"Keep your eyes closed, love. sometimes all you have to listen is to what the sound of the waves tells you to do."

When I was much younger, beaches were my second favorite places. I still love watching waves as they go by, crashing against each other and the whole process repeating all over again.

Escape

Society is a prison.
It traps you in
And steals your freedoms.
Makes you conform.
Until you are normal.

So why don't we escape?

Because we are afraid.
Afraid of being alone.
Loneliness rots the mind
It steels the heart.

We all decided
Being trapped together
Is better than to be free
Alone.

Unravel yourself you said
you said I have been bound up soo tightly
it is hard to even begin unknotting
it is hard to for anyone to decode the arithmetic's in my mind
you said I never let myself feel what I have never felt instead
you said I lay dormant awaiting a match

But I know of these foreign blazes that come and consume like a flame
sometimes I want to be immersed in their heat
it is what I crave
but I feel like the more I run towards burning fire
the more the smoke begins to suffocate
you said I should let go

i may have
ending things with you
but i didn't
end things with myself
and most truly,
that's the only
relationship
i need.

i am not
in love
but surely
i write
about love
because poetry
makes you fall in love
all the time

- fall in love in all sorts

i don't wanna look at you and see love

10:32a.m.
i looked at you and saw love

5:43p.m.
why do you look at me and turn away?
The scariest part of abuse
Is you always think
Well that's can't possibly be me
As you lay there
