And it's killing me
Shackled, weighted
Nothing can hold
My grief

I am the air!
I am freedom!

I know it's not close
But here it's like hell
My mind plays these tricks
Tricks that hurt and tear so

I can't even think!
Can't even -

The power
Stripped so harshly away
What cruelty divides
Me from mine,
This heart condemns
My mind.

What once was
Is there no more
No more, no more, than just
A memory, a feeling
Heartwrenching, my soul
Is missing something vital

My wings, oh, my wings
They will never come back
My wings, oh, my wings
Left me here, alone
Powerless, I can no more fly
Than convey this echo of
Who I was, when I had them.

Yo. Me? I'm a professional Metaphor Creator - aka taking two things and sticking them together with determination and lots of glue to make a sandwich. (That's pretty much how I write, too. But hey, sandwiches are great, aren't they? Even if you have to look at the base idea of it.) Also known as a Thinker, Dreamer, Sleeper, and/or TalksTooMucher.

See Through Heart

#opussweeklychallenge. There's a girl in my dream. And she commands invisibility. Oh how she flaunts and teases. And taunts. As she moves through a crowd. Unseen. But with a presence felt.

Un-comparable

(Not sure about this one). #opussweeklychallenge. The flowers wilt. In sight of she. Can not compete. With such beauty. Can not come close. To such sweet grace. Can not compare. They fade away.

What Is Love (Acrostic)

#opussweeklychallenge. Lazy days in with them. Over coffee or tea. Vacancies filled. Ever afters achieved. Instantaneous or. Slow. Under starry skies. Never letting go. Cold nights and chocolate.

@Codenameverity I... I didn't even notice. Thank you for pointing that out, though. I'll just be over here, sitting in a corner, musing about how it does and trying hard not to fall into the spiralling pit of feelings those two give me.... (Seriously though, you're so right. Thanks! XD)

@mulishwhim no problem. Sorry if I do cause serious bouts of depression though. That was not my intention
