an alternate history

please child
don't cry
you're safe in my arms
please don't
fight to leave them again

please child
don't fret
the execution's at dawn
forget
there was a war to be won

please child
don't cry
there's nothing outside
please don't
try to look out again

please child

don't die

don't you understand
caged birds

can live without flight

bella, ciao

auf wiedersehen, sweetheart

99%

it hurts

because as introverted 

as i am,

i'm always going to wish

that

i had learned to speak words

in such a fashion,

that you would

finally understand

somewhere my love

is waiting for me

somewhere i am

waiting for you, too

if i could,

i would say the whole world,

i would find a way

to say all the right things

but my words betray me

as often as happiness does, too

so until i can learn,

to speak, instead of write,

i am guaranteed

to let you know.

donna noble

not extraordinary at all
but somehow that makes her
even more

she had one life,
only died once
but when she died,
it seemed like the world did, too,

but the best part is that
the world still spun on

and that is why
she was the best companion

because she was just a human,
but

she was human.

perhaps i never had

any friends at all
