You are the tide
Captivating and deceiving
Hope was built on unsteady sand
Sea and sky envied our embrace
Our hearts heavy and fingers intertwined
You traveled a thousand miles
Before I ever saw you leave
You are the stars
Beautiful and far away

i hate that it's always about looks
a lot of people need to realize that looks fade anyway
and then what are you left with? personality
which is what matters in the first place

thank you all

touch back down
if only for a moment let me look at you
those thieving winds sweep sweetly
and strike with cunning perfection
familiar waves crash like rogues upon alabaster skin
her hair tangled in the heaving tide
heart heavy and lungs filled with disaster
such a piercing lullaby

thank you everyone :)

i'm living in a world
of assembled metal monsters
and robotically stacked windows
a world where the most inspiring quote is
'everything happens for a reason'
now everyone is looking for forgiveness
and the answers to their panicked prayers
streets are scattered and falling in shambles
with broken hearts and shattered dreams
from people who throw things away
just because they're afraid of feeling
everyone is desperate for love
and a reassurance that they deserve anything at all
i was taught the world was all about love
but somewhere in the chaos
of intertwining platinum branches
and hate cascading from foreign clouds
i guess that got mixed up
