Leave for the crows
To peck at,
Desecrate
The body of what once was full
And alive with the promise of a happy life.

Leave for the birds
The seeds of what we tried to grow
But you chose
To plant a secret garden.

Scatter
The wreckage of what we built
Upon the soil and hope
If we try again
In time the harvest will thrive.

I wrap myself in your promises
As they roll off your tongue like velvet,
A cloak that keeps me warm like
Your arms that do not lie.
Your eyes
All the colors of the earth,
A tunnel to wonderland where I trip
And fumble
And stumble my whole way
But you're always there to catch me
As I fall.

Sleep sound, love,
And the let myself and the shadows handle the world for the night.
I'll keep the blanket straight and the darkness will cater your dreams.
I'll trace the constellations on your back and the darkness can give them a place to shine.

If my river of thoughts had a sound
You would hear the current pulling me,
Ripping me down
To the bottom of the low I've built myself
Under waves where I cant breathe.
And no one hears the screams for help
Because every gasp for air i take
I start to enjoy my lungs filling with water
Because I know it will soon be quiet.

Flowers do not bloom within her.
Seeds do not sprout
And the only roots she sees are her own,
Withering with age and leaving her to find her way alone.
This temple sees only weather,
Torrential abuse because it doesn't do its job
It fails
To produce
Anything.
Nothing.
Every passing week is simply another reminder that
At the end of the road
There will be no semblance of immortality,
The end of the road will be just that.
The end of her,
Her name,
Her grief.
Gardens bloom around her,
But the willow weeps and dries up.
She may keep her sleep,
But that's all she'll have at the end of the day.

Maybe the reason I thought your eyes were a different color
Was because they seemed so dark
So heavy with worry and sadness.
I didn't see the sun shining in your eyes,
Didn't realize the grass was gleaming,
Bursting like flowers in the summer time.
Maybe you just needed a little love to help them grow.

I love you like the sound of the ocean
Before I even heard it coming it ripped me off my feet and sent me smiling,
Tumbling in a wave and I was full of fear
And excitement all at the same time.
