interlock your fingers
with mine, just for a
little while, and let your mind
w a n d e r,
can we do it?
could you forget that i'm
not good enough,
could you forget that our
hands can't touch,
could you forget that i
never really wanted any of this at all
when i was young
i am young
and when i felt joy
where's that feeling gone
and when i pretend
i can smile
i can fit in
i can be whoever i'm
meant to be
so go ahead and
intertwine our fingers
even if i pull away
even if i hate myself
it's me and my own destiny
interlocked and inseparable and unbearable
none of this feels right
which is why
i choose to do nothing at all
All The Best
May I hide away the raindrops
Falling from the silver sky?
Strike a match and light a candle
To chase away the night?
May I shield you from the bullets,
Be your shelter in the storm;
May I set my heart on fire
In the hope I'll keep you warm.
May you never feel the shadows
Only the sun's bright, gentle beams;
May you always hold the freedom
To chase each and every dream;
May each step you take feel weightless
May your heart feel just the same;
And may your smile never cease
To set my soul aflame.
No empty consolation
Your thoughts are written on the walls,
We dance in silence on the polished stones
Of the haunted place that we return to
To read traces of unwordly poetry
The pressure of your hand
The only thing that tethers me in a world
Where wishes are like craters on the moon
Witness of a violent past.
Truthfully, we all live
In the shadow of some hurricane,
Finding empathy in a hidden place
In the unheard but remembered song
That links our minds together
And transcends the wounds
And the words that set us apart
