i saw atlas sitting on the moon.
his hands were empty,
and the heavens lay in shattered fragments
at his feet.
“did you drop them?” i asked
“i threw them,” he said, “why should i endure
these black and blue bruises?
is the earth really worth it? are you?”
i turned away.
the only answer i could give
was the one he’d always known.
it was the reason he’d let go.

“You can’t force love, I realized. It’s there or it isn’t. If it’s not there, you’ve got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you’ve got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.”

Slow Dancing
Lights set to a dim,
Your hands on my waist,
Mine clasped around your neck,
My heart’s racing,
Did you ever think,
We were doing forever in a minute?
Slowing dancing in the dark,
Our ethereal shadows mesh,
This is what heaven feels like,
I think to myself, with a smile,
My head lays upon your chest,
And my tears drip down, slowly,
But when they reach your shirt,
You disappear and I’m falling to the floor.
I suppose imagination can be like taunting death itself,
Because not only am I dancing in the dark,
I’m dancing with your ghost,
You’re gone, but the memories will never leave.

Sometimes, the Dark doesn't feel like the home I've come to know
It isn't the black canvas for me to focus my thoughts and travel my memories
It isn't the deep den where I can stoke the embers that keep the fire hot
Sometimes, I'm not alone in that Dark
Whispers barely heard, but, solidly felt
Tempts and teases and hounding truths
It echoes, out across the black and back again
I thought myself strong, and yet this body shakes
I thought myself sure, and yet my footing slips
I thought myself stubborn, and yet....
It's hard to find that next step
It's hard to keep fighting
It's hard to believe
Sometimes, all I have are the lies I tell myself
I'm fine. And whether I am or not.... I am
I'll keep going. And whether I can or not.... I do
I'm not drowning. And sinking or not.... I ignite
Sometimes, the Dark doesn't feel like the home I've come to know
Sometimes... It's hard to believe
But, that's all I've ever had...
So, even if it's just a lie, I'll believe a little longer
I'll burn a little longer, because... That's all I know
