these closed eyes, ones which caused me to realize. the fleeting silence that surrounds, dissipating with every breath; the stillness of the ticking clock that hung itself above our heads - falsifying truth that hid itself within our rhythmic heartbeats. oh love, when will you start to realize?

*surely, in that fading silence - the clock stills.

"It terrifies myself, knowing that I'm starting to say yes to things that I've used to say no, and no to things that I've used to say yes."

Succumbing to the depths of my everlasting nightmares
Lost in between the border connecting life and death
Wandering aimlessly to places where I wished I belonged
Living the endless cycle - the nightmare of my *dreams

We are all just some sad human beings; confused and lost.
Inflicting scars that didn't go as deep as the void that has been created in our hearts.
Leaving behind empty shells that were once filled with our lingering souls.

He looked at her mesmerized
The yearning gaze of his
Watched her every move
She shied away
Shielding her face with her files
She pretended to be mad
Asking him to look away
But all he did was
Shooting her a cheeky grin

She was disgusted with those
Who thought age gaps were
Gross or unsightly
She stood up for them
Emphasizing every single word
That love is something
That no one can ever control
It shouldn't be measured by
Mere numbers but instead
How true the love was
She thought about how
It wasn't unrealistic and
It was the very opposite
Because it simply showed
How genuine love can be
