Falling feels like flying til the moment that you land;
Sinking feels like floating til you realize it's quicksand.
Poison tastes like honey til the moment that you choke;
Your touch feels like caressing til your hands are 'round my throat.
(ik this is a short one; it is only semi-finished)...
My breath gets
Caught in my throat
And It feels as if
I weigh nothing
I continue moving
Throw the air
Pass the clouds
And birds
The wind strongly
Zips pass me
As I take in the beauty
Of God’s creation, below
Adrenalin courses
Through my body
While everything
Flies by in record time
A couple moments later
The grass seems closer
I convince myself
That I’m ready for impact
Then I’ve...
Falling feels like flying,
Until the moment that you land.
Oh, how I was soaring,
The first time you held my hand.
But what I could not fathom,
Until too much time had passed,
Is that you and I were just,
Too beautiful to Ever last.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
I feel your hand in mine,
And darling, we’re still flying,
Where there’s no such thing as time.
The thing that fills my h...
It’s funny when people tell me I’m a sad boy
What do you think I’m using all the drugs for
Somewhere down the line I meet a sad girl
Next thing you know she’s in my bed
Next thing you know she’s my world
Now what do you know she’s in my head
Let’s add a little drama to the scene
This is where I tell you I love you and you leave
In the car crying saying your the girl of my dreams
I tell you...
“we did it,” i say, trying to muster some amount of enthusiasm. cyrus, confused, looks up at me and pauses the movie we were watching. i flash him my phone screen — an angry text from james. “my ex is pissed. i guess he saw our posts then.”
cyrus nods, his expression unreadable. the only emotion i can decipher from him is discomfort from his fingers anxiously drumming on the plush sofa. “what do...

Falling is a flight
An endless paradise
Of fluffy white clouds
And ever dimming lights
(150 ft)
The wind is in my ears
The sun is in my eyes
I feel the release
As I let go of life
(100 ft)
Buildings rushing past
The world looks so vast
And for the first time ever
My worries can retract
(50 ft)
The ground is coming near
I brace for the impact
This is what I wanted
And there’s no turning ba...
Warmth is that blooming in your chest,
when you see birds finally fly from their nests.
Hope is the lightness in your heart,
when you see a kid give his allowance to people
who had fallen apart.
Contentment is the warm glow inside,
when you see an elderly man gently kiss his wife’s cheek,
knowing they’ve loved eachother their whole lives.
Accomplishment is the smile
that spreads widely across...
Between the clicks of the second hand
Is an infinity we can never understand
The colours of green, amber and teal
None of which are actually real.
If our minds showed us what was there
It would be more than we could bare.
To see flowers, and green leaves on a tree
All the wonder and natural beauty
Such a graceful lie to be told
To conjur these images we behold
When what they are, now we k...
With clouds in my head, caused by your levitating touch, it felt like I was flying.
But you let me fall, tumble down to the ground, and now I feel like dying.
When we first kissed, my head began to roar, and my heart start to soar.
If it wasn’t for those eyes, and I was a little more wise, I wouldn’t be down on the floor, battered and bruised to the core.
I looked at you in wonder, wanting to ...
