"What are you
going to do
with all that dark?
Find a way
to glow in it"-Amanda Torroni

pieces of cherry
floating in wine
my shrinking eyes
are still dreaming

nothing makes
sense of this madness
this grand chaos
hearts get
torn like mistakes
nothing ever
stays the same

don't bend
like water
or try
to make
it logical
it never is

anything worth
having you
have to go
trough the pain

once in awhile,
a lesson comes along
with no reason
bit my bit
pieces that fit
together awkwardly

glass shimmers
and my heart
is happy
at the sound
finding a
new way
to glow

searching for
something shiny
something meaningful
