“In my heart I love her all the time.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald // The Great Gatsby
Finding that one scene in a book that you love to read again and again because you just can’t get over it is the best part of reading in my opinion
hands are cold but feet unmoving, watching magic in the night
I didn’t mean to say it in my head and I didn’t mean to whisper it at night
it’s nearly night, frost creeping in on silent feet
it’s the song of night that draws me in
at night, when I’m alone, I look up and I can see the stars
a lantern far away glimmers and I can run away into the night
take me to a place in the middle of the night when the stars shine brighter as the sky turns slowly lighter
in the coolness of the night, send the shadows into flight
But as I’m walking forward, I’m walking into the night
in the heartland, where the night creeps in solemnly
you bought tomorrow and banished the night
if I ever think about you at night, if I whisper your name so soft
make a little more color in a lightened up night
and the night was upon us as the dark came creeping in, do you remember?
sometimes I dread the night, and feel so bitter
if the night can hold my hand and if the shadows are my friends I guess I’m alright
I can’t see the moon against the brightness of night
waiting for the light to untie night’s strings and the sky to come undone
the night was ebbing in and out like the sea
I am the power, I am the night
the past that haunts and fears that slide around in the back of my brain at night
like the closing of a story, the night rolls across the page
which is more lovely, the night or the day?
late night hurting, fever’s chill, I want a word, I need a will
let me stich your constellations onto the quilt of my night sky
A weak week!
I buried my head in a pillow to bawl
Knees to my chest like a ball
I guess it was the Domino effect
Of being vulnerable, easy to affect
Sometimes my heart twists and wrings
Most often my head hurts and rings
I assure you it's not just a phase
I've tried but the feeling doesn't faze.
No one really saw the signs
Even if it's simple science
At last I cried out aloud
Louder than I was allowed.
(there's something so comforting about homophones. <3)
I Never Could
With a shy smile and a dusty guitar
You sing me a song about rainy afternoons
You close your eyes and get lost in the lines
Leaving me envious
Of the words that left your lips
And those strings under your fingertips
I want to reach out, hold your hand
Instead, I hold myself back
Try not to break the spell
But you pull me close, hold me tight
Between now and then, I give up the fright.
It's not a fireworks-and-butterflies kiss.
Instead, it feels more like a sea breeze
And coming home
I peek a glance to see that your eyes
Are closed the way you do when you sing your lines.
Your arms wrap me from behind,
Your head on my shoulder, breath on my neck.
You hum a song
That we claimed as ours, like a wind in my ears.
This time around, it's your guitar that's left envious.
I kiss your freckles, scars, and moles.
And wonder how the songs could leave your lips
Because I never could.
Jingle bells, Umbridge smells, losers go away.
Draco’s hot, Voldy’s not.
Slytherin all the way!
