your smile shines on me
i see your face
it’s so far away
it’s so easy to forget
we’re not so strong
not so strong
love is a strange power
it makes us feel
we’re not afraid
but when this
thin paper of life, it breaks
love shows us the way
love makes us feel invincible
but when we lose our faith
yeah we lose our faith…

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” - Cecil Beaton

It’s so cold here
Never felt the chill before
My walls were never thin
Opened the doors and windows
to let you in
The empty draft lingers
Should have locked up tighter
not let the curtains blow in the wind
I wanted to be like Juliet
but you said Juliet’s dead
“Be my Romeo” I plead
“I want to be Romeo
But not for you” he said,
“Don’t bleed for me”
I thought I was so strong
Thought it wouldn’t be too long
before I could smile on my own
Why’d I trade in sundresses for corsets?
I still love running in the rain
Someone come dry me off, though
Catch me, if I’m too free I’ll fall
**
Remember that smile?
So sweet in the sun
Rays shone in your eyes
Grass was greener on this side
Dandelions drifted away
You sneezed into the spring wind
Weeds sprung from where the sidewalk ends
Cicadas chattered under passing clouds
These are all mine yet so far from me
Ended too soon before I could see
The sun had set and I missed the glow
Snow fell and I didn’t know
Stay for a while
I promise I’ll be good
I miss the gold
Don’t wanna grow old
Just give me dawn
I promise I’ll move on
