iris by goo goo dolls really is insane though. I'd give up forever to touch you? you're the closest to heaven I'll ever be? all I can breathe is your life? and I don't want the world to see me cause I don't think they'd understand? when everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am? does anyone hear me.

Light, it sheds, it shades,

Chasing darkness as it fades.

But look again—do you see?

What stands within its glow

Becomes a shadow, lost below.

Is it our eyes? A trick of sight?

Illumination turns to night.

What should be seen, now undefined,

A silhouette—an outline confined.

Oh light, is it you? Is it me?

You blind to show, yet claim to see!

Believing it, that you’re revealing it,

Yet what you do is obscure,

But be what may, to my sight, you allure!

Orphic // mysterious and entrancing, beyond ordinary understanding.

the first silver lining of the day

when the sunlight spills through the windowpane

unraveling the hush of night

soft, golden, unafraid

it tiptoes across the cold dark room

gently tracing forgotten corners

subtly embodying all in its path

as shadows fold into its embrace

bask in that morning glory

soak in the warmth that engulfs

a quiet promise draped in gold

a yellow blanket of gaiety

because

here comes the sun

the first silver lining of the day

apricate // to bask in the sun

Heathcliff: everyone has their ghosts-

Heathcliff: mine is Catherine, and she haunts me and me alone, are we clear?

Mr Lockwood: wtf

Hieu Minh Nguyen, from “Staying Quiet"

[mariebitterbutter]

wilting, withering, seared and dry

brittle petals crack and lie

prickly twig, it snaps in two

thorns that once pierced, now untrue

fragrance fades to empty air

a silent loss beyond repair

yet the tilting rosette speaks

of eternal love it seeks

a tenderness that never dies

an everlasting love that lies

within the heart, a quiet grace

a love that time cannot erase

schatzi // sweetheart, darling
