until

the stars have fallen

as fairy dust

and the moon is the sun

and you are dancing under

sunlight

t a n g l e d in moonlight

'til

the day bleeds into the night

'til

the night bleeds into the day

and you are blended in purples and blues

and me: in yellows and reds

'til

we are dancing under

moonlight tangled in sunlight

i will kiss you

in the closing act,

called: finally.

Until Light consumes the

darkness

And Night exists no more

When fallen stars extinguish

And descend into Earth’s core

Until the ocean’s tides roll ’way

Spilled into horizons

When rainbow’s colors bend to

break

Fusing the prism’s spectrums

Until the canyons rise to meet

Where hills and valleys join

Death receives, at last, defeat

True peace gives birth to joy

Until, fulfilled, each word ’twas

spoke,

Echoed eternally

We hold, anchored, within us

hope

Awaiting; Finally

Until the stars go out

I've got to keep going.

Until the sky bruises black

I've got to keep running.

Until these clouds dry up to

a mere monotone gray,

I'll still be running

running away.

No final ending.

Just running into the finite distance

finally.

Until again we meet

my heart will continue to beat,

though it may long seek

the echo of a heart now still.

My lungs will breathe yet

for one cannot forget

but the air will be less sweet

for your breath will not be in it.

My eyes still will see

though without you I will be

and nothing will be as bright

as your smile in my memory.

My ears cannot but hear

the silence I cannot bear

the music of your laughter

a waning whisper in my mind.

Yes, life will go on

although you are gone

but I’ll just be biding time

till we meet again, finally.

Until

I get done

Slowly

Dying.

Until

I get started

Living,

Finally.

Until then,

I’ll be waiting

For finally.

Until I break these chains of fear,

Until I escape from you, my dear,

Until I eventually run from love,

Until I give my soul to the stars above,

I will never let you break my heart.

I will never agree to play that part.

I will never be your mindless puppet.

I will never take your disrespect.

I will always remember how much I cried.

I will always know how often you lied.

I will always see you tear others down.

I will always know that no one is around.

You have lost my trust.

You have lost my faith.

You have lost my love.

You have lost.

And you will always lose,

Maybe one day you'll learn,

As I write of your wrongs,

And become better, finally.

Until the day

I see you again,

I won't forget about you.

I will look to the stars,

Naming each in your honor.

Until we meet again,

And stand hand-in-hand,

Like a constellation of lovers.

Happy,

Together,

Forever,

Finally.

Until the world comes crashing down around you,

Until you can't keep track of reality,

Until you are ready to break..

Don't you dare tell me what you think,

Don't tell me everything is going to be okay,

Don't tell me you understand,

Don't tell me to get over it.

You don't understand a damn thing.

Do you understand how hard it is to get up in the morning?

Do you understand how hard it is to get dressed in something other than sweats?

Do you understand how hard it is to do anything with yourself?

Do you understand how hard it is to go into public and smile?

Do you understand how much I don't want to do anything?

Unless you understand how much my chest hurts,

From nights of crying myself to sleep,

Unless you understand that my brain can't focus on a thing,

Unless you understand that I am just so exhausted,

Physically,

Mentally,

Emotionally,

Unless you understand how I just don't care anymore.

I don't need your advice,

I don't need you to tell me it'll be alright,

I don't need you to coddle me,

I don't need you to feel sorry for me.

I'll be fine eventually,

I'll be able to smile and laugh,

Eventually you'll never even be able to tell anything was wrong in the first place.

I'll be able to breathe,

Finally..
