[71] - Her
Her flowing words
Familiar but far away
Were inked onto the paper
She wrote.
"Empty cities filled
With empty people;
You are not one of them.
You are an ocean
So vast, so full of mystery,
So deep.
I am a ship.
Lost and tossing around
In your currents
But on an adventure.
You are a storm
Explosive, unexpected and
Beautifully destructive.
I am a lonely tree
Completely inescapable to
Your bolts of lightning,
Striking me in the heart.
You are the sun
So full of life and warmth
But also lonely
And so far away.
I am a distant star
Insignificant;
One in a million,
In awe of you.
You are
my oceans, my storms, my sun.
You have snuck your way past
The steel bars I've put up against
My heart.
You have accidentally
Become
My everything.
I am homesick for a place
that doesn't even exist.
You are my home."
