To the hopeless dreamers
You pretty girls and handsome boys
Your "Me Too's" won't go unnoticed
I am sorry something was taken from you
That you'll never regain
That you should've had control of when you gave yourself to a lover
Just know that you're fearless
For in a world of doubt and hopelessness
You're pure hope
Shining bright amongst the night sky
A whole constellation grounded in earth
As you'll all shine on
Have hope
For your love is needed

I am stuck
Believing in this romantic driven fantasy
In a world, that just doesn't seem to have the vacancy
As in the times of plagues and pharoahs
Love sat upon bows and arrows
Bring on your forces nature, let the storm rage
Cause' in the eye of the storm, there's a calming stage
As even the color black has iridescence
For her face is my idea of divine quintessence and the corruption of man's hearts can change from love's presence
Such is that of love's essence

I'd run to the far ends
To the heart of the volcanic oceans
Sacrificial loves, strangleholds
For, she knows me more than I care to admit
You're the only one to know how this gets worse
I'll rush to miss you one more day
Let's go far away
Hearts thrown out days before
Anger risen in boiled sea licked sympathies
Lover's born in times of shame, taught in time to be so tame

Heading west
To where her heart and the sun sleeps
City fall out, I just need a place my lungs can breathe
Just hold me and let's fall asleep
Cause' my heart skips heavy when we were free caught underneath the waves
Cause' this is already bigger than us
It's bigger than you
It's bigger than me
It's bigger than Love
Caught breathless from the start
What she doesn't know is that for her and the 365 days of endless summer, I'd give up these pretty words and my art
For just a compliment a day and the shot at stealing her heart

The taste of the alcohol in your small sips
Wiped away my chapped lips
Arguing for innocence
Both guilty as eachother on our sins
Both creatures we know oh so well
We were warm until we went to hell
Can you tell me how this downfall began?
Cause, I know we didn’t have a plan
How long can we make this last?
Let’s play a game and pretend we don’t have a past

The story of the gorgeous mermaid
Addicted to self abuse
As she could watch the ocean waves
Pink littered oranges in the back drop sky
Yet, she still craves
To be worlds away
With a boy who doesn’t want her back

Tonight, I’ve had my heart broken and so I’m just going to take a break from all forms of communication and such is this. I truly appreciate all of you who admire my work and you’re all fantastic writers, I purely just need some time to re-evaluate myself as an individual. I want to personally thank you all for your support and wish you nothing, but the best in your adventures with beautiful words and emotional delicacies.

With all my heart, I hope to find your words caressing my thoughts in a endless sea one of these days.

-V

Wish it was was me and you
Tell everyone else to forget about it
Wish it was you and me
That I could be with the rest of my days
I just have to make you mine
I know, I know I'm running out of time
It's been raining a lot
So, today I'm telling her
She's the most beautiful girl in the world
Her smile just makes the sun shine
I guess I hope she decides she likes mine
Have no idea, have no plans, running out of time
I just know that I have to make her mine

I never chose to love you with my heart or mind
I chose to love you with all that my soul possesses
Lest my mind forgets and my heart ceases to dance
For in rumination that would be undying

If we make it out alive
Drowning deep in the sea
Pull me back to shore
Cough up the salt licked sympathies
Compass only points to the east
Pointing to thee
For where you are
I will be
Miles high in the deep
Walking in your gardens in ecstasy
Wild flowers crushing beneath our feet
Taking our time drinking the whiskey dipped memories

There's something about falling asleep
With the windows open
In the middle of fall
Hearing the breeze rushing through the crackling of leaves
As they soar so high and flow so low to the grounds beneath
Flowing like memories gone and past
How could you think this would be better for me?
Every now and then, I fear this voice inside my head
It tells me all the lies and says to let go
Then again, there's some nights I hear this voice inside my head
It tells me it's alright and I should hold you close
Uncountable times, forgiving you just to keep you by my side
Unsure why we waste our time
Spending all these gorgeous nights in this life
On and on and on, there's this thing it seems to me
That the leaves will grow back when the time is right
And walking away from what isn't right
Seems to be the only peace
I can get at night

Been a couple days since my breaths ran out the door on me
I've been trying to hold it in, hoping for the day you'll come back for me

Maybe I'm just being blinded by the better side of what we are
I hope, I wish, I can keep the scars you left behind, my northern star

Couldn't believe how much I bled, when the blade was placed by you
Not bleeding blood, tears, or even fears, just pain

You had a hold on my soul
Caught a case of rope burn, lost grip and let me go

I hope you'll be safe in the arms of another.

Run away to our special place
Counting stars in depths of space
Flashing in front of the nights
Open skies and wave crashed twilights
We've been strangers for a while
Lover's pleaded guilty on trial
It seems this time we've been deceived
To the norms of humanities disease
So, meet me back at the shore
We'll make it to the door
We can make it out of this drought
Watch our lives unfurl, running in circles
So, pull me in closer
Fight for our love, love riddled soldier
Can I breathe in your love?
Necessity that brings us above

There she was
The pretty girl at the party
In line at the bathroom
I said let’s talk
But, my liquid confidence is wearing off
Something so sweet, it’s tragic
I bet devils love ya, but I’m not sure
With a laugh that pure
Flames in your eyes I’d love to meet
I miss the look on your face
Lost in a summer haze
Feeling like it’s Coachella
Every weekend
With free spirits
Bound to the flowers on your head
And I loved the way you danced and sang
Oh, I miss the way we danced and sang

Their last argument
She tried her hardest to explain
That there’s places he seems to go
Where she just can’t follow
As she refuses to live within sorrows
His only reply was
“We’ll see if we can survive tomorrow.”

You burned me
For even in the darkness
She shines
Demanding to be her own flame
Soft caressing warnings
"Next time I'll set you on fire."

She asked “What of Courage?”
As if personifying it
Would deepen her own belief in it
As she knew we all feel so cowardly somedays
But, she was tired of feeling tired, even more so of feeling small, for her heart screamed of adventure, lost somewhere in the ocean of it all
She has a lot to learn though
Such as tomorrow when she wakes up
And makes her morning coffee
That walking out that door and living life
Well, that’s pretty courageous
For the world is really big and she might just be small after all

How do you keep moving forward
When every fiber of your being
Is screaming to turn and run back
To the girl of your dreams?
Cause, I get it now
What they say home’s not always a place
For me, it’s a Wisconsin girl

You two reached an impasse
For just tonight
Except peace is always empheral
And tomorrow a heart shall be broken
But, who’s shall it be?

It took only but a few minutes
Finding the worn headstone
Never forgetting
Who could forget such a love
Accepting the silence
Undoubtedly one day my name will disappear
For this cemetery
Is where I've buried myself
For each one of my long lost lovers
From name tree carvings
And spoiled chocolate valentines
To the everlasting reds in the roses of dead petals
Of all the starlights in the brilliance of diamond rings
For a wise man told me
Love is narcissistic
And you only find someone to love you
As much as you love yourself
Not realizing he was wrong, until her beautiful face
Told me she loved me, just to love me

I remember the first time I met her
It was like that first breath of air
I’m the middle of a stark winter
Where the security of your lungs is stolen
Quickened glances from strangers
Maddeningly caught in a room together
There wasn’t anything too special honestly
She was as powerful and savage
As most women are
For she didn’t even notice me
As her mind is always on the pursuit
Of happiness and self love

Out of all the drugs we have to take
You're the one I want to take
Childlike and so regressive
Broken taboo's and unheard messages
Because if I don't, I'll be alone forever
What's wrong with being alone?
Her last whisper was "I'm just not good at it."
Sounds pretty lonely to rely on someone else for happiness
We could still be lover's
As the oceans become red
For the second trumpet has been blown
And the burning mountains
Shall sit the Salt King
Among his throne of the sun and the moon

She told me I had golden eyes
Except lately they just don’t get her high
That must be the reason why
When I look into my own eyes
Love seems to die
It’s a really long process learning to fly
