Reaching Eternally

There is a boy

And there is a girl.

 

Their love for each other

Is so vast

They would walk

To the ends of the Earth

For each other.

 

But no matter how far they go

How hard they try

How much they love each other,

 

They are destined to be apart.

 

 

There is a boy

And there is a girl.

 

The boy reaches for the girl

But the girl disappears,

And the boy is left sitting alone.

 

The girl sends letters to the boy

But he never gets them. 

Not a single one.

 

The boy calls out her name, 

But she never turns around,

And disappears when he gets too close.

 

The girl runs after the boy

But every time,

He runs faster.

 

 

There is a boy

And there is a girl.

 

Wanting each other so badly

That they start to see illusions.

They start to f

                        a

                            l

                                l

They start to c ru m ble

The illusions

Are the only things

Keeping them together.

  • Not Cold Anymore

    The wind blows in my face, and I shiver. It's so miserably cold. I feel soft, little things pelting my coat. Lifting my hands, I reach them out and find little white dots speckling them.

  • A Stranger Beneath the Leaves

    I finger a rich, dark green leaf, dappled with sunlight. Running my fingers over the rough bark of an oak tree, I lift my head towards the sunlight. The sun warms me down to my toes, and I scoop up handfuls of dirt.
