Why did I go?

Rain falls from the sky, 

Yet my feet are cemented on the ground. 

And the water beads on my face, 

Turning my hair wet when I wish it were dry. 

But somehow I don't care. 

For I want to take this moment in again,

For the first time. 

 

To feel the warm and light of the fire, 

The orange, red of the flame. 

The way the sky always stayed the same, 

For years it was part of my life, 

And it was the same every day. 

 

I want to see your face for the first time, 

As we tell our stories, 

Talking through the fence, 

That separated us. 

 

I want to sit on the bus, 

Another cold morning, 

As the frost is stained on the window. 

Calming me as I remember the past times. 

 

I want that goodbye to last forever, 

So it never truly ends. 

Everything should stay the same. 

And I'll remember your face forever. 

And we'll stay the same. 

Forever.

    when all we have is spent–

    what will we have left?



    people once before us–

    i walked down the street
    the streets i once used to know 
    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
