauty.
It was hidden,
the weeds were a mess,
but they were intertwined beautifully.
Then as i stood, the light hit it.
The place lit up.
After a while
i left.
Leaving it,
to sit alone,
but it sat beautifully,
even in its ugly.

— The End —
