It’s a deep cut
Growing into these bones
I resented before

Where I am
God is not
Deadbeat killer
Overdosed alone

Light at the end of the tunnel
Is overwhelmingly bright
Blinded on my way in
Lack of navigation

Heart is beating but
It was meant to stop
This feels really dark to post here but oh well
What's your curse?

Let me talk,
Let me express,
You'll
See me
Utterly
Failed
Miserable
Desperately
Wishing
To
Take
Every
Word
Back.
Good days passed.

We met
We talked
We pretended
We laughed
We considered
We agreed
We exchanged
We left
It was like a kiss from a rose
I knew you were there —
knuckles resting like they didn’t know what to do.
I heard your breath through the wood.

You almost knocked. I felt it —
the air pulling back,
the hush flexing its muscles.

I almost opened the door. I felt that too —
the lock daring me to turn it,
the weight of the air leaning hard against my chest.

But neither of us moved.

We just stood there —
two statues pretending not to be waiting —
except I heard you breathing.
And I know you heard me too.
Your fingerprints linger
on my coffee cup,
while the swirling latte foam
soothes me with each sip,
reminding me how much
you hold my mornings
together.

Coffee is life
Especially in the morning

The earth will burn,
the seas will rise.
The stars will fade,
from empty skies.

The Alps will crumble,
time will bend.
Yet my love for you,
will never end.
The In-between
Serenity        hidden within the     in-between, open      to the curious       minds.

The one's who      see    between the     lines, searching for any adventure,       anywhere they can find.

Inspired by the          ideas, hidden through time     and on occasion          rejected by mankind.

Travelling          world's in their spare       time, treasuring these moment's          they find.

Remembering      never to let others fall              behind, exciting them with their
                                      rhymes.

For these        creature's, do not really          unwind.

Searching              all their lives, these moment's              fufilling them, offering              them to truly feel alive.
