i wrap myself around you
and inside you and
outside
anywhere i can reach , and well
i apologize for it
and so do you

we take our apologetic love to the bank
i hibernate for a few days or weeks
you stare at the spider on the ground
we cry inside a bedroom
i cry inside a bathroom
you cry inside a car
while we sink
into this deep sticky love fort
it engulfs us whole
it chokes us
but gives a great massage and
i cant live right now without you, i hate to say it
i apologize for this and everything else before this

Tell me of

Your hopes and dreams
Your beliefs and convictions
Your ambitions and aspirations
Your fantasies and expectations

Talk to me of

Your fears and disinclinations
Your hurts and suffering
Your aversions and grievances
Your trials and tribulations

Speak to me of

Everything that makes you go weak in the knees and scream in frustration
Everything that makes you who you are and who you want to be
Of all the places and things you want to go to and do
Of all the thoughts running through your head and all the feelings you hold dear in your heart

Let me be the one

To help you realise those hopes and dreams
To bask in your convictions of your beliefs
To be beside you when you reach the pinnacle of your ambitions

Let me be the one

To take you to a deeper conversation
Inspired by a song by Yuna, Deeper Conversation.
He reached for the rose, but forgot about the thorns
He reached for the beast, but forgot about the horns
He reached for the future, but forgot about the past
He reached for the journey, but forgot about the quest
He reached for the sun, but forgot about the burn
He reached for the knowledge, but forgot what he'd learned
That light without darkness simply can not exist
Like the possessed without an exorcist
One without the other would have no value
With is you cannot argue
There was a little girl that lived in a tree
She climbed up there so no one could see
She climbed up there so she could just be

She stayed up there so long she got leaves in her hair
She stayed up there so long she no longer cared

She didn't care about the mother missing her child
She didn't care about anything after awail

She was content up there in the sky
She was content up there and no one knew why

How long she stayed up there nobody knew
How long she stayed up there her feet like roots grew

She had stayed so long now she hadn't a choice
She had stayed so long now she no longer had a voice

Don't go looking for her she's no longer there
Don't go looking for her she no longer cares

She had become part of the tree
She had become part of it and no one could see
She had become part of it and now she could just be

That little girl up in the tree, use to be me
Her body quivers and shakes as if she is having an internal earthquake.
Laughter fills her head as her mask covers a smile that is never truly there.
More and more days pass and she just wants to disappear.
‘No one wants the broken’ she thinks to herself as she looks at the treading river below her.
Open waters engulf her into the tides and her fingers reach the sand, feeling the dark all around her.
To judge another is really not your place
You never know how it feels unless you live inside their space
But maybe your just stupid, ignorant, or dumb
Please enlighten me tell me which one

I paint myself blue to remind me of your melancholy;
White to remind me of your smile,so holy.

I paint myself green to represent your calmness;
Yellow to represent your charm.
Pink for the times I knew I loved you,nothing more nothing less;
Purple for the endless times I desired to cup your face in my palm.

I paint myself blue to remind me of your melancholy;
White to remind me of your smile,so holy.


I paint myself red to symbolize your anger;
Orange to symbolize your madness.
Brown for your eyes full of danger;
Black for your soul spilling with grief and sadness.

I paint myself blue to remind me of your melancholy;
White to remind me of your smile,so holy.


I scrub myself to wash your scent off of me;
I mix all the colours until they form one colour.
I wash it all off until my brown skin is all I can see;
I may have lost you but I can see myself clearer.
