« When

When every dream has turned to dust, and your highest hopes no longer soar.

When places you once yearned to see, grow further away on distant shores.

When every night you close your eyes, and long inside for something more.

Remember this and only this, if nothing else you can recall—

There was a life a girl once led, where you were loved the most of all. »

« Her Words

Love a girl who writes and live her many lives;

you have yet to find her, beneath her words of guise.

Kiss her blue-inked fingers, forgive the pens they marked.

The stain of your lips upon her—

the one she can’t discard.

Forget her tattered memories, or the pages others took;

you are her ever after—

the hero of her book. »

We’re kids, aren't we?

Yes, kids with grown-up powers.

If any person claims to have loved twice in all their life — they have not loved at all.

Hands are no longer hands. They are caresses. Mouths are no longer mouths. They are kisses. My name is no longer a name, it is a call. And love is no longer love — love is you.

Tell me if you ever cared, if a single thought for me was spared.

Tell me when you lie in bed, do you think of something

I once said.

Tell me if you hurt at all, when someone says my name with yours.

It may have been so long ago, but I would give the world to know.

Time

You were the one

I wanted most to stay.

But time could not be kept at bay.

The more it goes, the more it's gone—

the more it takes away.

I wanted everything because I didn't want anything enough.
