Do not mourn

You shine

You are not lost in a

Long story without a shining moment

You are truly a star, you glow and shine

Do not let those memories go,

Nothing is gone

Phantom dreams,

Like limbs cannot be reached

But through words can stretch out like

Perfect embraces

And perfect dreams cuddled by warm fireplaces

Your words will only grow, in life and you will fight

Lemon flower bloom, you will

Have your moment

To glow,

And it’ll make everything else seem so dim,

There is still a blanket of darkness that reaches Over a glitch of a glittering fire

That sounds like it’s truth, but it may

Be something like the dark raven that tries to cover my heart like a twinkling glass beam,

But do not mourn

For there is no grace in a digging a grave that is unneeded,

You have too much to say.
