Grief is all I have left
Grief is all I have known

Do you feel it?
When you stand in a river
And the small fish hit your feet?

Do you feel it?
When you stand in a garden
And the trees gently touch you?

Do you feel it?
When you are in a field
And the grass is wet with morning dew?

Do you feel it?
When you are standing on the beach
And the sand enters between your toes?

Don't you feel it?
When the world is so alive
And it makes you feel it too?

I'm an atheist
Not because I'm sure that
God doesn't exist

But because I know that
Even if He does exist
He has given me no reason to worship him

What is your definition of beauty?

Oh to never be mourned
And be put on a pedestal

To be talked about well out loud
When they only hold your flaws inside

To never be remembered than be remembered and forgotten

To merge into the wind like a silent wind
Because when the storm comes, no one holds you

To disappear like a dark stranger in the night
To never miss the arms that once held you tight

-

On a night as dark as a maiden's hair
The boots leave deep imprints in the carpet of snow
Surrounded by trees who have long shed Any evidence of their youth
The wind whisper it's secrets in my ears
And the cold creeps into my heart

And I walk and I walk
Unescorted and unchaperoned
With only melancholy holding my hand
And when the hair on my skin stand
I feel a cold breath on my neck

I close my eyes
To surround myself with my own darkness
And suddenly everything is gone
The cold, the melonchaly, the despair;
The breath - both mine and theirs

As the woods engulf me
I don't know what is left of me
Am I the trees or the trees are me?

Their branches are my veins
Their leaves are my skin
My heart has merged into their dead barks
And there is no more me

-

I remember all the moments in my life.
I just don't remember experiencing them.

-

When I said I was afraid to go in the dark
You caged me
Instead of the ones I was afraid of

When I said I don't feel safe around someone
You reprimanded me
Instead of the monster around me

When I said I wanted to fly in the sky
You clipped my wings
Instead of the vultures out there

And when they finally got to me
You asked me "how could this happen?"
Not realising that it was you
Who has always made it happen

-

How much do we have to scream and shout for you to realize we aren't objects for you to use?
How much do we have to beg and cry for you to realize we are humans too?
How much do we have to endure and suffer for you to realize it's time to leave us alone?

You're like the stars in the sky
You feel so scattered in your mind,
But for our eyes,
You're only spreading light.
