when you're not listening
I’m in a state of bliss
Melting with Hersey kisses
Flying with butterflies who wear their hearts on their wings
Beautiful creatures trapped in diamond rings
Caressed by a sea of chocolate
The arms of elegance
Created only to teach us respect
A kind of intellect they expect
To be offered and incline
One decision collides into your snow globe
Shattered world falls open
To have hoped that you’d see the sun set again
Cloudy vision of previous events
Sent to make you remember
Loosing yourself in cold days of December
Wrapped up in a blanket of sorrow with the wilted flowers of yesterday
A time when being okay didn’t seem possible
It was hard to catch dreams in the beauty of butterfly wings
Drowning yourself too long
Too deep to reach the surface
Washing upon shore for the ones who adored you too much to let you go
This is when you stopped saying no
Life’s worth nothing if you’re not willing to live
Not willing to give away your heart’s secrets
Or let your tears fall
It’s an echo you can hear only when you’re not trying to listen
An answer that glistens in fallen tears.
