I went to the river with My grandma's dog There is no message I am not in the deep Yet - for the right reasons I will come back in one piece Archangels losing their crowns Minds! Let them I am a thought Nothing and everything divine Bound to expire this afternoon I will do as I please

WISH IT WAS ME

Oh just look at you now. With your girl. Why so sad now? Did you miss your choice?

Cause I remember it all too well Like it happened just yesterday You said I was one of your favourite I was some number in the line You said I really caught your attention just to tell me I was the most broken one of all those girls.

I cried myself to sleep. Yeah, I felt wounded. Your knife cut me deep. Took 2 years to feel a little unpolluted.

But my body remembers (it all to well) As if it happened (just yesterday) With those eyes, you're telling me I was just one of those crazy about you You would just left me standing in the line Building your future with the bestest that wasn't me.

Now I see you wish it was me. Your face is telling that you wish it was me. Cause we're both fun, we're both crazy So mad and broken but also sweet.

You wish it was me. Just like I wished it was me.

There's a story waiting to be told

but I'm not going to tell it.

I will not spend another moment

of my life bleeding pain onto

paper, trying and failing to

illustrate the way kind hearts

become martyrs.

The sleepless night approaches

and my arms are too tired

to write wrongs for much longer,

so instead I sit in darkness and

wait for the dreams to begin.

If I could fly

I would go away

To the pink cotton candy skies

To the white fluffy clouds

To the flower covered fields

To the bright setting sun

To the calming ocean which seems rather loud

To the places I haven’t seen

To the places which bring me peace

But if I could only fly

I would go away tonight.

-wren.

"I'm falling from the stars at the speed of light past Jupiters moons towards my tomb in your love, the way you hold me there's just something sinister about it.. it's the way you love so completely, it makes me think some day when you reach your lips out for a kiss.. I might fall inside you to join the other heartbeats and stop being me to be one with harmony, swallowed in the wallowing grace when all you ever wanted was to stand with someone at your side.. somebody's lips to taste maybe, but darling your grip is so tight I'm really aware of the fact that you might have to save me cause I'm falling into you fast. Hopefully I land on my feet and don't break a leg, cause I couldn't handle your weight if I was weak. But even still I think of you pretty neat, and you are exactly what I need to be a better me.. I was never scared, I'd go anywhere with you and even if I was just a blip, at least I know that I got a kiss on the way. I'm arriving soon cause I'm the pilot on this ride just as the flowers will bloom to my life and your light.."

you are all of the good parts of me, so I hope you don't mind.. I'm leaving the bad parts behind in the stars cause I want to be done crying - eUë

Inter world

I found myself from under

My bare feet, upside down.

I peered down.

And there was an endless sky.

In the crowd, I looked below again

But then there was just me.

The people strolling around

Reflected colours around my feet.

The colours varied, some blended

Some stayed aloof, some faded.

I walked more as time slipped by

Always mirrored by the one down there.

It stayed there, an everlasting companion

Did we even talk to each other?

I found myself from under

My bare feet, upside down.

you want me to describe my love? fine

-

i loved him like a snow storm

loves the dying heat.

and he didn’t love me,

he was clumsy with it.

.

i loved her like the thornbush,

loves the wire fence,

and she didn’t love me,

she always left things unsaid.

.

i loved her like a flood

loves the drowning fauna,

and she didn’t love me,

but her touch was lava.

.

you want me to describe my loss.

here, have my stories,

have my scars and my glories.

loss tied always to fury.

.

here’s what my love looks like:

.

i fixed myself, i unlearned

how to be a dagger, an scalpel,

i took my pieces and ground them

into something that didn’t flounder.

.

love looks like devotion,

loyalty born of adoration, not passion.

it looks like going to bed

early, afraid.

(the nightmares never left.)

.

here is how my love goes:

.

i loved them, i shaped my words

around them and their eyes,

around them and their strengths.

i loved them.

.

and i still do love them, sometimes,

in yearning. but i have found

i can love like

a rose loves the earth,

a child loves the stars,

a bird loves flight,

a glass loves wine.

—you wanted my love without pain (but that’s still in development phase)

love me with the tides

Did you love me?

at my worst--

when i had fallen,

when i had broken,

when i had splintered into fragments of myself

shards of life swirling through the ocean,

beaten and battered by the moon’s tides.

Did you love me?

at my strongest—

when my fury burned

like a thousand suns,

when imploding nebulas

could not compete with my brilliance,

when the tempests and the storms

could not command me.

Did you love me?

at every rise and fall?

because if you did not love me then,

you did not love me at all.

30. I count the days

Like I count stars

In the sky

They pass slowly

And I pass you

But you don’t turn your head

I’ve stared at your face

Enough times to know

Something’s wrong,

But was it me?

Did I destroy

Whatever ‘us’ was?

How can I fix

What was already broken?

there were haloes in her hair from where the sun tried to eat away at her soul a twice-fucked icarus whose wings were made of bubblegum & nail polish & girlhood.

with a mouth stuffed with a thousand fire-lit stars -- some going supernova, some hiding behind her wisdom teeth still forming growing into her jawbone

falling down the back of her throat.

there’s a universe when she cries that spills and breaks what’s left of her heart.

oh, you silly little thing, you have no idea what it means to be human.

Somewhere old friends smile I only ever walk in circles What is an ending if not a beginning As the sky turns dark, breaks in half We stay mesmerised Should I cover one eye Look to the side *******, you knew - black magic now grey The dirt on my hands A part of the holy ground

*****

And /ooooooh/ These midnight Lights, Small seraphim twinkling In twilight Small embers Of another world In another time Let’s mystify Your preceptive mind And dance Under the dying light In my crimson eyes As hearts shatter As worlds burn Midnight lights Tell the small tales of Fireflies In abandoned skies Lost, Still trying to be found

I sit alone talking to the moon at night

I ponder death and she speaks of strife

We wander distantly without morning light

While I speak reveries of a forgotten life

She reaches out to me as I mourn and cry

When the sun rises, we bid each farewell

I state that no one loves her more than

The stars laugh for they know I will fail

As day delves into night I hear her whisper

She speaks of how she misses my smile

The happiness inside, I hear it whimper

It’s been buried there for a long while

As I speak to the moon she seems distant

I ask what’s bothering her on this night

She smiles sadly, but I am insistent

She finally decides to tell me her plight

She knows I am there when I am alone

Only for you won’t return my affection

I simply appear on nights when your gone

I should’ve known to sever our connection

Still the moon waits for me to beckon

She is there always throughout my pain

Sadness and woe though never forgotten

Are always washed clean by her healing

rays.

“Why does the world seem so dark when I’m not with you?”

the sun cannot see itself shine.

the stars cannot see

how hauntingly beautiful their constellations are.

but sight does not do justice

for how they feel.

the sun is a trillion times hotter

than it seems from down here

on earth.

you are a trillion times brighter

when someone else looks

at your light.

when i look at you, i feel like

a million suns collided in my chest,

aching, breathless, alive.

you are so bright, you blind my vision.

i see you, only you,

in the dark, in the crowds.

if only you knew

how brilliant you were.

to my sunshine @frankfurter2020

28. In a voice that whispered

Melodies to lure me

Into seduction

She told me she didn't love me

Her eyes melted into stars

As she shed a tear

For our connection

Burned by my reckless

Selfish abandon of her needs

Over mine.

April 28 2019
