“Nothing stays I’ve come to understand that even my slightest breath escapes- flying between leaves nothing stays this will end in piles of smoke with all my tears swimming on the floor they are so delicate like a flower can they swim? will they survive? like wet paint that never gets to dry so your footprints fade washing our memories away don’t be sad I’ve heard we were one of the lucky ones that’s how it is, now I, alone, writing poetry painting your face inside my mind and you happy with someone else in some unknown place maybe it was not our time maybe it never was maybe we gave all we had maybe we hid more maybe nothing's supposed to stay maybe all you were to do was to make me into a poet.” — awakeningthe_writer
Nothing stays
I’ve come to understand
that even my slightest breath escapes-
flying between leaves
nothing stays
this will end in piles of smoke
with all my tears swimming on the floor
they are so delicate like a flower
can they swim?
will they survive?
like wet paint that never gets to dry
so your footprints fade
washing our memories away
don’t be sad
I’ve heard we were one of the lucky ones
that’s how it is, now
I, alone, writing poetry
painting your face inside my mind
and you happy with someone else
in some unknown place
maybe it was not our time
maybe it never was
maybe we gave all we had
maybe we hid more
maybe nothing's supposed to stay
maybe all you were to do
was to make me into a poet.
