Echo of Silence - Forever yours

All that I am and all that I have

I give to you hand in hand

To love you, cherish you, and forever stand by you

To be your lover, your friend, walk with you til the end

To wake to your kiss, and fall alseep in your arms

Knowing you're all that I'm living for...

For now and for always, from this day forward

With god as my witness

I am forever yours

She is universal. This started out as something for a specific person, but then I realised everybody has a she. It doesnt matter. If, when you read this, you think of someone, that is your she. If there is someone in this world that you can't forget, someone who you may have loved and lost, never lost, or maybe never even had to lose.

Sometimes there is just one person that you can't help loving. Somebody in your heart who's flaws make them perfect. Somebody you love regardless of what they do to you. Somebody you could never forget.

Echo of Silence - My own darkness

I stand on the edge of the darkness, a hollow abyss that would echo only my footsteps. The catacombs of my mind. Empty , desolate, a waste land beyond waste lands. Nothing ever grew here. I trace the path within my mind, that which was always destined for me , that which will end my suffering.

I strut into the abyss. although I march to death, I will still march. I never let the fear show, never let anyone know just how I was feeling, why stumble before the finish line. But I cannot take the darkness. It slowly over whelms me, attacks my weakness, my entirety , weak to the end.

I fall to the ground, knowing no one is there to see me lose it. Finally I let it go, release my mind from the prisons of sanity, and just for a second, I forget who I am, and I’m happy.

I step back from the darkness, I run back to my body, to return to the physical world. Return to where I have a little control. But this time the darkness follows me, this time the darkness won’t leave, this time I can’t escape, this time there will be forgetting.

The sky turns to a crimson darkness, and the sun sets for me, one last time. I should return “home” they’ll “miss” me. But I never did do what I should have, ever , why stumble before the finish line.

Snowball effect is a figurative term for a process that starts from an initial state of small significance and builds upon itself, becoming larger, graver, more serious and perhaps potentially dangerous or disastrous - "spiral of decline" - though it might be beneficial instead

Peace in the sky
kissing long-ago enemies
reuniting with long-lost friends
Rainbow paper dripping art
Candy skin and soft, soft hair.
Running barefoot over water
beauty taking over our minds.
Cigarettes burning holes into the air
burning my face
and finding someone new underneath.
