During the hours between 12 and 3
Usually contain an untitled me
For who I am
I cease to be
During the hours between 12 and 3

But during the hours of 4 and 8
The world begins to take a shape
But not me
For I'm still free
During the hours of 4 and 8
I'm tired

I can't touch you with my fingers
or my words

because my fingers would startle you
and my words mean nothing

but I can smile about you
and hope you do as well

even though hope is the word
that can startle us the most

it's what we really need
inspired by a tumblr post

If the sun set everyday
So that the moon could breathe
Then their love story
Would be a tradgedy

But what if
The sun set everyday
So that the moon could shine
And everyone could see its beauty
Just as the sun did
Idk I've always loved the moon/sun comparisons

I hate this (but not you)
This feeling of everything inside
So I bury it into the darkness I collect
But it manages to break through
And I smile when it come back

Yet I hate it (still not you)
Because I no longer know the feeling of sleep
And my eyes scream for them to close
Yet my mind doesn't answer properly
And everything feels like a tornado

Yet I still smile
And breathe
And I live with it
Because nothing will eat away at my sadness as quickly
Even though I laugh to drown out the sound
It doesn't compare

So I hate it because I don't know it
And I like it because I want to
feelings are bad don't have them

I love the way the moon hangs in the sky
because whether it's surrounded by darkness
or shrouded in daylight
it still remains beautiful for all to see
I stayed up till 6:00 am the other day and I loved the moon

you took in a breath
and then two
and then three
and then you smiled

when you moved you laughed
once, twice, three times
I joined you without knowing
and again you smiled

I didn't understand why
who were you
who are you
but then I looked up

I saw the moon winking at the earth
I saw flames engulfing the horizon
and I knew you then
like a key always knows it's lock

you reached into the universe
and hung the stars in the sky
so you laugh because you're beautiful
and I join in because I know it
this came to me at midnight and it makes -10 sense

What a Fragile Thing you are
With blood that falls between your heart
With lungs of steel made from hurt
With years of pain you never earned

What a Timid Thing you are
With scars that mark your arms
With tears that stain against your cheeks
With time that never seems to sleep

What a Scared Thing you are
With bones that crack in the dark
With eyes that glow of unscathed light
With love that breaks your will to fight
But you'll be okay
