Algedonic

the silence

will awaken the noise

of joy

that lives within me

then darkness

then light

then chaos

then peace

then sadness

then joy

look inward

for the things

they refuse

to give you

you’re an angel my love

don’t go searching for heaven

when heaven lives within you

she found heaven

in a bookstore

she got lost

in the pages

to the girls

with wild hearts

may your souls

remain free

oversized sweaters

and large coffee mugs

the leaves are falling

in love with her

she could be chaos

she could be peace

all depending

on how you treat her

a father’s rejection

damages the soul

of young girls

all the way into the pits

of adulthood

who were you before the aches

of a broken heart

who were you

before the world decided

to tear you apart
