I cried out in despair
from the depths
of my human heart
Mother! Mother!
Don’t leave me alone!
Father!
Why have you left me
to rot in the dust?
and then I saw
they were dust
I reached out my hand
to take hold of theirs
and they no longer shrank back in fear
now they only disintegrated into ash
and blew away with the slight breeze
kissing my cheek
I looked and saw
I was not dust
I am not ash
The point of a flower is not to pick it
and arrange it like so.
The point of a flower
is only to witness it grow
and then die
and grown once again to Be U Ti Ful
Two lives are not enough
To tell you how much
I love you

the heart is fragile
there is a reason its shielded by a cage
the heart needs the eyes of a person
who knows love
so do not hand such a delicate thing
into the hands
of the blind

you replied at 3am saying you were missing me

he knew their voices
were not songs
that people danced to
and their eyes were not
framed blue paintings.

they were not everlasting.
they just made
this world
feel everlasting.
just some thoughts i had in my mind after listening to a sad song. Seize the day, guys! also sorry for repeating the title so many times
