Sing me a song, make it sound like pain.
Kiss my lips softly, make it taste like blood.
Hold my hand reassuringly, make me feel the cold.
Smell my sweet breath, make me taste bitterness.
Look into my eyes, make me see the memories of long past.
Make me realize all the negative space, fill me in with something positive.
Fill me in with happiness and laughter, fill me in with life.
Make me feel the pain I hate, make me realize the endurance and the change.
Teach me, not tell me how it should be for us.
Make me listen, not hear, when you say the words you do.
Keep that place for me in your heart, keep it safe.
I've been washed ashore of a desert island by my past, haunted memories.
Stranded by myself, alone with all my fears.
Each day a test, a chance for survival.
Wrenched in my own solitude.
I try to break away, escape from this place.
Until I meet my savior.
Another soul washed upon these shores of pain and remorse.
Just like I, lost in the waves of life.
It is us who come together and reclaim all that we have lost, start with what we gain.
And although we are still on the same island, we just happen to be miles adrift and yet, inches apart.
The stars shine as bright, brighter than any light.
And yet, your eyes do not rest upon them but rather, another star.
This star is not as beautiful or bright, it is full of pain and imperfections.
But this star is the one your rest your eyes upon, how perfect and bright it seems in your eyes.
Your eyes and yours alone.
A star that was burning itself out, that was lost in its own galaxy.
It took you to bring that star back, to guide it back to itself.
And now this star shines brightly in only your direction, guiding you like you had done for it.
A tiny boat drifts across the turquoise waves of the vast ocean.
A mist of sea spray erupts onto your heart.
The salt stings against your flesh, filling your eyes with the same salty tears.
The burning is easily flushes from your body and yet, still resides inside of it.
The waves, drifting across your subconscious mind like an endless piece of thread.
Never ceasing to unravel or tangle, a straight and sufficient line that creases and folds with the tides.
And as the boat drifts along a vastness of endless nothing, your soul becomes at ease with the ocean spray that refreshes your quality of life.
White penetrating orbs surround me in my sleep, a demon without a face.
A bubble, a safe space for me to reside in.
The blinding demons that surround me still, their anger penetrates me like a needle.
The bubble bursts, and I fall into nothingness.
The cold earth beneath me becomes my safe place and still the demons keep their presence.
All locked away in a simple silver pin, on which, keep me from disaster and decay.
One that can't keep me from my dreams that haunt me as I drift into sleep.
Was there ever a moment in your life, a single moment in time when you felt that everything you had always wondered and worried about finally came together?
A feeling that can't be replaced or described, a feeling that only some people are lucky enough to experience in their life.
Luckier even, if they share it with someone else?
What is this happiness and this moment in time presented you with everything you had ever hoped and dreamed and wished for?
The only thing holding you back was the distance.
A distance not found in your heart, but of the physical aspect of the world itself.
Over land and sea, over time zones that are very much
