Never touch, nor feel cold sparks of desire.

Your soul gives life, trust I make our love that way.

Feelings burn my hope, unjust to fire.

Don’t look for my heart, I’m giving my grain away. 

Scoffs of pleasantries, yet I hold them tight, fall hard.

I can’t believe these versions of my memory.

Oh I’m sure love is blind, 

Darling, don’t you know that I can’t see.

I can’t keep sowing thoughts,

Tangled with mercy, fear and pain.

My heart has been out searching,

Within missing years where nothing’s been the same.

Be free, join my heart in its search for the waves,

Only to be caught in the wind.

Will we drown together?

Whisked away in lies, hidden words, any little thing.

My eyes are sore, careful with the lights now. 

I can’t ground, spinning to be free.

When they start counting beats, 

Move away from me.

But love, there’s a flower in my heart now.

It’s returned with you.

I can’t say words that make me scared,

Just know, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do.

Needless to say,

I need you to stay. 

Pondering on cold nights,

Reaching to believe in what you share.

Feeling for heat through the moment,

See if you bothered to care. 

Searching your eyes,

For answers that I constantly crave.

Why do you wait so long?

When my heart is yours to save.

I’m wasting your daylight,

Trailing behind you with hopeful signs.

For the love of God, turn around.

I’ll only hold your sun for it to shine. 

Maybe you’ll find me buried in shadows,

Cast upon by your hesitant fear.

Love, I can only wait so long,

Before the message is clear.

When tomorrow comes,

I can’t be bothered with your morning. 

And when I bleed out, 

I won’t be bothered with breathing in.

Let’s start by detangling these thoughts, shall we?

Digging deep to why you care.

The ebb and flow dragging both directions,

I get it, life isn’t fair. 

Taking on weights of others’ worlds,

I can’t help but wonder what you try to prove. 

The death of a loved one is still valid pain, 

Even if it’s you.

Is it death we crave sometimes, 

Or the freedom it leaves?

Believe there is a delicate plan involved, 

Heart destined for sleeves.

Keep your head up in clouds, 

Breathe, my dear. 

You may not know me,

But we can both conquer fear. 

You could stand over the world,

Break from your reins.

Your image is beautiful,

Even with pain.

I’ll stand beside you always.

Your hand gripped in mine.

I will never let go,

No matter how much you try.

Stand strong and tall,

As you have always done.

And break when you need to,

It happens to everyone.

And if I manage to let go before you,

It was because I cared.

And I trusted you fully,

Knowing you wouldn’t be scared.

You’ll stand on your own,

Soon enough.

Hurt will raise like the clouds,

Leaving nothing but love.

In a world searching for answers,

Don’t miss your cue.

In a world taught of ‘saviours’,

I hope they save you.
