why why why
i cannot get into your mind
too distracted, too kludgy
humbled me three times
too busy running
why why why
i cannot seem to ever find
the solace in solo expeditions
deficit without you by my side
too busy running
from my pretty eyes

How the world hoards to see us: a collective
Of compulsive opinions, so prevalent in their hearts
Amid the prettiness sleeping awkwardly in your eyes
You’re so pretty in my eyes- I just wish you could
See what I see, but you’re so blinded by the
Glass splinters in your eyes, remaining something of
A child, still finding themselves- eternally lost

I hope it burns,
But first I hope it makes me forget.
How life swam through my veins an endless death.
I hope it's painless,
falling from dancing,
but I hope I'll feel the last bit of music on me,
glancing.
If the heart ever stops from beating,
don't let the sadness make you start screaming.
Hug me keep on dancing, keep on pouring drinks,
never let anyone stop from having other swings.

Barbed wire disguised as a sanctuary.
Decay in the comfort of a garden full of foxglove.
How long have I been sitting here?
Nightshade sure looks pretty
When it’s far away.

Pretty life goes by--
A cord wire and silence
Between you and I

May God have mercy on our souls,
Blank thoughts, cartoons playing on the wall;
Boredom is the drug with most effect,
By the time we know we're sinners we'll both be dead.

These drugs that make you think like a different person;
Whyyyy would you ever think you were worthless?
Tomorrow's only the same if we leave it that way,
And God knows just how perfect you are to me...

Now and forever
Now and forever
Nooooww and forever
Now and forever
I swear, I swear.

(Dododoo doo dododoo do)



* farewell

Don’t call me pretty.

I am not a delicate
Rose to be plucked
At your fleeting desire.

𝘕𝘰.

I am
Visceral
Venomous
Vibrant.

I am not a willow
Bending in the time
Of your gusts.
A pastel shade
Of pink, meant to be
Seen, but not noticed.

𝘕𝘰.

Don’t you realize?

Locked lips,
Can’t get enough of the flavour
Of your sweet kiss,
need another taste of it
Your fingers between mine
Feeling enchanted by your smile
Each magical moment
Just us two
I know there is nothing else
I’d rather do
then just lay here with you

You’ve got that infinite
Kind of love
The type that always lasts  
Until the end of time
Never get tired of looking
Deep into your enamoured eyes
As sparks fly between you and I
I’m obsessed with your design
Are you tired,
From running through my mind?
Only place I wanna be
is by your side

All these adventures
All these songs we share
Your cuteness is more
then I can bare
Your so beautiful
Can’t help but stop and stare
I love the way you want to model
All the different outfits
that you wear
You do it with vigour and flare

You’ve got that infinite
Kind of love
The type that always lasts  
Until the end of time
Never get tired of looking
Deep into your enamoured eyes
As sparks fly between you and I
I’m obsessed with your design
Are you tired,
From running through my mind?
Only place I wanna be
is by your side

Conversations so deep
Between you and me
An ocean overflowing
with pure devotion
Filled with loving emotion
To the depths of the sea
My heart bleeds
You’re all I need
You’re all I see
So in love with you
Destined to be
Together forever

You’ve got that infinite
Kind of love
The type that always lasts  
Until the end of time
Never get tired of looking
Deep into your enamoured eyes
As sparks fly between you and I
I’m obsessed with your design
Are you tired,
From running through my mind?
Only place I wanna be
is by your side

Holding a long forgotten bottle
Spritzing it into the air
As the particles sparkle like pixie dust
Glistening gently as you stare

Breathing in the luscious scent
That reminds you of the past
A nostalgic fever rushes over
From the days you wore it last

Flooding your mind like a river
Overwhelming you with youth filled visions
From the you who wore this delicate scent
The you who couldn’t make decisions

As the scent fades away
You return the bottle you found
There it will continue collecting dust
Placed gently without a sound
