sky and turtle

not a poet; writing so my mind wont suffocate with its own thoughts

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

She sang the most pleasing melody
that my ears have ever heard.
She gave the most reassuring smile
that my eyes have ever seen.

But behind what she was,
is what she truly is;
a living myth
that lives in the depth
of ocean.

They call her monster.
I call her beauty.

You came to me in my sleep again,
as if you wanted me
to disturb your peace,
as if your silence meant
you were asking for me.

You came to me again.
You always do,
as if you know
that I have always been
waiting for you,
right here.

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

there's something about her
that brings out all the pieces
i didn't know
i was still holding on to.

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

something about seeing her
makes me want to get my pen
and start writing again.

something about that smile
i haven't seen in a while.

while i know it's way over now,
and everything i do confirms that;

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

so this is the moment
i know
i'll need you
like meat, like water,
and you won't

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

i did not know
i was hurting
until you showed me
how to bleed.

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

i wish the waves could get me
as easily as they took
my name written on sand

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

- only if you knew how to swim

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

but in this life,
you couldn't love a person
you are only meant to find
you couldn't love them
even if you want to
you might break two broken hearts;

so each time you take your steps,
closer towards me,
know you could only bring your feet
close enough to the sea

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

you took a step
into the water
and i followed you
until i drowned

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

with every inch
i get closer to you,
takes every breathe
i could ever lose

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

the song played as if it was listening to what our hearts couldn't speak

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

in this life,
we sat on a the beach
and you taught me
to shuffle the cards.

in another one,
i played those cards right
and you lived to be mine.

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

the way your hand felt like it was waiting for mine as well

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

and as i leave,
i shall remember;

your tiny giggle
and your smile
as you lean closer
to hear
all that i have to say

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

you lay on the stretch of sand, just a few inch away from her, you could feel your heart beat faster, you could feel it almost stop.

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

the weight of overwhelming emotions swallow me down

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

stacks of words piled up like blocks
i managed to keep them here -
to keep myself alive.

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

i miss having salt water run on my face

[sky and turtle @skyxxturtle]

perhaps getting lost is falling deep.

[akyllus @akyllus]

Perhaps, true love is
to lose yourself in your love;
to surrender to the lover's soul
totally,
madly,
deeply.

in my dreams, i hugged her.
in those seconds of sleep,
i felt the world is safe.

but now i'm all alone,
awake and cold.
