come now away

once in the darkness
where i was thinking
i saw a light
oh deep in my soul
i did not question
where it had came from
i simply sat
in its embrace

once in my heart i saw the blinking
something worth saving
here evermore
i did not ask what was waiting
i simply helped it
and so should you do

once in the sunshine
i smelt a smoking
i did not think, oh where it could be
i simply ran, oh far away
where we all met up, to go flee

darling don't question my intuition
just come with me, where we will be safe
just come along now, know i will lead you
where nothing can hurt us
here evermore

Inspired by Hozier's lyrics, and the tune of "Like real people do"

    winter

    the winter makes me so happy
    the snow hanging in the trees
    the cold biting at you
    i love it

    Greek Tragedies

    oh Icarus, you poor thing.
    fell in love with the sun, the sky-
    paid the price, i suppose.

    why do we always pay the price for love?

    Orpheus, lonesome poet, 
    lost his love because he wanted to tell her they'd made it.

    Where I Keep My Heart

    In my attic I keep my heart. 
    I hold it there, safe amidst pillows, blankets and childhood stuffed animals. 
    When I make things, I break off a piece of my heart, 
    and sew it into pillows,
