it might take me a lifetime
to love anyone as profound as i loved you
that is, of course
if i ever dare to love anyone at all

Enjoy this random poem I wrote in school!
They'll stand between night and day,
And wish for a home where their heart'll stay
And I shall say:
We were born travellers, born to roam;
No town or city my whole heart'll hold.
No land my feet will belong,
As long as they move along,
Past the fires in many a warm hearth:
In this one land that we call Earth.

Living in limbo
It’s like coming down from a high
Somewhere between where I was and where I thought i would be
Living in this space in between the walls
My future no longer exists
My plans are cancelled
And my hopes dashed
I exist as if on a foggy road
Not knowing how to turn back
Or what lies ahead if I keep going.

you watched me burn in hell
i watch you burn on paper
in words i fail to spell
was where i built our shelter
tonight i will abandon it
come and see what i have lit
on fire in my dreams
where no one hears my screams
-multasuntcausaebibendi (poem: "burn")

I had dreams too, you know? Dreams of a lost future and our shadows dancing in the narrow paths of what-if's. Dreams of all the burned bridges, air filled with toxic smoke of a fire we didn't start, but never tried to extinguish. I wish you could have saved me, little mouse, I wish I would have allowed it. We were always meant to collide, but we were doomed from the start.

i'll be yours
and you'll be mine
forever and always
we shall combine
our tangled hands
to the depths of our souls
breathe in the love
that escapes from our lungs
that is the path
we must take on
to salvage each other
from dusk till dawn
so hold on tight
while we take flight
on this journey together
becoming one, forever

Feelings are denied, emotions are unseen, and thoughts are considered useless, yet I felt my heart dropping, my stomach turning, and my hands freezing. How much of it is just in my head?
