with every sigh i dream of goodbye but what are dreams if they don’t come true?
with every sigh i dream of goodbye but what are dreams if they don’t come true?
I want to lose myself in the music. I want the lyrics to sink in, to be tattooed in my skin. I want the voices to echo in my head, I hear them calling me. I want to be wrapped up in the majors, the minors, the tunes that made me dance. Let me forget who I was, who I am and who I once wanted to be. I just want to hope again. I want the music to save me.
I want to find myself in the music. I want to turn the stories I will never tell into song. Take all my hurt and anger, I want to turn them into sweet haunting melodies. I want the chords to play my memories - each one, finally, with no regrets. I know the music will save me.
But you could have too.
you were
the ink
the pen
the page.

There’s just something about lying under the stars on a summer night that makes you feel like you’re truly a part of the universe and everything is going according to plan.
Your poetry is lonely. And yet, you write to feel less alone.
