I traced the texture of your words
Like my heart was blind
And your voice was braille
Oh what I would do just to feel your arms around me
Your warmth keeping my cold body warm
I want to feel your head rest with mine
Arm in arm
Happy
Oh what I would do for you to be mine

Yesterday I cried to the moon
as she wiped my tears away
made my worries disappear
so I could sleep again.



Today I smile at the sun
and it shines back on me,
what a wonderful world
to be alive;
to be me.

A goodbye to you is a day in autumn
when the leaves fail the fall.
Stuck in the middle of changing.
     A silence where there
  should be laughter.
  I'm empty
     Stuck.
                 I'm lost in the memories
                                           I shouldn't care.

She was a beautiful disaster
waiting for you to rebuild her.

I step behind you,
stumble over rocks and   someone's lives.
but you don't turn around.
perhaps you are long gone in this universe.
a star, that died millions of years ago, but still pierces the thick blackness.
is somebody listening?
it's too quiet out here.
explode with noise.
you walk ahead swiftly-
I can't keep up.
Froze like a popsicle in summer sun,
dripping down.
i only walk where you were,
only am what you've been long ago,
only breathe what you exhaled.
am I the already non-existant star,
the light of which still lingers in the air?

Midnight
you don't often know
that you've trodden through hell
until you're out of it
because
hell isn't always
burning or pain or agony
sometimes instead
it is love and lust and longing
it's not always
isolation or depression or winter
but instead
it's the touch of a lover
who means you harm,
the lies from the malicious
covered in sweet honey
most of the time
your hell is personal
and not a burning flame
rather
it's the devil
disguised as something
or someone
you love
