The sun rises and shines in
her eyes. The world in her hands.
Oh, this one has great big plans. I’ll love
you until my chest is still. You’ve taught me
to breathe. You’ve taught me to feel.
I’ll love you until the day I die.
I love you, no lie.

Pushed perceptions
Today is another
Day like yesterday
I try to find something

But for all the positive quotes I read
All the pushed perceptions that should make this better
I still sit here empty
I still sit here in sorrow
Longing for a life I never had

Times Of Desperation
“I need you more than anything.
But I’m too scared to admit
my desperation for you.”
I can feel you everywhere around me like a fog in the night. Creeping along the dew-kissed grass. I can hear you whispering through the trees. And it sounds as if they’re trying to whisper right back at you. I want to call out your name. Reach into the darkness for your hand. Because I need you more in this moment than I’ve ever needed anything in my life before. But I’m too scared to admit to myself that I’m desperate for you. Like I’m freezing and you’re the warmth that will soothe my aching bones. Maybe, if I’m brave enough to let your name escape my lips, that will break the spell and bring you back to me.

Because now, without you,
all I feel is lost.
And lost…
