I have been thinking of you today, my love. It was an icy morning and as I lay in my bed I thought of you in yours. I could picture it so clearly. You were pale and even smaller than when I saw you last. There was not a wrinkle on your skin. I think your sleep is taking away the years we gained together and returning you to your childhood. Your hair was longer. Someone had plaited it and it hung like Rapunzel's over the rim of the bed, awaiting some tiny chivalrous knight to shimmy up it. I wond… Continue

dear you,

Remember when we were sitting
In that old tree house of yours
And you said to me
“Doesn’t it scare you, that we mean nothing to this world
That we could just as well not be here and no one would notice”
I replied saying “you may think that you mean nothing to this world
But you mean the world to me”… Continue

he's cocoa-fed,
confined to bed,
a boy with a heart
that stops and starts.
he wants to fly,
like you and i,
to break the bounds
of hospital sounds,

but he's told by all
he's weak and small.

A web is spectacular from the start
Precision and diligence in every part
The artist ingenious but without a heart
A death trap but a beautiful piece of art

Ignorant humans spot a web on a wall
They brush it with a broom and the spider will fall
Broken legs, it's impossible to crawl
Doomed no matter what, no hope for the small

In the heart of my dreams
You were always standing there
You were waiting for me it seems
My angel who always cared

In the shadows with your wings aflutter
Watching over me, wanting me as your significant other
Even though my tears have long since dried,
My love for you has only intensified

And yet I always feared
That your love for me had died
Every night I faded off the sleep
I thought it would be our final goodbye

Dont say goodbye
'Cause we will meet again
A love like this wont die
In my d… Continue
