~Floating~

when I
look at
everything from
an outside
perspective it
seems less
scary and evil

the waters
rising wipe
the sleepy
rain from
my eyes
now
I see
the course

sometimes people
are layered
like that
fast and
overstimulating always
vanilla, honey
something smooth
like cinnamon

the dark
was dragged
across across
the halls
it feels
like we
are floating
reaching for strings
of stars
it feels
like we are

I always
wished we
could be
friends I'm
sorry if I
caused you
any pain
that was
the last
thing I wanted
to do

you get
what you
work for
sometimes love
can be scary
sometimes surprising
there are scars
but it's never
too late
to make it right

I can feel
your heartbeat
life is
too short
to have sorrow
