Trapped in this place,
Lost somewhere deep
In the haze ingering
At the edges of thought.

Her... Her...
My thoughts are
Consumed by beauty
Like the sea swallows the sun.

Drifting slowly beneath the blue,
A color as warm as the wide open sky,
But cold, so cold, like the memories abandoned on the tide.
And as I sink with the shivering, blue waves,

I am devoured by these dark, empty days.

Thanks, Sophia! It's been quite a while since I've checked my account, but I always love coming back to compliments. ;) Haha.

Thanks again!

Favorite Quote:
To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.&rdquo;
