“Distance doesn’t separate people. Silence does.”
— Jeff Hood
The heart is supposed to fall
In love,
And for someone
But mine is quiet,
Still at it’s place
It doesn’t beat in sync with someone’s
But it beats for me
I’m not giving it up
But wear it on my sleeve
And treat it gently
Hush
Too far, too wide, too fast
Not yet
Don’t go
Don’t, won’t
Don’t, can’t
Not now
Beware
Hush now
Haven’t done, won’t do
Couldn’t do, won’t do
What can I do?
Can’t do
And can’t and can’t and can’t
I’m scared
Don’t ask
Thoughts run around in your head
Like trying to win a marathon
You want to listen to what is said
Try to pause and halt for some
But you’re distracted
And then they’re gone
My heart, it soars
Spending not a single day chained to the earth no longer
While my body, it rots
Beneath the daisy field
The days
I expect them, wait for them
And when they pass, I realise
They're dead days
Gone and lost,
Rotten days
And of them too many,
That have been too much
I mourn them still
"There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up."
-Oscar Wilde; The Picture of Dorian Gray
I crave a love so deep, the ocean would be jealous. - Pablo Neruda
