“I fell in love with copies of an original I lost long ago.”

You broke my skin and seeped into my soul.

If clouds did not move how could we see the sun?

I let go so long ago. I fear I have forgotten how to hold on.

I am still looking for a soft heart in the eyes of a someone. A wild and innocent soul. Always breathless to take in a new horizon. Someone who is waiting to drive into the night and wants me to join them.

In this wilderness, Mankind is the animal I fear.

I know how our fingers would interlace. Like this and that. Delicate yet determined. As porcelain scales in serene movements. Iridescent in ways our thoughts could not convey. How beautifully we are made in the ways we trace out along soft skins the words that linger within us.

Eternity is vague. Let me fill in the blanks with you.

All this time I have been masquerading as a soul complete.

Under the shadow of your skin, I find ancient secrets. They are now the truths I crave.

When you left, you set me free of pain. A pain I didn’t know I carried in me, until then.

Somethings that break you end up healing you.

It breaks my heart that some of my fans think that because they love me and they idolize me, they have to be just like me and dress like me and act like me.

The tests of life are not to break you but to make you.

Sadly, I part from you; Like a clam torn from its shell, I go, and autumn too.

Breakups have a way of shaking us awake and helping us see what we really want vs. what we are willing to settle for.

You are only as broken as you allow yourself to be.

One of the best times for figuring out who you are & what you really want out of life? Right after a break-up.
