the raging sea babysat me & she sang me a lullaby the sky wept though and whimpered & i learnt how to find shelter in her coldest waves i drowned & the joyful rain rinsed my soul from sorrow to find shelter in the pretties of living, was my only blessing in my cores were shells that never stopped singing hoping to wake up to a better tomorrow
life smudged dreams gracing the skies tarnished ink bleeding across the lines of my notebook 12 veins that willed to never surrender a coursing river & a rapid current i took a bite out of the forbidden & she lost herself to sin
she was so young but life on earth broke her a lullaby of stolen love was her story
in the morning, strands of light would escape from the curtains & shine few rays of that happiness on me but not a moment longer, she’d be gone again as i’ve grown accustomed to each morning just like my daily 2 cups of coffee & mandatory poetry hunt that fleeting moment was always a lingering one i knew her to be so sly it wasn’t till the next day did i get to see her again, for only a second too still & all, i remember her clear as day at night in my dreams, when my eyes are closed she’d be there in the hours of midnight till dawn when i’m consumed with tales & stories & so out of tune with the world, i pictured her, & she was there in lyrics, cartoons & movies, she was there too any place my heart took me to, i felt remanats of her in it & i try to track her down but she runs so fast that i could never catch up
from time to time she’d send me postcards from where she is but nevertheless she’s always gone by the time i get there & i would find her leftovers at whatever location she’d lure me to next leftovers; last weeks paper & a broken cd cigarette filters & right where i’d expect, a tv turned on & playing a show or movie, & i knew she had hid something in it for me she left notes for me everywhere, to play with my heart’s strings i assume but there’d also be a letter with a poem written in it, in attempt to soothe my wounds & when i looked hard in those things, i found the secrets of the universe for a second there i felt like i could forgive her for all the pain she has caused me she just knew me so well & i longed to know her the same her ghost remained to haunt my house of memories i missed the real thing & it was enough taste for me to start an aching
