a Different Perspective

I woke up
There was nothing.
The sheets so soft
The memories rough,

Dazing off into an unrealistic trans
I see life differently,
Your love, so distantly.

The summer nights, history,
with fairy lights , a mystery.

Love is a sacrifice,
Yet the idea of your love is so beautiful,
Like a ray of pure sunlight.

Now it is one minute to midnight and
I still see love from a different perspective.

Stranger

I saw you once,
I didn't know that, what we were going to write together,
would end so soon.

You sit there 
soaking in perfection.

You left, 
and I never formally introduced myself.

Your light shining so beautifully, 
I watched from afar so pitifully.

Now you're gone, 
and a friend in you I wish I'd known.

Happiness

Happiness is not just a word
It is a feeling
An emotion that should not be questioned

We waste most of the time,
trying to find that one thing we all desire,
Happiness.

I used to think that sadness was beautiful,
Until I discovered,
Happiness is bliss.

It comes on
unexpectedly,
and goes beyond.

Precious be mine
Be mine for eternity 
Give me peace and total happiness,
come and settle in my soul.

Wake up and live, don’t wait all your life for happiness.

Holding on

The wine so sweet,
The cigarettes even better
Music in the background,
Voices spreading over the room.

Yet, my head has been somewhere else.
Trying to ignore reality,
Yes, I am a dreamer and I’ll try not to leave you.

Maybe I am different,
Maybe I don’t belong.

But you need to set me free, for now…

“I want to sing with the trees,
I want to dance in the breeze,
I want to play with the flowers.”

Even though your love is going to kill me, I will try and hold on.
