Music

Melodies are like a cloudless sky,

sometimes gliding into your head

and other times disappearing into a thin wisp of air like an

Umbrella of fear,

that’s always hanging above you with absolutely

no way to get out.

And I will never be

Satisfied with the songs I write,

with the music I create,

with the lyrics I forge.

Maybe, someday,

I will attack that umbrella of fear,

destroying it from my head,

banishing its existence.

Sometimes, I

Cease the words from flowing into my brain,

stopping a song from forming,

stopping the magic from living,

so this time I’ll try

embracing the music instead of exiling it.

    ten tears that escape from the narrow corners of my eyes

    flowing down my cheeks and onto my lap where they melt and disappear

    even my tears have lost.

    nine questions scribbled into a diary late at night

  • I’m sorry

    I’m sorry that I wasn’t the rings to your Saturn,

    because Saturn had cracked into two;

    I’m sorry that I slipped salt into your sugar,

    yet your sugar was bitter, I cried too.

    I’m sorry that you never learned to care,

    warmth,

    pumpkin spice lattes

    hot, spice-soaked coffee drizzled with a splash of cinnamon

    coated with half-melted whipped cream, nestled by the delicate fire,

    comfort,
