despite change, your starlit eyes have remained the same.
mystify my conscious state of mind.
building upon despondent actions with elated undertones.
a bird constructed out of leaves represents my fragile heart.
beautiful but so easily broken apart.
ocean currents drag me under with no escape.
hoping you'll hold me if i choose to stay.
wondering tirelessly if i'll occupy your heart endlessly.
swimming infinitely towards your afterglow.
i should've been cautious when i refused to go.
melancholy rose searching for a home.
insidious mindset stranding you alone.
turbulent thoughts always present.
feeding into false control and beginnings.
i haven't truly believed you've missed me.
my hands reach out but you're already gone.
the mellow music lays at our fingertips.
alluring iridescent paint gloss on your skin.
will one of us eventually win?
is this a game we're participating in?
my foolish ways finally catch up to me.
living without the need.
continuously calling out for someone to help me.
my throat chokes once again.
memories from a few years ago are an altered reality.
at least, it seems that way.
i can't comprehend the adjustments waiting.
but the future is looking brighter than it ever has before.
