We are all someone's hero if not our own.
I asked......
Would you consider yourself, a hero?
Everybody is put here for a reason. Some of us are put here for others to look at and be the example of what not to do. Some put here for them to aspire to. Be the reason another person succeeds. Someone you want to be like. Maybe a hero, maybe a mentor. It's up to us to follow, or be, whichever one we choose.
Would you read your own story?
Or maybe, a question within your story.
The story of your life.
Would you read that story? Would you read the ending? What if the story told everything? Past, present, and future. What if?
What if your story told of every adventure you’ve ever had? If the story told of your heartbreaks and loves? If that story was the truth? And told as only the truth could read? Not like you’d like to remember at times.
If the story told about the highest highs, and the lowest lows? The times that you nearly gave up, and the times you owned the world? Your world.
If the story looked ahead to things not known to you yet? The events and people that will shape your destiny? New people. New hopes, and new tears. New love. The chance to live a long life, or a death that is as sudden as an eye blink.
Would you read that story?
Would it read like you would want?
Would you be the hero of your own story? Righting past wrongs. Living a full life. Or, would you waste the very ink it was written with? A story not worth telling.
Maybe, that is your question. Maybe you should ask yourself that very thing before your story is written.
A question within a story.
The story of your life.
And I asked this, because her story is still unfolding.
It could be considered a tragedy, be she herself wrote out that part.
So, when I asked her, “do you consider yourself a hero”, her answer was simply,
“I don’t know. Maybe some people see me that way. But I think we all rise above situations in life and we can all be hero’s.”
Be someones hero.
You just walked away like that.
And took all of my words with you.
I am left with an empty pen,
and an even emptier heart.
Where do I go from here?
Back to the misery that I came from,
or the uncertain darkness that lay ahead.
Maybe I'll rest here for a while.
Under the fading glow of the moon,
with the silence of the sky to keep me company.
It's not that I can't move on.
I just want to linger here a little more,
to trace my fingers through the blurring outlines of our fates.
Let the dying sun go in peace.
And soon enough I'll be gone from your name too.
Till then say yes to the whsipers I've sent with the wind.
Tell me that it was a good story.
And that you loved me once.
Stop running and turn around.
I am still here, standing in the dark.
With outstretched hands waiting to hold you.
Come to me and please stay this time.
We found each other after a million sad stories.
Each one more heartbreaking than the last.
So come back and I promise I'll hold you.
Sleepless nights have been my friends for a while now.
But with you by my side, the world comes alive.
My heart is stronger this time.
Let me take away your pain and mourn for your loss.
Close your eyes and walk back to me.
For so long your were lost among the starless skies.
But now even the darkness is tired of keeping us apart.
I've littered stars to guide you back home.
Follow the fading lights and by dawn you'll be safe in my arms.
It's time for our forever, my love.
I don't know what to do with all this love in my heart now, because it was all for your and now that you've made it clear that you don't need my affection, I find it difficult to keep these feelings in the same place for fear that they may get mixed up again and instead of letting go I'll accidentally hold onto you forever.
I listened to your song today.
Again and again.
Your voice is just the right amount of comfort I need.
The lyrics are words pulled out from your thoughts.
And I can't help but feel happy,
knowing I finally had a glimpse of your mind.
I think I haven't craved anything like this in forever.
Your thoughts are like magic.
It pulls me in closer,
and hugs me a little tighter.
Your thoughts are also like the night sky.
So beautiful, yet too far away to be true.
Music made by your hands,
blended with the sweet humming of your lips,
carefully speaks stories to the listener.
This is what a song should be.
Your songs are like ocean,
and everyone takes away what they can.
To be honest I hate that.
I wish you only sung for me.
I wish only I heard the sweet ramblings of your head.
I wish you wrote those lines for me.
I wish I could hide you from the world.
I am being selfish I know.
But I would gladly shout out to the world how selfish I am,
if it means you will sing to me forever.
I need your voice ringing through my bones,
until the universe disappears in the folds of nothingness.

I stand there like a fool lost in my thoughts.
You move away from me and just go on.
Silent screams bursts my eardrums.
But nobody hears a sound at all.
Tears fall like a broken dam,
like water rushing without an aim.
My mind have gone numb now.
And all I can see is black.
The bright spot of light is you,
and as I watch, it slowly fades away too.
Darkness is supposed to be a comfort.
But not when you've taken my heart.
A heartless body is an empty vessel,
and the dark seeps into me like spilled blood.
I can feel the cold from inside,
killing the last of the warmth within.
The embers of my fire are about to die down.
Too weak to stand up again,
I lay down and give in to the earth's embrace.
It's soft and moist.
But not warm and safe like your arms.
Before you vanish into the abyss,
turn around and dig a grave.
Bury my thoughts of you in there.
And plant a daffodil on top.
Let us go seperate ways now,
before your sighs bring me back to life again.

It's always the sun in someone's eyes that attracts the night in their hearts
I am sorry I couldn't create a safe place for you.
I am sorry I couldn't be brave enough to let you be you.
I am sorry for all the times I made you say you hate pink (we love it now).
I am sorry for trying too hard sometimes and not trying at all other times.
I am sorry that you had to face all those years alone, without someone to hold you close.
I am sorry for letting you go when I should've held onto you tighter.
I am sorry for thinking that shutting you out will make me feel like I belong somewhere, anywhere.
I am sorry for abandoning you when all you ever had was me.
But now, little one, we are here. You and I, both of us are safe in this space that I have started to call 'heart'.
Cry all you want, I'll hold you. Be fierce, be gentle, be everything that you've wanted to be. I am here and you can be you.
Sweet young child, you're safe in my hands.
And we'll be okay. I love you, and that's all that matters.
To my younger self,
I'm sorry that I couldn't save you. I'm sorry that I didn't stop you from harms. I'm sorry that now you're too broken to be put together
It was never your fault. It was never your fault. It was never your fault. Not your fault. Not your fault. Not your fault. Not your fault
Singing your praises to the stars have kept me alive for the last few centuries, but now that you've found another to orbit around, will it make a difference if I burn brighter than the sun until my wings have caught fire and I look like the dream you see in your sleep?
I can forget the pain of a few burns if it means keeping you warm.
