In
a faraway land the sun used to shine
The painted flowers
that once lived are now dead
The seasons change-
they don’t wait
I blew the dandelion
and the pieces that once fit together are now gone
Life is as thin as a match
You can light it up
and illuminate the room
Or you could break it
without intention
Is it possible to pass
a test you did not prepare for?
The map directs me to
the right, but why do I go left?
My journey is filled
with stop signs but why can’t I stop?
My words speak, but no
one hears,
My sight’s clear but
why can’t I see?
Your light differs
from mine
Is pretending
considered a lie?
Autumn steals the
leaves I hide behind,
Winter freezes my
broken heart,
Surprisingly spring
returns my joy,
In my stomach, beautiful butterflies flutter and float,
They threaten to
overwhelm me,
Why does wrongness
have to be so right?
Do you remember the
memories we shared?
In that land that
seems so far away,
I know that summer
must come,
I just want you to
stay…
