Death Of A Flower.

the beginning & the end.

the beginning & the end.

its soul is taken away from its root, its no more connected to its soil of birth.
we love its fruits, but the grim reaper has removed its artistry from the earth.
stripped of its delicacy, allure.
its happiness poisoned by death right to the core.

those array of colors begin to lose brightness.
a glimpse at its surroundings seems much finer.
its energy repels your stare.

the death of a flower.

the same ground that gave birth to it starts to expel the lifeless flower like a mother who no longer has a desire for her own child.
birds & bees are no longer attracted to this wasted flower.

it craved water and we denied it.
a bit of liquid could’ve keep it alive.
but we ignored it. we paid more attention to the beauty around it.

from its seeds a new flower grows, and the breathless flower says its last farewells. its time to go. the beginning & the end.

the soul of a dying flower sings its final melody, a song heard by understanding ears.
but nobody cares.
red exudes from its petals, for a dying flower these are burning tears.

a human being on this planet lives this life.
this is the story of a dying flower.

Take Back Every Word.

take back every word i never said & every thought i might forget.
the beautiful times we always had, don’t ever take them back.
the past is where my life i would never spend, unpleasant memories too much to comprehend.

and every sentence i never uttered, you should remember when im gone.
while you’re having conversations with your pen.
when you’re all alone.

and every letter i never used to form a beautiful sentence.
i hope you remember when you think of me next.
may every word you read be a warm touch to your emotions.
and every word you write, a warm embrace to your spirit.

take back every word i never said & all the memories i’ve ever had.

every word i never used to describe you. may you remember.
all the captivating words i never used, i left them all behind for you.

love to all your peaceful thoughts.
every sentence we uttered.
our late night talks.

take back every word i never said & all the memories i never had.

when the sun’s rays dance across the pages of your journal.
may every word you write, live eternal.
take back the words you never said.

and as Autumn’s leaves start to kiss the ground.
i’ll remember your sound, i’ll remember your love.

every word you never said, and every word i never said. may we both remember when we’re having conversations with our souls.
when we have conversations with the stars.

peace to your thoughts.
love to your soul.
harmony to your heart.

Can You See Pride’s Face?

trying looking you wont find him.

trying looking you wont find him.

can you see Pride’s face?
can you see the pride in Pride’s face?
boastful & frivolous.
Pride’s intentions are not of good will.

Pride just destroyed a home.
Pride just stabbed a friend in the back.
Pride ended a life-long friendship.
Pride just ended a simple argument.

he is a disease. humans are afraid of him.

can you see the pride in pride’s face? can you see the bad he creates?
can you see all the lives he took?

Pride is a crook. he breaks into the windows of your spirit and steals all the gold. that gold is your happiness.

Pride is a weapon. anything in his way is destroyed. Pride doesn’t have emotions. Pride can make you insane.

but Pride has an enemy. Pride has a cure. Humility.

Humility is Pride’s balance.

Humility can heal wounds. he is spirited & can bring people together. Humility is a weapon, a weapon of peace.

he is a conqueror. Humility is Pride’s balance.

can you see Humility’s face?
can you feel Humility’s embrace?
when are we starting to be humble?
when are gon’ respect each other?
can you see the pride in Pride’s face?

Pride cares about no one but himself. Humility cares for everyone & himself.

Dont You Worry Child.

cultivate love.

cultivate love.

don’t you worry child, don’t you worry child. God has a plan for you.

even though pieces of your life are scattered, shattered, don’t you worry child. the little dark corner in your room is your place of peace at night when arguments get loud and hearts break.

your big-eyed brown bear soothes your mind when no-one wants to listen to you. when tears run down your painful cheeks your brown bear listens to you.

every night your ears are hurt by words exchanged by your mother & father. your ears are pinched by emotions of hate.

don’t you worry child. child, don’t worry. God has a plan for you. never let your hope die down, child.

your eyes are sore from pain. actions a young child should never see. dark thoughts that leave you knee-deep in pain. you only hope for rain, because the rain calms your pain.

all that runs in your mind is fantasies of a happy family. all you ever wanted was a happy ending. all you ever wanted was to blend in. all you ever wanted was for the world to move with you.

don’t you worry child. don’t you worry child. God has a plan for you. love yourself.

that little notebook understands your very essence. it understands your mind, your words. every letter you write on a page is understood by your notebook.

agony drips heavily down your lips. torture & strain conceive the life you live.

you find comfort in words, you find comfort in letters, you find comfort in sentences. your escape from a life of discomfort.

don’t you worry child. God has a plan for you.

**God always has a plan for you. don’t you worry.

Do For Love.

“there’s no easy way to say this, so i’ll just say it – i met someone. it was an accident, i wasn’t looking for it. it was a perfect storm, she said one thing, i said another. next thing i knew i wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation.”

you’ve tried everything, but you wont give up.
your feelings are crushed hard by love.
love, don’t give up.

you gave enough, but every time you get slapped by disappointments hand.
you’re stuck between calling him a stranger or another girl’s man.

i was told never to mess with broken hearts.

your young heart is tired of late night fights and holding onto tight ropes just to survive. your young heart doesn’t feel alive. its weighed down by words of regret. and heavy tears that run down from your bed to the cold floor.

an ocean of hate surrounds you. dark clouds of emotion hold you. just hold on to my heart.

you’ve tried everything, and you still don’t feel loved. he left you with scars, and tears on your pillow.

i’ve tried everything, just to get back your happiness. you’ve tried everything for love, i’ve tried everything for love.

what won’t we do for love?

your eyes say a lot. your personality shows a lot. your words explain everything.

& you’re tired of morning notes.
and you already know, that have you leave it all behind. its time to go.

you couldn’t stomach the thought of him with another. but he is with another.
thoughts of a coward come up when you think that he wasn’t man enough
to tell you he wants to break up.

i’ve always loved you.
here’s a little note:

remember the first time we met.
soulmates we called each other.
you were my forever.
i hope one day love decides to get us back together.
i was your forever. you were my forever.
i hope love remembers our times together.

we were suckers for love. what won’t we do for love?

do for love. you’ve tried everything, but you don’t give up.
