We drove away
Left like that
To see the aurora
Shimmering splendid above
I held your hand
Bit my lip
Astral glow on your face
Smiling so wonderfully
Laying, looking up
Two kids in the wilderness
The light went out
And we never kissed

To Someone I LovedSomeday you will findTo Someone I Loved by ~A-Forest-Grew
The unhappiness you impose upon yourself
Is unnecessary,
That your conflict,
Hidden so deep,
Can be resolved by simply being
Someday I hope you find
The courage to step away
From everything that holds you back
And free yourself from what you have been told,
Indoctrinated,
Force-fed,
And pushed into

And make the declaration
You convinced yourself that you were making all along
While your soul is battle field now,
Shelled and torn by too many worlds,
By mortars disguised as good intentions,
Someday I hope you find your peace

Faceless LoverLover,Faceless Lover by ~A-Forest-Grew
Faceless lover,
Hold me tonight
The air is too cold for me to breathe
Though your time has not come

And I will find the strength to become the person you love

just
so
Had you been running late
Had I never fallen ill
I would not have ever known you
We laughed at the odds
Your faith told you of plans
My disbelief told me of luck
But neither could deny that we felt
That these tangled strings that pulled us together
Were the forceful rigging of a mighty ship
That we might sail all our lives
(Or at least a few years
When we would peacefully disembark)
But grand plans and good luck aren't easily come by
And the frailest of threads can seem a rope
And with all the

Counting GhostsDid you know that you have ghosts? This might surprise you as you’re not dead, but I see them everywhere.Counting Ghosts by ~A-Forest-Grew
I saw one at the gas station today. You pumped gas while I waited in the car. I had wanted to come out and join you, but it was too cold. I twisted around in my seat to watch you. You didn’t see me. In that moment you were your unfiltered self and I loved you. Your ghost is still there, blank faced and watching the meter.
Another ghost sits on my floor. You laughed, nervous but excited, as I teased and poked you. I looked for any excuse to touch you, so you kissed me. Your ghost leans in on an endless repeat, forever startin
