“But then when the storm is over and the night falls and the moon is out in all its glory and all you’re left with is the rhythm of the sea, of the waves, you know what God intended for the human race, you know what paradise is.”

— Harold Pinter, from The Complete Works; “Ashes to Ashes & Other Plays,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

He died, and my heart started breathing water.

When tonight

I closed my eyes to hear what your voice might sound like in a whisper filling me with what your breathe might feel like pouring into a dream, made true when I open my eyes

[a-bird-with-no-song]

You ripped my heart out of my chest but the sad thing is I picked it up and handed it right back to you.

                                                        you need not worry                                                            about being lost,                                                    for you have found a home                                                    nestled between my bones.                                                           sharing in my flesh,                                                       entwined within my soul.                                                            seek shelter there,                                                        whenever you are lost                                                           and i shall find you                                                       and remind you of home.

a thousand times...

I’ve written you a 

thousand love letters

you will never read….

I’ve played  you a

thousand songs of want

you will never hear…

I’ve penned you a

thousand sad poems

you will never get…

I’ve drawn you a

thousand different times

you will never know…

You will never know

just how much I

actually love you.

People are not rain or snow or autumn leaves; they do not look beautiful when they fall

but I swear to God…they can be so beautiful when they get back up.

NaPoWriMo- Day 30

Just like the song says

even when you're falling for me

I'll leave you broken

In the end, I will fail you

Just run away while you can

NaPoWriMo- Day 26

Tanka: (5-7-5-7-7)

________________________________________

A sigh of relief

once was the heart wrenching sound

of me breaking down

not scared to be without you

but I lost myself.
