I know the winter is beautiful the way Snowflakes fall through your fingertips When you're trying desperately to hold on making footprints in the unmarked ice so even when it melts it remembers where you once stood

I thought the autumn was wonderful When the leaves snap underfoot With just the tiniest flicker of pressure And as  they spiral down from the branches, I remember, too late, that they are all dying, And my hand is nothing to save them

I see you, and you look like magic Like the way new leaves are born after the fall, and the sun sets stretching over them, until the stars begin

I've never been afraid of thunder But I'm so afraid of being washed by the rain When the tide comes in and takes you out with it, After all, sand -  its only broken glass? (I think)

Messages in glass bottles that wear down in the salt-edged Silt from the past at the end of the water

I laugh with the thunder, And I cry when it rains, for they tell us you'll know when it washes you clean

What's that supposed to mean? Years of steel water makes mud out of mountains, So I cast my soul out like shells to the sea (you see?) It  roars, and I whisper "I'm ready"

About love

There's nothing universal about love, And by that I don't mean The universe isn't filled with it

I mean you can't love a flower and a tiger in the same way, can you?

I love an angel the way I love loud music, speeding down a highway, the way you feel when the sun slides through the world in the morning, ruffled hair and tired eyes pillows and  blankets piled up on the floor I love the freedom you feel when you jump on the bed

I love the snowflake Like the piercing grip of winter, So soft the snow falls like I've fed my soul into the frosted ground and Its broken me up, shattered into a million Sparkling stars you breathe life onto the window pane and it dissipates like you never existed and The ache is unbelievable

I love a fire Warm and bright You laugh so hard your whole body hurts and for once you're not crying from the pain but from the joy of something  that made you feel alive again

I love the forest Soft steps footbreadths in cinnamon spice, Hold that warmth to my chest, coffee cup, old scarf, Like stepping on eggshell in the dusk hush, now, the feral creatures are watching us, and they see every bone crumble while the forest slips away I'm screaming

I love the glow of the street lamps, As their light  guides me home, to somewhere I've never been but I feel like I belong here Where I can stretch myself out as far as I can go and I know However hard the dark reaches into it, the lamplight will always catch me again and again, the shadows cross over there, But I'm safe, and soon I'll come home

to where the leaves of a tree grow deep in the autumn, Where eyes dance like fireflies in the  twilight I bubble over when the breeze blows through it, and it hurts just  a little- the leaves rattle my silence when it speaks brushing fingertips over the sunset, I’m tracing it's patterns with cold hands, but I'm not afraid when I wake

You were my autumn leaves

Spinning through me in sycamore colours

And cinnamon spice

When you laughed

I thought I heard the ice thaw beneath my feet

(just a little)

You were my autumn leaves,

Flame-tipped over that ashen asphalt

Thought I could fall head first to the tune of

your screams

Dead leaves spin and spiral, and dead hearts

Can never catch fire

(not anymore, Angel, not anymore)

Every year autumn leaves,

And my hands set fire when the frost comes in

That's when the autumn leaves, and the earth begins

to breathe

Hurricane

You were right about one thing I am a hurricane Trapped inside a ribcage, and these bones, They weren't made to be held in glass teardrops

I was made to shatter

Maybe I wasn't ready to let you go, but you shattered me, So I send my roar out into the universe, And it whispers back

[starfly-inq]

about you

You can scream that this song is about you

                                      But its not

                                                               Its about me

And how I learned to Stand          Up

(for) everything you said I swallowed            ha! There was no way I could, I  scratched at those scraps that you gave me

and maybe sparks flew all the time, but not in the way we wanted them to,

because  you'd shout out of your saccharine lips, throw shade from your soft silk hands that I was wrong

let them believe you,  your baby doe-eyes and a knife to the soul, let them get caught in every lie you ever tell about me

this song was never about you,                but you're so caught up in yourself, that you'll let it be

MeatCute

I wouldve’ given you galaxies If I had those inside me (You thought that I did, so) when you tugged at my tears I gave up

Over and over I tore out chunks of myself, And you devoured them all like a ravenous creature with cut-diamond eyes, hollow, cavernous, empty

transparent claws like ghost’s split me open and stars came out I was screaming,

you never stopped. swallowed me whole and now I am empty Left broken bones on the dirt

But still, you’re wild bitterness and the ache of a trembling autumn, You were not filled

I liked Red Throne, here's why

I know FP and Finn made a good couple, and a lot of people wanted them back together. But let's be objective and honest, he played with her, and after the break-up he returned to be the minion of PB, on the other side FP was excited to be dating someone that didn't saw her as an evil creature, and was amused by Finn humanity. Fp deserved better.

On the other side, Cinnamon Bun was the least respect citizen in the candy kingdom, and even her creator refers to him as Half baked. You can tell that away from the oppressive vision of PB he has grown and learn to be heroic without losing his kindness.

I think the pair is odd, like everyone else, but it teaches that you cant play with people you claim have feelings for because someone who truly values them can take them away from you and make them happier.
