piercing of a promise

my heart has been pierced with a promise

threaded through and through

no matter where i go, you won't be there

the whisper of a hope surrounds us

so many yellow lines painted along the story of our lives

yet the road i'm on won't lead me to you

i'm lost without you

i keep going

its everywhere

a road untraveled never takes you home

pass by the countless forests full of promise and hope

its everywhere

a deer and her baby fawn

a dew drop on a leaf

its everywhere but yet escapes me

a life, lost, stolen

my heart is a crescent of a moon

still intact, entire, but not uninjured

it is hidden by a shadow, only partly shining

but the yellow lines continue

the street lights keep passing

its everywhere

it pulls my heart strings and fuels my promise

Please dont ever leave me because my heart couldn't handle losing another half.

we're all just fireflies

flying our own course

down the highways of our forest

don't collect us all up in jars

until you've seen the brightness of our light

we're all made up of stories

of lights and darks

poetry and satire

happy endings and sad endings

don't rush through the trees too fast

stop and connect the stars to make a picture

the world won't stop spinning

just so you can figure out where you are and where you should be

tea parties aren't for little girls

and fairies aren't make believe

your childhood is everything you were

and you might want to be reintroduced

life is measured in teaspoons and laughs

love and hate mixed with a big wooden spoon

to make the most beautiful life that you could imagine

we are all fireflies

flying every this way and that

make your mark in the night's sky

before the sun outshines your little tail
