a mermaid's diary
iโll love you when youโre a quiet starry night. iโll love you when youโre a cosmic storm.
you arrived with eyes of thunder and lips full of petrichor.
remember that time you broke my heart and i cried for millions of years until oceans formed
i love you when youโre a crowded city. i love you when youโre a quiet town.
I tried. With all of me. With every quiet hope I had left.
i knew better, but you felt like a fire meant to swallow me.
I will hang stars in your heart, and press flowers into every chapter that haunts you
I would plant flowers in the darkest parts of you, so that even when youโre lost you know thereโs always love to come back to
some nights i leave myself open just in case you still dream me and want to come in
it costs nothing, but there will be times it takes everything you have to hope. everything.
They melted into one and separated from the others. They're off in their own corner of the sky now.
I dream that I can be a place of warmth and softness for your heart
I'll plant seeds of hope over the broken pieces of your heart and I promise I won't leave until you become a garden of flowers.
some days sadness pulls you under and you don't fight the raging waves.
