Literature Text
I was drowning for over two years
In a sea of agony and crimson tears.
Now I’m free and all I want to do
Is spend my forever with you.
I was in the Blue, way over my head
To the point where I wished I was dead.
Now not only do I simply survive;
Now, thanks to you, I can finally fly.
I know the future is shrouded in mystery,
But past and present have no goal to see.
I know the concept of forever may be fake
But that’s a chance I am willing to take.
"You have to fall before spreading your wings"
Well none have fallen any further than me;
I’m falling for you beyond the point of saving,
But at least I’m falling with some company,
Head over heels and there’s no way I’d rather be
Than side by side, shooting for eternity...

Lullaby
Hush, hush, Child
Monsters don't hide
In the dark of night.
Sleep tight, Child
You're not alone.
All evil walk on two feet
Their faces are human,
Hands can give and destroy.
Let them close,
They'll whisper sweet things,
But serpent tongues
Drip poison to your ears.
The arsenic of their words
Laces your brain with sorrow,
As it spreads slowly
Through veins and arteries,
Killing from inside,
But you have to stand up
Have to carry on.
Hush, hush, Child
Monsters don't hide
In the dark of night.
Sleep tight, Child
You are not alone.
You feel small and weak
Abandoned and fragile,
But remember always
You are loved.
Bones can break, and

Levitation
We live within the breath, we conquer air,
And never fear the unforgiving earth;
We go and say and do, and always dare.
When passing brazenly the shadow where
A white carnation gilds the suit of death;
We live within the breath, we conquer air.
Now holding life in Time’s firm rocking chair,
We cradle her, for each gold sun’s a birth;
We go and say and do, and always dare.
Though burning tribulations we must bear,
We do not wash our hands like cursed Macbeth;
We live within the breath, we conquer air.
While some may sleep like smooth-faced stone-hearts there,
Beneath the merciless waters, without mirth;
We go and say and do, an

Butterfly Magic
Even the blandest butterfly
Traces magic across the sky
Only the gifted eye can see
The words they scrawl invisibly
They write the songs the fairies sing
Gentle, peaceful, fluttering things
And if we dream a world of pall
May they bring color back to all
