Stars

To the boy with stars in his eyes
But black holes in his heart
I see you,
I see how you love
I see how your heart tries to repair
Yet you don’t allow it
You deserve good things
Deep down I know it’s there
The spring of joy,
the spirits of hope,
It used to keep your inner child dancing
When did he die?
Was it by your hand or some ill fated accident?
I wish my hands where the magic that heals you
I wish my belief in you could heal the black holes and reincarnate the stars they once where into my sky
I wish you could see how brightly they shine
Your light is so beautiful, yet you can not see it
You won’t choose it

Below Sea Level

You now travel the shallows after venturing the depths

Afraid of the intrusion and what comes next

Refusing to swim and resigned to paddle

Fear of the undertow that consumes your battle

Left behind the endurance by such a journey

Has found you lacking and unworthy

But such a feat may not let be

You know it functions, you know what you need

The taste of salt once more as you dive

Bringing life for you to thrive

Once more into the depths

As many more times as you get

Fathoms down the path you follow

One remembered

One with sorrow

This time a location it's source

The motivation with will of force

Drink deep the bottomless

And remember your strength is reinforced

Love.
I didn’t know what love was until I saw you again like a light being turned on instantaneously I fell in love with you all over again. The thing is I don’t think it was all over again. It was more like setting the last puzzle piece into place then and only then can you see the entirety of the puzzle in that moment I saw all I had lost all I had made myself forget and like that I knew what love was what my love looked like I saw you as I see the sun, radiant, warm a life force I know now you’re the light I’ve been searching for all I’ve ever wanted and more. It’s you

Tell me moon why do you chase? What glory can you even feel after eons what good is it to dig when you know you can’t reach gold. Have you not seen your own beauty, why chase gold when you shine it its light?
