As I walked
My footprints left behind

As I smiled
My sorrows fell back

As I blushed
My pain Fell in love

As I loved
My haters melted down

Don't speak harshly,
Your words will form swords in me

Touch my cheek; speak gently,
And they will form worlds in me

what happens
now
when
i don't love you
anymore?

When I say you are my light
I mean you are a soft glow
Gentle for the moths to gather round

if our love is a ship
then we are two lovers
lost at sea
bound to sink
in our own demise

"Have you ever screamed into the night,
until your throat was raw and dusk left to hide?"

"Never have I ever."

"Have you ever walked the halls with tears streaming down your face?
Well, they might as well have been a mirror,
because of all the people who stared,
bewildered."

"Never have I ever."

"Have you ever lost someone,
and tried to fill the empty void in your soul,
only to lose that person too?

Haven't we all?

Shouldn't we all?"

"Never have I ever." they said; a blunt lie at that.
